How to lose weight forever

1/28/2017

 
The key to losing weight for the last time is not giving up as you take small, continual steps to create a new lifestyle, or habit of living, that feels so good and natural to you that you can't imagine living any other way.

​“A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” Lao Tzu


Six years ago I embarked on a weight loss journey that transformed my life.  I did what statistics said were impossible. I needed to lose a lot of weight after my pregnancy.  I gained almost 40 pounds during pregnancy and had gone into it with weight from the previous child. I lost all the weight plus some and have not regained it in the last six years.

There was so much wisdom and insight I gained from the journey.  The golden nugget, however, is when you begin to transform your life look only at the improvements you are and have made.  I thought to myself that every step, no matter how small, in the right direction was one step farther away from where I started and closer to my goal.  I figured that every workout, every ounce lost, every size dropped, every inch smaller, every dessert skipped was a step forward.  

There were slip ups.  Each time, I thought of when a ball is kicked out of bounds in a soccer game.  That doesn’t stop the game.  The ball is thrown back in and play begins again.  A weight loss goal is the same.  It’s a game you are playing till the end.  If you get sick and can’t workout, afterward throw the ball back in the field.  Pick up where you left off.  Continue the journey, don’t throw in the towel.

Small changes and small steps accumulate.  After less than a year, all the weight was off. My body was fit and toned.  I felt more beautiful, stronger, calmer, kinder, and happier.  It was work, but the real work was to keep believing in myself, being my own cheerleader every day.  This like most things in life only I could do for myself.

So, as January slips away, don’t lose hope.  True, sustainable transformation happens very gradually.  The longer it takes, the more time to establish new habits.  Then, six years later the weight is still gone and you will find yourself fitter and fitter each year.  I love coaching people toward their weight loss goals.  Beyond my nutritional training, my own slow journey gave me a richer understanding of how to transform for good. If you are interested in ending the battle, I’d love to help you!!

With love and gratitude,
Julia
