About a month, maybe two. I think the thing to remember is not to push it. Let go and let it be. That is the approach I have taken.
Last week I realized I was two pounds away from a goal I had in my head and I started to obsess about it to the point I was wearing myself out mentally and physically.
I let it go, I mean really, how important is it in the grand scheme of things?
I think some jump in with exercise, vitamins, eating schedules, doctor appointments etc.
I am not saying all those are not good, they were just not for me because I obsess. My approach is, "what will be, will be". I am not saying I will never get to the point to want to exercise but right now I try and concentrate on the mental aspects of recovery over the physical. I have had physical benefits for sure but I look at them as a perk, not a goal.
The statement " I want what I want and I want it now" comes to mind. Take it easy and one day at a time.
