In the past, fear of success has caused me to question my ability to change. I’ve had fear of committing to eating healthier because of what I thought the expectation of success would be and I felt like I was going to miss out on some, albeit small, indulgences in life. But what I realized was that by gradually starting to add healthier items to my diet, I didn’t have to take anything away. And over time, as my habits started to change, the proportion of healthier foods I consumed grew, and I ate less of those unhealthy things. Moreover, I did it by choice and not out of a perceived need to eat like someone else. I don’t feel like I miss out at all. I enjoy life. I indulge when I want, but it’s a lot less frequent than 20 years ago. And because I made that choice then, I’m healthier for it now. That was the best time to start. Guess what? The next best time to start is right now.
