Yes, this confirms what we should all know by now, but this type of reminder can also be a warning to those who need to get back on track and return to following a more healthful lifestyle.
Thanks for the reminder! But I'm still going to have ice cream this summer:)
No surprises here, but there are plenty out there who still say, "I know what to do, I just don't do it."
Changing behaviors to improve health can be intimidating, especially when it feels like there's so much to address. I work with clients to find their WIIFM—"What's in it for me" to make some changes. Motivation is boosted once they uncover reasons that resonate with them emotionally, like being a role model for their kids or living a long life with their partner.
Then, like many things in life, breaking change down into baby steps that are realistic and achievable can set the stage for progress.
Your comments are right on point! And having known you for much, if not most of your life now, I really appreciate your approach and sensitivity to your clients' needs and sense of how to motivate them to reach achievable and greatly beneficial goals. It's an incredible and wonderful gift that not everyone in your position and profession possesses.

LOL And I'm likely to treat myself to a scoop or two of gelato as well before returning to my healthier diet!

Yep, I agree, and it makes so much sense.
