Plus, the habits you need to maintain your results aren't going to be built in a month.. or even a few...
We don't even reach the "maintenance" stage of behavior change until we've been consistently showing up and doing the thing for 6 MONTHS!! This stage is also where we are typically better at handling any relapses. (Which are normal!!)
Habits don't usually form in 21 days (sometimes, sure. But usually, it takes longer)
So focus long term. Weight loss can and should look like .5 - 1lb of weight lost per week for most people (and I'm not talking linear, week to week. It will fluctuate. But that should be the average when you look back over the months)
You're gonna be less likely give up prematurely when you have the right expectations going into this.
