How Can You be Prepared to Eat Right?
I'll be patient as you answer that one. Don't give a flip answer. Let is sit in your brain for a minute or two. What do you REALLY want right NOW?
Each and every time we chose to do something we are saying no to something else. Let me explain, If I say, "Yes, I am going to eat veggies with every meal." Then I am saying no to having only a muffin for breakfast. Since you already know what is REALLY important to you, what are you going to do today to help that along? * Tip: Be able to track your action. Make it real to count or measure. Saying you will eat healthy has so many variation and can depend on our mood or feelings. But saying you will take your multivitamin every day is something you can count how many days you did that in a row. Its easy to track your progress. Say yes to something you can check off in a box.
There are somethings in my eating plan that I am just not ready to stop doing or giving up quite yet. I might not ever be. Stay within your limits while still extending extra effort to get towards your goals.
*Tip If you are thinking you should give up something but every time you think about doing it, you freeze or get that know in your stomach- it might not be the right time to do that yet. If you are unable to take a step back from your action you might not be ready for it yet. For example, my knuckles turn white as I clinch my fist when I think of giving up coffee cold turkey. But I know I could back just one cup out of my day right now.
Prepare yourself with a plan first of all. Then have an action you know you can take today. Knowing you have given yourself boundaries to protect your progress.
To Your Best Health,
