1.StepBet or Bust
Apparently, the only way I’ll walk is if I’m bribed with money.
2. Death to Couch Potato Hours
I don’t let myself “accidentally” binge 4 hours of TV anymore. One episode, max. Unless it’s trash reality TV—then I reserve the right to “study human behavior.”
3. Plan to Fail = Plan to Win
I literally assume I’ll mess up. So I pre-log food, pack snacks, and keep an “emergency gym and swim bag” in my car like a doomsday prepper.
4. Soft Stop = Hard Rule
When I feel “kinda full,” I stop. If I wait until “super full,” I’m basically applying to be a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.
5. Bye-Bye Fat Clothes
I donated almost all my old “just in case” big clothes. Now, my only backup is wearing a towel toga.
6. Food Purge of Doom
If it tempts me to inhale 1,200 calories in 12 minutes, it does not live in my house. Looking at you, Ferrero Rocher.
7. Steps = Therapy
Walking is cheaper than therapy, but also therapy. Especially when I angrily stomp my way to 10k steps after someone says, “Are you still on a diet?”
8. Tiny Plate, Big Ego
I eat on small plates so my food looks massive. It’s the only time in my life I’ll ever feel like a giant. I also made the switch from processed crap to single ingredient foods after trying a meal prep company a few weeks ago. I realized how much better I felt when I was eating “real” food again.
9. Social Media Accountability
Posting my wins and fails online so that strangers can cheer me on or shame me into better habits.
10. Lazy = Weighty
When I catch myself thinking “I’ll just do it tomorrow,” I remind myself that “tomorrow me” is a liar and a scam artist.
Which of these are you actually up for trying?
