There is something about trying to lose weight that feels almost impossible and pointless in the beginning. I suppose because weight can sometimes be so easy to put on that the dismay at lack of immediacy in seeing results after working out for a bit seems to be reasonable. Except, the fact is that is not how the body works.
To add additional fuel to the fire, one scroll through Instagram of people’s weight transformation pictures makes it look so instantaneous. Almost like cutting your hair. With just the months and years boldly printed onto their side-by-side body image comparison photos, why wouldn’t it appear so? What we do not see are the gruelling workouts, the expensive grocery bills that come with clean and organic eating or the long mental deliberations when it comes to making healthy choices on the daily.
