When you eat a healthy, balanced diet supported by regular exercise, you will lose weight. But aside from the pounds you may shed, choosing to follow a weight loss program such as FIT Medical Weight Loss will also bring with it many other positive changes into your life. Whether you consider these small non-scale victories something to celebrate, or not, they will allow you to reflect on the changes you have made to your lifestyle and more importantly the creation of healthy habits.
More energy
The fact that you have more energy is actually a big deal. This realization may not appear overnight, but one day you will be able to climb those set of stairs without having to stop and take a breather. You may be able to run longer, do an extra lap of the block or reach that yoga pose without any extra effort. Just you wait and see!

A smaller dress size
Even if the pounds are slow to come off, there will be a time when you will go down a dress size or be able to fit back into those jeans. You will feel good in your skin, even if the current dress size is not your final goal weight. Going down a size in clothing is a sure fire sign that you are winning, even if the results aren't always noticeable to the naked eye.
Greater confidence
Knowing that you have taken control of your life can be particularly inspiring and bring about greater confidence. Your increased confidence may not even be necessarily associated with your weight loss, but more to do with the idea that you are taking steps to regain your health, one day at a time.
Lowering of cholesterol
While what you eat goes a long way into lowering your cholesterol, losing weight can help. Opting to eat fresh plant-based food over highly processed food can lower that cholesterol and ensure it does not become an issue ever again. When planning what you are going to eat over the course of the week, homemade meals using a rainbow of fresh ingredients is always the best choice.
Improved sleep
With weight loss comes the chance to enhance your sleep quality. Weight loss does not only bring about radical improvements in conditions such as snoring and sleep apnea, but you may find that you sleep longer as well. Even a small weight loss of 10% of your overall body weight can bring about welcome changes in your sleep patterns.
Clearer complexion
If someone has complimented you on the quality of your skin, then say thank you and accept the words graciously. Losing weight and eating healthy can be directly reflected in our bodies and your complexion may just shine because of it. Regular exercise and a nutrient-rich diet will ensure your skin glows and detoxes itself naturally.
Less joint pressure
If you lose weight, then it stands to reason that you will have less pressure on your joints, particularly that on your knees. Even if the twinges of pain are only occasional, dropping 10 to 20 pounds can make a vast difference on the weight your joints have to maneuver every day. Losing weight can improve the pain you experience on a daily basis or even eliminate it for good.
Think about what things have improved or what small hurdles you have overcome since you started on the program. Each and every one of them is worth celebrating!
