Many persons respond well to the 'change everything overnight' method, but consider that you may be one who does not. What should you do?
You wake up Monday morning and say to yourself 'Self, I am a changed woman. I am going to lose all this ugly fat and I am going to look hot.' You are all excited, so you decide you are going to go on the latest diet. You eat perfectly the whole day. Great!
On Tuesday you eat perfectly, except for a small piece of chocolate as a reward. Hey, you deserved it. On Wednesday you have to be at work early, so you miss breakfast. You are angry at yourself, but at least the rest of the day goes well.
On Thursday you are extra hard on yourself because you don't want to repeat last morning's mistake. You are on track the whole day, but you still manage to screw up dinner.
Long story short, by next Monday you are back to your old eating habits. And you are not the only one.
Many persons respond well to the 'change everything overnight' method, but consider that you may be one who does not. Making too many changes will not work for you.
You need a mindset shift. Understand that you are trying to permanently change your eating habits. These changes are forever, ever.
Each week try to make one small adjustment. If you do this for just 12 weeks your eating habits will be drastically different. And if your mindset is that these are permanent changes, then what's 12 weeks?
Let me give some examples of changes you can make.
Week 1: Eat a healthy breakfast every morning.
Week 2: Cut all soda in half.
Week 3: Stop all soda consumption or at least go 'diet.'.
Week 4: Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies.
And so on for twelve weeks or however long it takes.
These are many other changes you can make and there is no correct order to these. You know your probalem areas better than me. Focus on them one at a time. Begin with the most difficult one for you and take care of that. Then move on to the second biggest.
To keep yourself accountable, record at the end of each day whether you have succeeded and.
Final word of advice. You will have setbacks. Don't use one setback as an excuse to mess up your entire day and week and eventually give up. If you experience a set back, continue as if you did not.
