The following question was posted by a reader at FOODPICKER.org:
I have diabetes and I'm having trouble staying consistent and motivated. I'm usually good for about 2 weeks and then I go back to my old ways of eating and lack of exercise. How can I stay motivated?
Answer: Changing any behavior is difficult and it takes time and patience. Try to set short term goals to make small changes initially, such as exercising 3-4 days a week, drinking more water or adding a vegetable to one meal each day. Write your short term and long term goals in a journal and make a commitment to yourself to write anything positive that you did that day toward achieving your goal. This will motivate you to continue to reach another goal. You will slowly replace your old ways with new healthy habits that make you feel good about yourself!
