Perspective on P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S

We live in a fast paced, quick fix, instant gratification type of world these days. Whether this is good or bad is in the eye of the beholder. It is circumstantial for sure. In some areas of life this expectation or “demand” has certainly enabled some neat and exciting things to happen within amazing time frames. In the weight loss world, however, this quick fix mentality can really prove to be a challenge … a hurdle … a detour … and ultimately a complete roadblock. When it comes to weight loss (and overall wellness) it is truly necessary to keep a healthy and realistic perspective on progress. Collins English Dictionary defines “PROGRESS” this way:

Progress is the process of gradually improving or getting nearer to achieving or completing something.

Notice the KEY WORDS? The fact is almost every word in that definition is meaningful and important when an individual is working on weight loss. Consider these:





  • Process
  • Gradually
  • Improving
  • Nearer
  • Achieving
  • Completing

These words perfectly touch on some of the essential pieces of an effective weight loss puzzle. Those people who best succeed in our program (and probably any other) realize and respect these words as they apply to their weight loss efforts.

We always want to assure that our clients realize and remember that ANY little bit of forward movement, improvement and change for the better IS PROGRESS! We want you to celebrate every little victory. Enjoy the process! And when you feel impatient or frustrated by “only losing a little bit of weight”, ask yourself this question …

Look at the size of that pound of fat! Yuk!

This image creatively demonstrates how meaningful and beneficial it is to progressively, gradually and systematically lose a pound of fat. Every pound of un-wanted, un-needed and un-healthy fat we lose can (and should) be counted as PROGRESS!

Not making any progress? Ready for better progress? Maybe it’s time for some help. If so, just click, call or come in today and see if we may be able to help you!

We love to pursue progress through the Lifetime Metabolics Weight Loss Program!
