Don\u2019t get overwhelmed by trying to make too many changes all at once. Yes, staying on your food plan 7 days a week is best, but eating right 2 or 3 days a week is a start and much better than eating right 0 days. Exercising 1 or 2 days is certainly better than no exercise. Don&#8217;t set yourself up for failure by planning to exercise an hour 7 days a week!!<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t be perfect!! When you slip, forgive yourself and start over. Learn from those mistakes. If having Oreos in the house makes you crazy\u2014and they call your name\u2014don\u2019t buy them. Bring in your favorite treats&#8212;but only ONE. Stop at the bakery and purchase ONE of your favorite pastries or cookies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ultalife.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2207 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-You-dont-have-to-eat-less-you-just-have-to-eat-right.-300x157.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-You-dont-have-to-eat-less-you-just-have-to-eat-right.-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-You-dont-have-to-eat-less-you-just-have-to-eat-right.-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-You-dont-have-to-eat-less-you-just-have-to-eat-right.-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-You-dont-have-to-eat-less-you-just-have-to-eat-right.-500x262.png 500w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-You-dont-have-to-eat-less-you-just-have-to-eat-right..png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have a long term goal, break it up into smaller goals and reward yourself when you reach on of the goals.Love yourself!!
