The truth is, the delay between the moment you begin putting in necessary effort and the time you actually begin feeling different is longer than anyone warns you about.
You'll make the right choices, put in the extra work, execute critical changes to your lifestyle, yet still, there will be nothing to show for it. You may not even manage to get out of debt or get any positive feedback from your prospects months into your painful attempt to restructure your life.
This lag between action and feedback is VERY PAINFUL. In my experience, I have noticed it is where most people give up. You start feeling you are just regaining the weight you lost, or maybe your superiors recognize you even less at work, even blaming you more for things you are attempting to do well, or your posts get shown to fewer people, or your cost per acquired client skyrockets.
In all this, my argument is that it is necessary. This is the character-building phase. This is where the classification of your efforts change from what you are doing about a challenge you have encountered, to becoming who you are as a person. Which I can tell you is by far more consistently rewarding.
Nontheless, do not worry at all. As long as you are putting in the work, you will see the reward. I can guarantee it. It's just delayed. And as they say, delay is not denial. Keep up the effort.
Have a great weekend.
