committing again to healthy eating
getting started
it's easy to get off track with your plans for healthy eating. but you can think of healthy eating as a work in progress. you'll get better each time you refocus your plan.
to get back on track, try:
- focusing on your reason.
what's your most important reason for wanting to eat healthier?
- asking yourself what's working.
give yourself credit for healthy things you already do. what helped you succeed?
- asking yourself what's not working.
what eating habits are your biggest challenge? what makes them hard?
- learning from past challenges.
what can you learn from your mistakes or challenges? how can they help you change?
- refreshing your approach.
it's best to make one or two small changes at a time. maybe you'd like to find a new healthy recipe online. or try keeping healthy snacks handy.
- taking the next step.
write down ideas for a new healthy eating habit you'd like to try.
