Big, sweeping life changes really boil down to small, everyday decisions.

You have to track every single thing you eat if you want to keep posting big numbers on the scale each week.

When I was overweight and unhappy, I thought about being smaller, I thought about fitting into different clothes and feeling comfortable in any environment or social situation. But I didn't do anything about it. I was letting myself fall victim to not planning, not clarifying steps to reach my goals. Don't go on just wanting something. Start consciously planning where you want to be.

Stop seeing the obstacles you face as reasons why you can't do something. See them as a reason why you can. And celebrate your accomplishments on a daily basis.

Getting enough sleep can be just as important as working out.
