Frustrated? Don't give up!

Let's face it, we live in a society where we are surrounded by a need for instant gratification.

We also have a mentality where we like to exert the least effort for the most results or value!

But there is one fact that must be understood - you can't lose weight or become fit overnight! It's just not possible!

When pursuing weight loss, diet changes, or a fitness plan remember one simple principle: change takes time.

In addition, if you aren't seeing results in a few days, then wait. You'll see progress (if you really are giving it your all) in a month, or two, etc.

Everyone is different. Size Zero is not the perfect size for a girl, not everyone will get a six pack, and you may not weigh the same as someone who is the same height as you. Accept the fact that you are different and whatever progress you are making is to be commended and rewarded!

If you are on a diet, or attempting to change your diet, don't let one "bad" day filled with poor nutritional changes frustrate you.

Instead, get back on your healthy eating routine and don't skip meals. Everyone has a day here and there where they don't eat perfect, you shouldn't "punish yourself" for one or two bad day(s).

Finally, if you aren't losing weight fast enough, or feel that your progress is "not worth it," then remember that your effort WILL pay off in the end.

These are just some tips from my own journey and I hope they help you stay on track to achieving your fitness goals!

Thanks for reading!
