A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step

Small, incremental change. A day at a time. A meal at a time. Find the little victories each day as you become more health conscious. Perhaps you use one lump of sugar instead of two. Maybe a little less ketchup today. Or you order a juice instead of a soda. One shake of salt instead of two. Even one healthy choice, no matter how small, starts to add up to a path in the right direction.

Don't get down on yourself if you didn't make any change. Just being aware of the process is great! And make sure to congratulate yourself for any healthy changes you do. Any kind of change starts with awareness. The mental aspect of becoming healthy is every bit as important as the physical one.
