I have heard this before...and you probably have to. It is the definition of insanity.
Before we get there though...let's take a second to see if you qualify as one of the "insane".
1) Are you eating the same things 90% of the time?
2) Are you doing the same exercises every day?
3) Are you following whatever program you are on, IN THE SAME WAY, religiously, every week without success?
4) Are you being good all week long and then excessively treating yourself every week right after stepping on the scale? (You have a whole week before you have to get on the scale again right?)
5) Does everything seem so repetitive?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then according to the completely uncertified "Dr. Alan" you are insane.
Don't stress. I am frequently insane (my partner would change the word "frequently" to "always" :-) )
What is insanity?
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I know, I know...it's an old line...but it doesn't make it any less true.
Even if you are following whatever program you are on "to the letter", if your desired goal is not being achieved it may be because your body has figured out how to adapt to your predictable habits.
With most weight loss plans (including WW) you can make drastic changes to what and when you eat without going off plan.
Think about it...and make a change.
I truly believe that the most important thing in my life is change. If I don't change I don't succeed.
Sometimes though...boring IS what you need. If you lost weight when you were eating boring, and have gone off track, then returning to boring for a while is, in itself, a change. So don't hesitate to go there....but don't stay there forever...that would be boring.
Be healthy!
