Good intentions are important, as are good ideas. But we don’t make permanent changes in our lives without good habits. How long does it take to establish a new habit? We have heard people say that you can blaze a trail toward better health in as little as six weeks. In my experience, it takes much longer than that. However, established habits, by their very nature, stick with you.
What habits am I talking about? Specifically fixing and eating nutritious foods. I have been standing helplessly by during a period of weight gain. In examining what I am eating and doing, I’m pleased to see that my basic eating patterns are intact. My diet is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, and lean proteins. Have other things weaseled their way into my daily eating patterns? You bet they have, but the foundation is intact.
As the completion of our book gets closer, I wonder what I can safely say about weight management. I have not managed my own very well, but I am a dramatically different woman from who I was in 2016 when I went on Weight Watchers for the umpteenth time, determined to make permanent changes. I can say without a doubt that have much better eating habits now!
