The people who are most successful are those who embrace both consistency and imperfection. Think of starting out a weight management or healthy living program like you would a martial art. Youd never expect yourself to have a black belt from the get go. Instead, youd start with really basic moves that youd practice over and over and over again, youd fall down a bunch, and doing so would be an expectation, and not a disappointment. And then slowly but surely youd get better and better at it. Same thing is true when building any skill set, including healthful living, and just like you might be able to picture a jumping spinning hook kick in your minds eye when you start out at your dojo, that doesnt mean youll be able to simply do one. So, too, with healthy living. Sure you might have a minds eye idea of what your healthy lifestyle should look like when youre done, but getting there will be slow, plodding, and will include many falls.
