The best way to overcome overwhelm and successfully lose weight.
Does this sound familiar?
You think about wanting to lose weight, tone up, and improving your health…
And then you think about all the things you’ll have to do. All the changes you’ll have to make.
You’ll have to workout everyday.
You’ll have to cook every single meal from scratch.
You can’t remember if it is carbs or fats that are the enemy.
You think… is it intermittent fasting that is best for weight loss or is it eating 6 times a day?
No way you can find the time to workout everyday.
No way your husband and kids will go for no carbs.
No way you can sit down to eat 6 times a day.
And you totally love breakfast so how can you wait until noon to eat?
You feel totally overwhelmed and you have no idea where to begin.
You end up doing nothing and make no changes.
When starting a weight loss journey, doing everything at once is impossible. Too many big changes are overwhelming for anybody. Overwhelm can paralyze.
What is the best way to overcome overwhelm and successfully lose weight?
Start with one small thing.
Ask yourself, what can I do right now that is a little bit better?
Can you make broccoli to go with the normal mac n cheese you make for you and the kids at lunch time?
Can you take a 5 minute walk when you go check the mail?
After a while, can you make one more small change?
Little changes over time add up. And losing weight is all about the little choices made everyday.
You don’t have to do everything all at once. Start where you are and try to be a little bit better every day.
