Most people overestimate how much weight they can lose in a month and underestimate how much weight they can lose in a year. And this is the core reason that you are struggling to lose weight. The diet industry has got you conditioned to look at your weight loss in a very short term timeframe so that you overwhelm yourself and you have ridiculous expectations of what to expect. So the secret to changing this is to start thinking longer term, start planning for your success a year from now. And what that's going to allow you to do is to take systematic, strategic approaches to changing your reading, changing your lifestyle, changing your behaviors so that not only will you lose the weight, but that you set yourself up to live at your goal weight for the rest of your life.
