Action is more important than theory here. It’s also the place where most programs fail you. Programs that claim differentiation by being a diet or a non-diet or an exercise program tend to focus in just one area, but your recovery is holistic and needs to take care in all areas. Before you think I’m being too hard on the programs, consider this: program are subservient to commercial interests. This subservience may stem from good motives, but they still have to serve many many people. You get to focus on yourself, and take what’s best from each and create your own program.
Changing your thinking, eating and activity habits will take time and patience. Rather than looking at mistakes as failure, regard them instead as data points that teach you to try something different. Most importantly, don’t give up. This is gargantuan change and will take time.
Neither your decisions nor your practice will be perfect. Making choices means balancing your needs and fulfilling all as well as you can. You are making changes that will be permanent. Prove to yourself that all habits, in all areas, can be improved.
