One of the most frequent causes why people abandon the follow-ups in my consultation is the recovery of the lost weight.<\/p>\n

The reasons for this abandonment are many: feelings of guilt, shame, discouragement and sometimes even all those feelings at the once.<\/p>\n

In my day to day I have learned to value constancy as a virtue that helps achieve all the goals that we propose to us. Along with perseverance, the ability to overcome setbacks, to fall, to get up and to continue the path that leads us to that goal, this is the key to success.<\/p>\n

The processes of changing habits require work. They are not easy or difficult, that conception depends a lot on the approach of each person, but it does require an effort. On many occasions the road has many ups and downs.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, our life does not reduce to just that process of change. There are times when circumstances force us to leave healthy eating on a second level. It has happened to all of us and it will continue to happen to us.<\/p>\n

In this sense it seems to me that Maria’s video (Pretty and Ol\u00e9 blogger) is an example to follow.<\/p>\n

When personal circumstances make food retreat to a “second level,” it is already the first step to be aware of it.<\/p>\n

The fact that this happens does not turn the previous process into a failure. It should be considered a stop along the way, or a downer, but not a failure.<\/p>\n

On many occasions this change of priorities is worthwhile, because it helps us achieve another project. I’m not saying it’s justified, but as Maria says: you do not have to repent if you manage to fulfill some other dream.<\/p>\n

And finally, resume the process, get back up and walk the path of change.<\/p>\n

It is worth listening to her in this sincere and optimistic video, which I think can be of help and example to all of us.<\/p>\n

I usually encourage my patients not to abandon the follow-up consultations even if they believe that they do not advance or even regress. You can always reevaluate, change the focus and redirect the process.<\/p>\n

Una de las causas m\u00e1s frecuentes de abandono de seguimiento en mi consulta es la recuperaci\u00f3n del peso perdido.\u00a0<\/p>

Los motivos de dicho abandono son m\u00faltiples: sensaci\u00f3n de culpa, verg\u00fcenza, des\u00e1nimo incluso todas esas sensaciones a la vez.\u00a0<\/p>

En mi d\u00eda a d\u00eda he aprendido a valorar la constancia como una virtud que ayuda a lograr todas las metas que nos proponemos. Junto a la constancia, la capacidad de sobreponerse a los contratiempos, caerse, levantarse y seguir recorriendo el camino que nos lleva a lograr esa meta, es la clave para lograr el \u00e9xito.\u00a0<\/p>

Los procesos de cambio de h\u00e1bitos requieren trabajo. No son f\u00e1ciles o dif\u00edciles, esa concepci\u00f3n depende mucho del enfoque que cada uno quiera hacer, pero s\u00ed que requieren un esfuerzo. En muchas ocasiones el camino tiene muchos altos y bajos.<\/p>

Creo que no abandonar cuando las cosas no van como esperamos, es muy importante.\u00a0<\/p>

Por otro lado nuestra vida no es s\u00f3lo ese proceso de cambio. Hay momentos en los que las circunstancias de la vida nos obligan a dejar la alimentaci\u00f3n saludable en un segundo plano. Nos ha pasado a todos y nos seguir\u00e1 pasando.\u00a0<\/p>

En este sentido me parece que el v\u00eddeo de Mar\u00eda (Pretty and Ol\u00e9) es un ejemplo que muchos deber\u00edamos seguir.\u00a0<\/p>

Cuando las circunstancias personales hacen que la alimentaci\u00f3n pase a un \"segundo plano\", ser conscientes de ello es el primer paso.\u00a0<\/p>

El hecho de que esto ocurre, no convierte el proceso previo en un fracaso. Se debe considerar un alto en el camino, o un baj\u00f3n, pero no un fracaso.\u00a0<\/p>

En muchas ocasiones este cambio de prioridades, merece la pena, porque nos ayuda a lograr otro proyecto. No digo que est\u00e9 justificado, pero como dice Mar\u00eda: no hay que arrepentirse, si se logra cumplir alg\u00fan otro sue\u00f1o.\u00a0<\/p>

Y por \u00faltimo, retomar el proceso, volver a levantarse y a andar el camino del cambio.\u00a0<\/p>

Merece la pena escucharla a ella en este v\u00eddeo sincero y optimista, que creo que nos puede servir de ayuda y ejemplo a todo<\/span>s.\u00a0<\/p>

Suelo animar a mis pacientes a no abandonar el seguimiento aunque crean que el proceso no avanza o incluso retrocede<\/span>. Siempre se puede reevaluar, cambiar el enfoque y reconducir el proceso<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>
