It’s so exciting when you see pounds come off when you begin clean eating and exercise. But if the process of weight loss slows down and you feel you are at a plateau, it’s difficult to stay motivated. Some ways to stay engaged in the process is:
-To keep doing at least 1 hour of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
-Try to consistently eat a clean diet. If you falter, don’t jump ship. Try to do better the next meal. Be careful about ‘taking the weekends or holidays off’ of healthy eating. One day can turn into 2 days, which turn into weeks can…be careful.
-Make sure your getting the emotional support by those around you. If your support group isn’t, then educate those people about how to help you and why it’s important to you.
Good habits can become habitual as easily as bad habits. Make your health a priority! Make healthy, consistent choices.
