** HOW TO APPROACH DAILY WEIGH-INS **

A simple reminder that you need to consume 3500 calories BEYOND what you burn to acquire a pound of body fat.

So don't beat yourself up over daily weight fluctuations. Most - if not all of it is NOT fat in most cases 👌🏻

Here's the reality:

Most days, our bodies perform the way we'd expect, but the body will do what it wants and there's nothing you can do to control how it reacts ALL the time.

Too much water? Too little? How much sodium did you consume? Fat? Carbs? Worked out too hard? Didn't work out? Haven't pooped in a bit? Were you perfectly accurate with logging at that restaurant??
So many things can shift scale weight...

All we can do is sow the seed, provide fertile soil, and water - the plant grows on its own. Just watch and wait as it develops. You can't rush it and expect it to turn out healthy.

It's NOT a "STRUGGLE"; it's a "PROCESS" that takes time, so have patience.

Relax. Just eat right, move and repeat.

Enjoy the ride and keep your foot on the accelerator and you will move forward! Don't get discouraged - it takes awhile to do this right, but keep at it and you WILL get there in time!👍🏻
