𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭… 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭?
I got a great question last week and realized that I’ve never actually posted about what happens once you lose the weight.
In fact, I honestly think one of the biggest hurdles for so many is not the actual weight loss itself, but it’s maintaining it.
Did you know that 6 out of 7 overweight or obese people will lose a significant amount of body weight in their life.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦:

𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝟹 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝟿𝟻%.*
What’s scarier, is of those who regain the weight, one third to two thirds will increase to a weight higher than they originally started.**𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘺𝘯𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘰𝘯. 𝘠’𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘪𝘮
So once you get to your goal, what do you do to stay there?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: we want to be sure we’re addressing all of the habits and strategies we’ve used to hopefully sustainably lose the weight and continue to implement them. From there, and with time, the more confidence you gain in your ability to maintain, the more we can begin to think about things like transitioning away from tracking, or eating more mindfully or intuitively.
Just remember, t𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡. If you choose the right path, maintaining your success should be a piece of cake (𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵)
