Introduction
Kagrenasty (name on Reddit), a 30-year-old male, 6 feet and 4 inches (193 cm) tall, recently posted on Reddit about his journey towards losing 10 lbs. His ultimate goal is to lose 30 more lbs. This article discusses his approach towards weight loss and how small changes in daily routine and dietary habits can provide positive reinforcement towards progress and help build momentum.
Small Wins Keep the Momentum Going
Most of us set goals, both short-term and long-term. Long-term goals help us envision the future we want, but their vastness also makes it hard for us to see progress. Kagrenasty's approach towards his goals was slightly different; he started with small changes and celebrated each win as a victory. This allowed him to see progress quickly and kept the momentum going which, in turn, increased his motivation level.
Positive Reinforcements are Key
Positive reinforcement is an incredibly powerful tool when trying to achieve a goal. In Kagrenasty's case, he changed his dietary habits to paleo, a nutrient-dense, whole-foods approach to eating. This minor alteration provided positive reinforcement through weight loss, while still allowing him to enjoy tasty meals cooked by his fiance. He also joined a jiu-jitsu gym, where he noticed himself getting stronger and was finally able to muscle around a 300-pound guy. These small moments of positive reinforcement have helped him stay motivated and on-track with his ultimate goal.
Self-love and Body Acceptance
It's important to remember that our body images do not reflect our self-worth. Kagrenasty's post on Reddit is a testament to his body acceptance and self-love. His post is a reminder to focus on progress, and not perfection. He posted his progress, not to boast, but as a reminder of how far he's come and to keep himself accountable. We should remind ourselves that every small step we take towards our goal, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is worth celebrating.
Conclusion
Kagrenasty's small wins on his journey towards his weight loss goal show that self-love and positive reinforcement are key to reaching our goals. Celebrating progress and learning to love ourselves is essential for our mental and physical wellbeing. His journey shows us that small changes in our daily routine and dietary habits can lead to significant changes. It's up to us to create a positive environment with these changes and reinforce them throughout our journey.
