Eating 1600 calories a day for 6 months is going to do you more good than eating 1200 calories for 2 weeks, getting discouraged, bingeing and giving up!
Getting healthy doesn’t mean you can only have salads. Have your pizza. But have it in moderation. Have 2 slices instead of 4. Add a side of salad. Have pizza one night but salad the next. You can still enjoy the food you love and get healthy!
You may not see much scale changes but physical changes could be occuring. Or you don’t see physical changes but scale changes are occuring. Or neither, but you are feeling better emotionally/physically/mentally! Any change of any kind is good.
Not much change in the side by side, lots of change in the everyday life!!
If you start big, please please please focus on your non scale goals and victories! If I was looking for a big change in the mirror I would have given up hope by now
