When you’re ready to make a change and lose a lot of weight, you might set off full speed ahead with huge goals such as, “This week I will not eat any junk food and I will work out at least 4 times a week.” This is a drastic change from your typical behavior and usually can’t be maintained long term. In order to make lasting changes take small steps. For example a small step statement would be, “Today I will eat one vegetable and one fruit.” Or “Today I will walk for 10 minutes.” When you make small steps, each day you will accomplish something and this will keep you motivated towards living a healthy lifestyle.
