Realistic Time Frames for Healthy Weight Loss
No doubt about it, we live in a quick fix, get it now, get rich quick, fast paced society. Rather than doing the hard work necessary to be successful in something (whether its business, health, or whatever), people would rather believe that there is some ‘better way’ out there that will be effortless and easy for them to achieve their goals.
Let’s be realistic. If you are a person that is overweight, or has a lot of fat to lose, it’s going to take some time to get rid of that extra weight. Think about it this way: how long did it take you to gain the weight? So why should you expect it to be gone with some miracle diet in 2 weeks? And even if there was a way to do that, would it really be that healthy? Think about it!
As most of us should know, healthy weight loss occurs at a rate of about 2 pounds per week. So, if you’re 50 pounds overweight, a good pace for you would be to work to have that weight gone in about 25 weeks. Now, don’t misunderstand, it is possible to lose weight faster than that. But too many people set themselves up to fail because of really high expectations that they just aren’t able to commit to. So give yourself a break. Set some reasonable goals that you can stick to and be willing to take the time necessary to really make some life changes.
