Have you made the decision to get down to a healthy weight, re-shape your body and change your life for the better? Great, now you have to make this commitment stick for more than a few days.

First, decide that there is no going back. Your old habits of disease are what weighs you down and holds you back from having the life you want. Let them go.

Sure, it can be difficult to say goodbye to unconscious eating, lack of planning and not enough sleep. But these are the habits of disease and you don’t want them around anymore. They got you where you are - - tired, overweight and unhappy.

As I tell my health coaching clients, “weight loss begins in the brain cells before reaching the fat cells.” That means making a commitment today and every day until health is your new habit.
