It's safe to say that if you lost 0.1 pounds in a day, you would never notice any kind of a change. Even if that occurs every day for a week, you still wouldn't even lose 1 pound.
If you step on the scale, nothing will be different. You'll likely look exactly the same.
It's easy to assume that you've made zero progress.
After 2 weeks, the scale would only be down a single pound. At that point, a lot of people would assume they've plateaued and need to make a change.
But let's look at the big picture. If this continues for a year, you'd lose almost 40 pounds.
0.1 pounds is progress you would never notice, but it's progress that is still happening, and can lead to some pretty major results over time.
Granted, you're never going to see the same results every single day your weight is ALWAYS going to fluctuate.
But when you feel like you're making absolutely no progress, there's a strong chance that the progress is just too small to notice right now.
It doesn't mean you're not making any progress. You just might not see it.
A year might feel like a long time to wait for results, but a year will pass
you by before you know it.
Don't get caught up in short-term, unrealistic goals. Focus on the big picture and try not to get discouraged.
