Good Morning Friends and Family!
How many remember the story of the Tortoise and the Hare? I know you are asking what is she talking about? Well the hare went exceptionally fast and thought he would win the race and he kept doing the race with that kind of thinking, and then the tortoise began the race and he continued on the slow and steady path and eventually became the winner of the race. The same holds true when you begin your weight loss journey.
For instance you start out fast with losing weight and then you begin to change your thought process by thinking I can begin to include back the food, or carbs, that I took out in the beginning and continue to move fast like the hare correct? WRONG, you will still need to continue on the slow pace similar to the tortoise! Taking the slow and steady mantra will help you to find the right pace of losing weight even if you lose only 1-2 pounds per week as this will help you to lose more in the end. Now you asking taking the tortoise path does this include eating food, that brought me to this plateau to begin with? ONLY you can answer that question. For instance you know you have done well with losing weight and then you take a day to include the food you have removed from your diet. The question then becomes how will you feel or is this the best choice for ME? Only you can answer this question and decide to either be the TORTOISE or the HARE!
I am going to follow the slow steady pace for me and find the strength within myself to continue the race and find the way to win over the injustice of weight loss! Not everyone is going to be fast like the hare and some are going to slow like the tortoise. JUST remember that slow and steady wins the race!
God Speed!
