Abstract: Two definitions of the effective mass of a particle interacting with a quantum field, such as a polaron, are considered and shown to be equal in models similar to the Froehlich polaron model. These are: 1. the mass defined by the low momentum energy $E(P)approxE(0)+P^2/2M$ of the translation invariant system constrained to have momentum $P$ and 2. the mass $M$ of a simple particle in an arbitrary slowly varying external potential, $V$, described by the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation, whose ground state energy equals that of the combined particle/field system in a bound state in the same $V$.
