Every Monday you make a promise to yourself "no sweets, daily morning runs and two liters of water a day," and then break down by Wednesday? So maybe you shouldn't take it all at once and try to change your established lifestyle in a few days? The secret to successful change is acknowledging and accepting that it takes time and patience. This is confirmed by the 20-year experience of the author of this book, Brett Blumenthal. She offers a full-year program of 52 small changes (from nutrition to physical activity and attitude to the world around you) that will eventually lead you to a healthy (and happy) lifestyle. One small change a week is not that much, you might think. And you will be right. But at the end, they will all add up to a new picture of your life, which will not crumble into pieces as next year begins. Get started!
