Not as in being an addict, but I realized that people do not adjust well to lots of change. Gradual change yields the best log term results. I thought about it and it makes sense. pick a New Year's goal for yourself, say....lose weight/ be healthier. Figure out what you need to do to achieve that and add one new aspect a month. So as to get used to it. After a diligent month, it is a routine now, aka a habit The two main aspects of weight loss are diet and exercise so start out simple.
January - Eat a healty breakfast every morning
Febuary - Start scheduing two days a week of exercise nothing rough a brisk 20 minute walk. a bicycle ride, an aerobic tape in your living room.
March - Start drinking you daily allowance of water.
April - Give up one unhealthy thing, or at least cut back.
May - Eat a salad for lunch at least half the week
June - Add a third excercise day.
July - Give up another bad habit, like eating before bedtime.
August - Add two "workout" days to your exercise regimine ie light weight training do them on exercise days.
September - By this point, your health should be way better, go from light workouts to strenious workouts.
October - Make a major change, like only eat sweets once a week or something of the sort.
November - Look at yourself and how far you've come along and see what you need to change next.
December - When you have maintianed your goals and now you may have very well gone from couch potato to athelete, figure out what you want to change next year and make a 12 step goal chart.
I think this one will be mine......
