It goes without saying that making progress is an important aspect
of dieting. But do you think of making progress as only pounds lost? If
you do, you are undervaluing your own efforts. Losing weight isn’t the
only measure of forward movement toward your weight loss goal. Let’s
say you’re in the middle of a diet. Let’s say you did well on your diet
all week, but you didn’t lose any weight or you don’t think you lost
enough weight. You are still making good progress. You are still on the
right path. You are doing some or all of the following: being true to
your diet plan, dealing with stresses without turning to food,
preventing old habits from creeping back in, planning ahead, following
through on your intentions, maintaining your self-confidence, staying
well ahead of the danger signs, and not making excuses. These things
are wonderful achievements and even in a week where you lost no weight,
they are at work behind the scenes. Making progress in these areas
guarantees that not only will you achieve your weight loss goal, but
you will be able to stay there.
