Microblog: Be Patient with Healing and Weight Loss

Be patient with healing and weight loss. Let the process run its course. Don’t try to outpace losing weight. It’s not a sprint or a competition. Even if you are ahead of the weight loss game, you will eventually feel the adverse effects (undereating can cause hormone imbalances and adrenal issues, etc.) ⠀

💡You didn’t get sick overnight. Don’t expect to heal overnight.
