Well anyone who says it's easy is both right and totally wrong.
It really is just a matter of making the decision. But if it was so simple everyone would do it.
Maybe set little goals and work your way up?
Like:
- if you add sugar to anything, halve the amount or
- 5 minutes on an exercise bike every day or
- give up bread or pasta or potatoes
And when you achieve that goal, set a new one. You'll gain more motivation with each little success and you can aim for bigger goals as you get used to it. Report back here and tell us of your successes. Every little bit counts!
People often feel unmotivated because they are looking at the big picture and it all seems like too much. But it's amazing how much easier it is if you break it down into parts!
And if it helps, do it with a friend.
