I would love to hear what you came up with! You can share your new habit in the comments
section, if you are comfortable with that.
If you’re not comfortable sharing in this forum, tell someone close to
you. Have them help hold you
accountable. That’s often one of the
most difficult things about getting and staying healthy – accountability. I have found that it is better for me if I
share my goals with at least one person because when they ask me how I’m doing,
I am just competitive enough (I know, it’s shocking) that I don’t want to have
to say I haven’t been following through.
It’s not that it’s a competition with the person holding me
accountable. It’s the competition within
myself to bet better than I thought I could.
That and I really hate failure!
So my new healthy habit will be to only drink one Diet Coke
each day. If you know me, you know this
is a HUGE step for me as I may or may not be addicted to Diet Coke. But, I’ve done it before and survived so I
know I can do it.
Good luck with your new healthy habit. You can do it!
BE BOLD! BE YOU!
