Have you seen those Couch to 10K running
programs? They outline what a person needs to do in order to get out and run
their first 10K. It’s a REALISTIC plan and is predicated upon small wins that
become stepping-stones for the larger ones (longer distances). It’s about
gradual and steady progression as you gain confidence from your previous
successes. It makes sense, right? Because you wouldn’t expect someone who
wasn’t active or has never run to just go out and run a damn 10K would you?
So why do we think it’s any different when
it comes to healthy eating? If you’re someone who hasn’t eaten well for a long
time, what makes you think that you’re all of a sudden going to follow a healthy
“diet” plan perfectly (or worse; a fad) staring next Monday, next month, or
next New Year’s Day?
There are sometimes a hundred steps between
where you are, and where you want to be. The point is that you begin, and completely
embrace the point at which you are starting from. Stop looking at other people,
thinking that you should be where they are. Instead, get clear about where you
want to be, break down the goals into much smaller pieces, and start taking
those steps!
Not sure where to start? Sign up for my

steadily achieving the personal nutrition goals you have set for yourself!
