4 Common Weight Loss Challenges and How to Overcome Them

When it comes to achieving weight loss goals, no one is perfect. In any process that requires significant changes in your lifestyle, there will be challenges, and getting thrown off track occasionally doesn’t mean that you should throw in the towel.

Once you understand this about your weight loss journey, then you will have set yourself up for lifelong success. In order to get you started, here are some of the most common weight loss challenges you can expect to face and how to overcome them:

1. Unrealistic Deadlines

When it comes to weight loss, many people want to set huge goals. They set up unrealistic deadlines to achieve these results and then end up becoming frustrated when they are unable to meet this date.

What you need to do: The temptation to try to get to a certain weight in time for an event, such as a wedding or other big occasion is strong. However, by doing this, you could be setting yourself up for failure. It’s important to be patient with your body, set realistic goals, and then work hard to achieve them.

Remember: Taking the time to establish healthy habits will help you achieve your weight loss goals in a happier manner and it’ll allow you stay at your weight goal for life.

2. Guilt

For many people, occasional setbacks in the weight loss journey can lead to overwhelming feelings of shame and guilt. This can make them frustrated and worried, and lead to them skipping their weekly weigh ins or meetings with the personal trainer from fear that they gained weight.

What you need to do: Knowing you’ve overindulged or skipped too many days of exercise can be upsetting, but instead of punishing yourself, why not learn from the lesson? Don’t let one mistake stop you from keeping track of what you eat or getting back to the gym.

3. The ‘Diet’ Mentality

When you think of your weight loss journey or your nutrition program as a ‘diet’ this can sometimes derail you and you may get hung up on ‘i can’t wait until I can eat whatever I want again’ and it could cause you to overindulge or binge.

What you need to do: When you go on your weight loss journey, create habits that you know you’ll be able to keep up every day for the rest of your life. Even if it’s one habit at a time, dedicate yourself to making the change for good. This will help you see it as a lifestyle change rather than just a temporary ‘diet’ and you’ll be more likely to keep the weight off.

4. Impatience

Have you been seeing incredible results from your weight loss program, but now all of a sudden the changes have stopped coming? That is often the case with weight loss: the closer we are to reaching our goals (e.g the last 10 pounds) the more difficult it will be to shed.

What you need to do: In such a scenario, patience really is key. Stick with your diet and exercise regimen and eventually, you will reach your goals.
