It's not your fault!
Resolutions, such as "eating healthy," are nearly doomed to fail. That's why I generally dislike them.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when people take the first steps toward change! It's an exciting time! I just want you to make goals that work for you. Unfortunately, I often hear resolutions stated in ways that make change less attainable. Vague goals ensure vague outcomes. It is like tying your shoes together at the starting line of the race! Instead, make your goal to change a habit and it's like giving yourself a head start.

Forming the new habit is key. The more you visualize yourself executing your plan, the closer you are to achieving it.
Happy New Habit!
