In sport, a well-known saying runs into something like: It is
more important to remain number one than becoming one. Unfortunately,
for many of us who are constantly worried about weight loss, the same
applies.This of course, is not to suggest that losing weight is easy. It
is only to suggest that the second part, the more important one, is the
more difficult of the two!
Why is maintaining weight loss important?
We saw that losing weight is easier than maintaining the loss. Why? Because to lose weight; we would have put in a lot of effort in the form of exercise and dieting. In the course of doing this; we would have pushed ourselves to work beyond what our bodies are capable of. Once the efforts stop; we are bound to come back to where we were.
