⁣It’s a snowy day here in MN and it got me thinking about trying to drive in this weather. ⁣

⁣

Driving like a turtle, getting mad at speeding cars because “clearly they are idiots”, and white knuckling around corners. ⁣

⁣

And then every once in a while, thinking you can make it over a snowbank only to be proven wrong.⁣

⁣

If you’re starting with enough speed and momentum, you’ll have a better chance of being successful.⁣

⁣

But if you’re starting from a slow pace, your ass is getting stuck. No matter how hard you hit the gas, your wheels are left spinning and you end up frustrated. ⁣

⁣

Same goes for your metabolism. ⁣

⁣

If you’re a chronic dieter (intentionally or unintentionally), chances are your metabolism has adapted to a lower rate (lower speed). ⁣

⁣

When you try to drive through that snowbank (a weight loss plateau), you don’t have speed (metabolism) in your favor. ⁣

⁣

You probably know that hitting the gas is pointless when you’re stuck in a snowbank. But that is exactly what most people do when it comes to hitting a plateau.⁣

⁣

You think you should just hit the gas 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫, work 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫, push 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫! ⁣

⁣

But like the snowbank, it’s probably just making it worse

⁣

Instead of getting mad at your car for getting stuck or angry at others for cruising past you, you might consider figuring out how to “unstuck” yourself.⁣

⁣

How do you put the car in reverse so you can build up the speed and navigate around that snowbank?⁣
