There is not a day that goes by that I do not see a number of patients who lament that it was a difficult week becuase they became distracted with other issues in their lives. To mlosw weight requires planning, counting portions, and otherwise thining about it constantly. When distracted, we tend to make quick decisions which leads us to the high-caloric choices that got us into the weight problem to begin with. Also, losing weight requires making choices...choices involving giving up things that we like to do...wine at night...snack foods before bed etc.
I implore my patients to always keep in thje forefront of their minds WHY it is so important for them to lose weight. YOU are making the choice to become healthier and happier...look younger....wear clothes that look great on you, etc. These are GREAT choices...but they require your RESOLVE to "make it happen". Losing weight is an active activity..gaining weight is passive. Your resolve is required to be successful in your efforts.
