View permanent weight loss as a process, not an event

View permanent weight loss as a process, not an event.

Most great achievements are the result of hard work and a designated plan of action. As they are often time consuming, progress is made in small, purposeful steps. 

The same is true concerning permanent weight loss. It's not just going to happen. Through a process you create and execute, you are infinitely more likely to succeed in all your endeavors.  Save the "events" for birthdays and celebrations, and view permanent weight loss as a process of making a plan, and then, each day, doing the next right thing.

Action for the day: Today, simply do the next right thing. Whenever you have a decision to make, whether it's what to eat or what to do after work, do the next right thing.

Thank you so much for this very poignant one liner!  It's so simple yet so powerful, I got chills upon reading it:

                 "Simply do the next right thing."

It helps to eleviate the overwhelminng feeling of everything that needs to be done.            

Thank you for this.

It's so hard to remember it's a process. Thanks for the reminder. I agree with the previous poster- "Do the next right thing" A great motto to live by.

I try to remember that life is not a destination but a journey, started from within the womb.  We have to keep active in our efforts to enjoy this moment.  If it's a painful moment, then remember that its just a moment.  we can make it through that.  Its when we put all those moments together that we get in trouble.  Live in the now!
