Social media has created a standard that never existed in the clinical data. Here is what the research actually says about how long this is supposed to take.
Hi, Nyk! I recently wrote "Before & After Pics Aren't My Whole Story" because they are not. Also, my "weight loss story" is an entire *health story* that took 3 years to go from top to, what I call, the Permanent Plateau... remission from obesity... "maintenance."
This was really good. I am not on social media and have not been since 2016, so have blessedly missed the comparison drama. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE, PEOPLE!!
"Permanent Plateau" is such a reframe and I love it. Three years to get there and calling it remission from obesity... that's powerful. That's the kind of language shift we need more of honestly.
And you not being on social media since 2016?? You might be the wisest one here. 😂 Thank you for reading and for sharing.
I also don’t want to lose the weight too fast because you don’t learn healthy eating and other healthy habits overnight.
I can’t wait for the release of the 20% rule!!!
The pressure is ON. 😂 I really hope it lands the way I'm imagining it in my head! 🤍
