Adherence is the holy grail of lifestyle change - how to actually maintain the new exercise routine or eating plan over the longer-term? Many of the answers in fact lie right at the beginning of the journey. To be able to maintain the change, you need to be properly ready to implement that change in the first place. But what is it to be ready? And how ready do you need to be to not only make the change, but to also make it stick?
To weigh or not to weigh? That is the question which many on a weight-loss mission find themselves grappling with. On the one hand they are told to "throw away the scale", but on the other they live in a society that is obsessed with kilograms as the be-all-and-end-all measure of progress.
Once at goal weight, the game changes. Or at least, it should change - from a losing approach, to one of maintenance. If one does not manage this shift, then there is a greater likelihood that things will start going backwards again.
