Momma Fit Episode #35: Why Quick Fixes Don't Work

Momma Fit Podcast

I get the instant gratification, and when we make healthy changes to our diet and start a new exercise program, we want to see results. Sooner rather than later, am I right? I get it, and I wished it was that easy!
But most of these diets do not work forever. But if you are lucky and learned a way to eat that works for you and it is a lifestyle change....AWESOME!!
But some of us go back to the exact same pattern of eating and exercising (or not exercising…) as before (and often times before we’ve even finished the challenge…). And sometimes we fool ourselves into doing it all over again because ‘it worked that one time.’
Note: if you’re trying the same quick fix over and over again, it’s clearly NOT working for you; it is, however, working for the company or person that you purchased the quick fix from…
That’s because quick fixes may be quick, but they certainly don’t ‘fix’ the underlying problem; our often distorted and unhealthy mindsets around food and exercise.
What is the best 'fix' to this problem?
Starting tomorrow, make one small change in your diet or exercise routine. See if you can sustain it for a week. If so, make another small change in your nutrition or exercise routine. See if you can sustain both for a week. Repeat over and over and over again until the changes become habits.
It’s not glamorous, I know...
But it works. Time and time again.
