TV and social media love to focus on big transformations. Massive weight loss, extreme muscle gain, tiny people standing in their old, giant pants. It can make you feel like if you aren’t seeing big results quickly, you’re doing something wrong. Yet, there’s a reason why the phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day” rings true, even after so many centuries since its completion.
The truth is real results take time. You can achieve crazy results fast, sure, but only if you’re willing to give up everything you love. Not to mention, you’ll need to be prepared for the high likelihood of losing all your progress just as fast as you gained it. Slow and steady wins the race, every time. Commit to tiny changes in your lifestyle and results will come – and more importantly, they will stay.
