A short motivational guidance by Jim Katsoulis advising people trying to lose weight to avoid an all-or-nothing mentality. He contrasts intense bursts of effort that lead to burnout with sustainable small, consistent changes (‘be all or something’) that accumulate into lasting results.
Chapters
You've got to get out of the all or nothing mindset when it comes to weight loss, because it traps you in a cycle of where you take lots and lots of action and then you get burnt out or you don't get results fast enough, and then you go back to doing nothing again, and it keeps you trapped in that cycle over and over, and you never get anywhere new. So the alternative to that is be all or something. Listen, sometimes you're going to want to be really focused and hit it hard. Great. But the times when you're not, you still need to be engaged in the game, and that's where you have to be focused on little things, you know, small little changes that are sustainable, but they're going to build up over time and get you the results you want.
