Don't Put A Deadline on Your Body

May 13, 2015 Jess Dukes

We often put deadlines on our bodies. Wanting to lose a certain number of pounds by a certain date...and when that date nears and we aren't to our goal, we give up.

Rather than being on a diet for a month, make it a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyles have no end date. If you lose 30 pounds, you will have to work the rest of your life to keep it off. We don't get to lose weight and then go back to our old habits. If you want to lose weight AND keep it off, you have to work at it forever. 

Every. Single. Day.

Weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. There is no prize for whoever loses weight the quickest. You didn't gain the weight overnight, so don't expect to lose it overnight. I see so many of my challengers and friends beating themselves up when they "only" lose a pound.

HELLOOOO! A pound is AWESOME!!!! Be proud of yourself every single step of the way and remember, it is not a race. Rather than trying to lose weight quick, focus on creating healthy habits that will last a lifetime. 

Create a healthy lifestyle and the weight will take care of itself.
