"How do I lose weight fast?"
I guess the best way to do that is...
... chopping off a limb? That's an instant 10+kg lost right there.
Ok no no bad joke please don't. But also please don't chase for fast weight loss. Any "fast" weight loss tactic usually involves something extreme and unsustainable. All you get from chasing fast results is a number on the scale if you're lucky. You don't learn anything from the process. The moment you reach your goal the panic starts.
Panic cos you stop doing that extreme thing, and your weight starts to rebound back day by day. I've seen that scenario so many times. In myself, in family and friends, in those I've coached.
Losing weight is a lifelong journey. It's so so much beyond a mere number on the scale. It's dabbling with your relationship with yourself. Getting yourself to do the things you gotta do even when you're feeling at your absolute low. Reward yourself when you start to genuinely see how hard you're working to get yourself closer to your goals.
It's working on your relationship with food. Being OK with enjoy food you love without the guilt and anxiety. And also remembering to pack in the nutrient rich whole foods you know your body needs to function on a day to day basis. It's knowing when it's OK to indulge, when it's needed be mindful to fuel your body with its needs.
It's a long long process of relationship building. Relationship with yourself, your relationship with food. These are the anchors of sustainable weight loss. It's not some secret formula, some secret recipe, or exercise.
It's building sustainable habits that you can carry with you 5 years from now.
Stop chasing for speed. Stop looking for fast. Focus on today. Give it your maximum effort. Then do it again tomorrow, and the next day. Again, and again, and again.
Before you know it, you're gonna be right next to your goals.
Stop worrying about how long it’ll take. Worry about how consistent you are with your plan.
So… how consistent are you so far?
