Just the knowledge of this
Can help you get better results
That is
After 3 weeks or so
If starting anything
You’ll get a wobble.
You’ll lose a bit of motivation.
Maybe you’re a bit less consistent.
This is the dip
Where it feels easier to start again.
Like the image shows
And it feels easier to give up and start again.
Now given this
I had a message from someone that said that they always hit a sticking point at week 3 and 4.
Now, what is the sticking point?
The scales…
Not their energy
Not their measurements.
It’s that attachment to the scales.
Now, this can be so many reasons
From menstrual cycle
The whoosh effect (water retention)
Fibre intake
Water intake
And what if those results we wanted
were just around the corner
But we gave up
Concluded that we must be different ?
Metabolism broken?
What do our actions do then?
If you believe you can’t lose any more weight,
What do you do?
How do you act?
Now compare this to what you would do if you believed you could lose weight ?
Food for thought.
But one last thing…
Consider what you’re comparing to.
If you’re comparing week 1 to week 2, and week 2 to week 3 weight loss, expect it to go up and down,
For all of the reasons above, from water retention to monthly cycle…
