Hey all, I’m about a month in to my weight loss journey and have lost roughly 5 lbs (Yay!)
I am an impatient person by nature and definitely have a hard time with weight loss because it takes perceivably forever. Doing something that requires such significant lifestyle changes for this long of a time is hard work when your mental focus is generally only about 25 minutes long.
However, I am looking to lose roughly 30 lbs total. At a pound a week which is a pace I’d like to try to maintain, that’s just over half a year.
The good news, is that 1 of those 6 months is already behind me, and I think that usually for me, the first month is always the hardest (weight doesn’t come off right away, body is adjusting to being hungry constantly, general sense of not feeling any substantial progress). Upon realizing this, I’m trying to think about it less as a 6 month journey, and more of a month to month thing. A month of doing something is a lot easier than doing it for 6 months. And if I can last one more month, then I’m literally a 1/3 of the way to my destination. With the holidays coming, I know this won’t be completely linear. However, I’ve got a “feeding routine” and an exercise routine to help support my progress, and have a success mindset that will hopefully guide me through the upcoming season of a million + one temptations of food and beverage.
With one super successful month behind me, I’m just feeling very motivated to tackle the next month, and tackle just the rest of 2025. We will handle 2026 when we get there but for now, just trying to celebrate incremental wins and focus on incremental goals.
