Weight loss and control may pose one of the greatest lifelong personal challenges that anyone can face, but all personal changes are challenging.
We all follow certain paths in our lives because of many very powerful influences. Your childhood, genetic makeup, early experiences, relationships with significant people, financial status, and many other factors get you walking down a certain road. Trying to get on a different path takes great effort.
The fact is that people must struggle to maintain regimens of any kind that are different from what they are used to doing. Almost regardless of the consequences, we resist change mightily.
Here’s the thing:
It’s persistence toward intensity and consistency that makes change possible.
. . . and only highly intensive and consistent efforts at weight control really work.
So stay in the struggle even when your scale betrays you.
