Trying to lose weight but feel like you've hit a roadblock? It's like we're a wolf trying to huff and puff and blow down an impenetrable brick wall. But of course, we want to come out as winners!
Thankfully, we have more than just our breath to tackle our health and wellness concerns. If you can't find the motivation to hit the gym — or just can't a successful workout routine — it's time to try out a new program. The same goes for if you're having trouble figuring out and sticking to a good diet!
Losing weight — and maintaining that loss — is no easy task. According to Kevin Hall, senior scientist at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, "Your body does persistently fight back and try to make you regain the weight that you've lost." (NPR) That's why it's important to make actionable changes you can stick with for a long time to come.
