8 Reasons You May Fall Off The Weight Loss Bandwagon--Part 1

According to a study from Oxford University published in the
International Journal of Obesity, within 3 to 5 years, about 80
percent of all 'losers' have regained the lbs, and often gained
back a little extra.

According to research by the National Weight Control Registry, that relapse rate may be as high as 95 percent!
For comparison, relapse rates for drug, alcohol and tobacco
dependency have been reported in the range of 50-90%!
This means that lots and lots of people have lost weight. But not
many have kept it off. Therefore, we don't have a weight loss problem,
we have a weight-relapse problem; we have a "not sticking with it"
problem.

Here are the 8 reasons why you fall off the wagon:

1. No focus:
You didn't set goals, you didn't put your goals in
writing, and or you didn't keep your goals in mind daily (by reading
them, affirming them, looking at a vision board, etc.)
