Encouragement

laurenalbee5957

I tend to get discouraged easily when I don't see results right away so I stop dieting and exercising so my question is how can I think differently so I can follow through with my goals this time? Does anyone have any helpful insight for me? Thanks in advance.

Stop thinking of it as dieting, think of it as a lifestyle change, make small sustainable changes and build them up over time. Exercise isn't necessary for weight loss, your calorie goal doesn't take into account purposeful exercise unless you've set a manual goal using your TDEE.
