I’ve noticed that when I attempt to lose weight, I always have an all-or-nothing motive. If I eat something that is considered bad, I get all strung out about it and figure that the day is already ruined, why not just indulge the rest of the day and start tomorrow? Unfortunately, tomorrow came and passed way too many times.

My new approach to weight loss is going to be slow and steady with a series of small goals that will ultimately lead to a healthier me. This page specifically is going to house all of those goals and will be my check list when I complete each one. I’m going to start from literally “ground zero” in order to work up some momentum! Over time, more goals will be added and hopefully some will be crossed off!
