As a dietitian, one of the biggest client frustrations I hear is, \u201cI know what I should be eating, but I just can\u2019t do it.\u201d The problem isn\u2019t often a lack of general information, but situationally specific information, and understanding goals, unmet needs and personally appropriate strategies, to alter your environment & the habits which hold you back.

There are some key misconceptions about change that really need clearing up for people who seek better health. A lot of people get stuck because they\u2019re looking for quick fixes by brute force, but real change is an art that takes time and sensitivity. Setbacks are a normal part of the learning journey. What\u2019s important is reviewing how the miss-steps and mistakes actually came to be and then tweaking your plans and strategies to accommodate and overcome the hurdles. I notice that clients neglect to celebrate small wins along the way, ultimately invalidating their hard work and which make each milestone feel few and far between. This leads to people having big lapses in motivation or giving up altogether. The trick is, being in the journey for the long haul and developing the tenacity to make it all happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
