This is all so true!! I remember going to a Weight Watchers meeting when i was a member and hearing a woman's story of how she'd lost the 50 lbs she'd wanted to in one year. She said that she lost roughly 1lb a week, which would have seemed too slow for me and i would have gotten de-motivated! HOWEVER she just stuck to it and one year later the 50lbs was gone, and stayed off!
Slow and steady wins the race!
Also, it got me thinking how it's just as easy to put that 50lbs on just by a slow creeping up of 1lb a week...and that's just 500 extra calories per day that you eat but don't burn off!! But i like the positive outlook better!!
I think the moral of her story was not to set the standards too high, but look at the BIG PICTURE even if its a year away!
