Hey there. We’ve all been told that weight loss should happen fast. Everywhere we look we see messages that say the quicker we lose weight the better. I fell into that trap too. For years I thought if I could just get to my goal weight faster I’d finally feel good enough. But you know what really happens when you try to go full speed all the time? You burn out. You start. You stop. You restart. And before you know it you’re in the same exact cycle you’ve been stuck in for years.
Here’s what I’ve learned. The secret to real lasting weight loss is slowing down. That might sound strange after years of hearing the opposite. But think about it. If someone asked you for advice on how to lose weight and keep it off what would you say? You’d probably tell them to take it slow. To build habits they can do consistently. You’d tell them to find a way to make it part of their life. So why not give yourself the same advice?
I had to learn that my preferences matter. In fact they’re the foundation. Diet culture has convinced us to cram our lives into strict meal plans and workout schedules that don’t fit. When they don’t work we’re told it’s because we don’t want it enough. That’s not true. The truth is if your plan isn’t built around your preferences it’s not going to last.
Being calm and deliberate is what changes everything. When you’re calm you stop panicking about what the scale says each morning. When you’re deliberate you make choices that feel right for you instead of reacting to every new diet trend that pops up online. This is what the inside/out approach is all about.
If you’ve spent years chasing quick fixes I want you to know something. You deserve better. You deserve to feel calm about your food choices. You deserve to enjoy the habits that will carry you forward for the rest of your life. And you deserve to build a life that you actually want to live in while you’re losing the weight and long after it’s gone.
