Remember the appealing factor about crash diets is that they have a
time limit, lose 20 pounds in one week. This makes you feel that you
can tolerate the craziness for a short period of time yet we are under
the illusion that we can still keep the weight off when we return to our
old eating habits.
Slow wins the race you are in this for as long as it takes. This is not a
crash diet with an unrealistic timeframe. This is you; your weight loss,
your life and your journey will be different from the next person.
This change is for good and the beauty about that is the results won’t
go away. You will permanently keep the weight off because this is
how you will live for the rest of your life. Not only that you will have
reduced your risk of heart disease, blood pressure and stroke and are
on your way to living the full life that you deserve.
No matter what weight you have to get down to, you’re going to keep
going until you arrive at your goal however long that may be. If you
are 300 pounds it will take a little longer to get to your goal weight
then if you were 200 pounds. But it’s only a small price to pay
compared to the quality of life you will gain in return.
The fact that you will be able to live life again where your weight may
have previously restricted you is priceless. You will be around longer
for your family and to watch them grow up. So in answer to your
question, for as long as it takes.
You didn’t get this way overnight and so it will take a little bit of time
to undo it, not nearly as long as it took to get that way in the first
place. Remember what you gain in return far outweighs the little
sacrifices, any day.
To a long and happy life!
