Focus On Changes, Not Comparisons

I know this person who was late to my class almost every time. Somewhere a person is reading this and wondering if I am talking about them.

Since she was late so often, I asked her one time why she was late every single time since we start at the same time every day. She explained to me that one time it took her 5 minutes to get to class, so now that is how long she thought it took to get there.

Turns out she was 5 minutes away under perfect conditions.

No traffic, not stopping at any lights, etc… She had never really thought about it before and she has since ended her tardy to the party streak.

Now one person really knows I am talking about her :)

The point of this is not to be on time, although that is important too. The main thing I want you to remember is to never compare yourself to anyone else. 

Even if that person is you.

Over the years I have had several women tell me what they did to lose weight the last time. 

Most of the stories start with, “When I was 22 I (insert diet or exercise program) and got great results really quickly. Not sure why this is taking so long. What am I doing wrong?”

The majority of the women in my classes are 45 and older, have multiple kids, and work full-time jobs. 

That is a completely different situation from a 22-year-old with less responsibility, stress, hormone changes, etc…

Even if you are doing everything right, it might take a while!

Don’t try to compare yourself to the 22-year-old you, she is completely different.

Focus on making changes, not comparisons. 

I am going to keep harping on this point to make sure that it gets through. What can you do today to get closer to your goal?

-If you lost an ounce, you are on your way.

-If you worked out once this week, it’s a start.

-If you drank water instead of your usual sweet tea, great job!

You are looking for progress, not perfection. 

Stay the course, avoid comparison, be positive, and you will get there. You might even be on time ;)
