Will Weight Loss ever get EASIER???

  
  
  
  
  

Dear Eliza,

I have really been focusing on my weight loss lately and have lost over 30 pounds. It feels really great but it's a lot of hard work. Will I ever be able to stop focusing so hard and working so hard at it?
Candace



Hi Candace,

Congratulations on your success so far! Losing 30 pounds is not easy for ANYONE!

The answer to your question is yes and no! I know that's confusing, but let me explain. Weight loss is always difficult. People who are able to manage their weight throughout their lives never really stop focusing as hard as you are on weight control. People who stay at a healthy and comfortable weight will always be thinking about making healthy food choices and getting in some type of movement or exercise. However, after doing this for some time it will get much easier to do so. You will feel more comfortable doing so, and you will learn more options for food and exercise choices over time. So yes, it does get easier to be healthy the more you do it, but no, you will never be able to ignore healthy food choices and/or exercise and be a successful weight controller. Just know that you are not alone in this battle. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
