Last week we started a conversation all about the power of habits.

When we’re “on a diet” we have to use a ton of mental energy and willpower to make it from one day to another. But when you understand how to instead build healthy habits, living a healthy lifestyle becomes second nature.

It’s no longer something you do, it’s who you are. And that is the ultimate goal and the ultimate recipe for long term results.

or 2: I'm going to be good this year. I don't need that cookie. Nope, no holiday cocktail for me. S'mores? No thanks....... Fast forward to standing in front of the fridge at midnight eating every dessert in site.
