This was a little mindset shift/epiphany I had that I thought I would share!
Like a lot of you (or maybe everyone who's ever lost weight ever), I struggled in the beginning with how long it would take me to reach my goal. I had and have a relatively small amount to lose- 35 lbs. However, losing at a lb a week, that's still 35 weeks. 9 months! A pregnancy! Some of you are looking at more time. Some are looking at less time. A couple weeks, a couple months, a couple years. Regardless of the time frame, one thing is certain: weight loss isn't instantaneous, and that fucking blows.
However, your body won't exist in a vacuum the entire time. You aren't going to exist at your starting weight and then one day POOF! Suddenly you're in your goal weight body! It doesn't work like that (duh). You'll be 200 lbs, then 190 lbs, then 180 lbs, and on and on and on until you hit your goal weight.
That means that even though it might be months and months and months until you're at your Ultimate Form, you'll start looking better a long ass time before that. You'll see changes in your body before the scale reads whatever you want it to read, whether it's more energy, clearer skin, changes in the way your clothes fit, a flatter stomach, the reemergence of a forgotten bone, a slimmer face. Every pound counts!
Trust the process! It'll snowball! And if you're still feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of time you're looking at, remember that it'll pass regardless. Don't let impatience trick you into doing nothing!
