The Power of ONE Habit

Tiny Tummy Tips, Issue #72: Happy New Year! This is the New Year's Resolution you can actually keep!

Sadly though, most of us are setting resolutions that statistically we’ll give up on before the month comes to an end :(

Did you know..

…Unrealistic Expectations are a big reason resolutions fail. In other words, setting your goals “too high!”

Those of you who’ve worked with me have heard me say, “set your goals so low you can’t miss them.” What I really mean is …try not to make too many changes all.at.once.

It’s not usually realistic or sustainable.

On the other hand…

Even a small, seemingly insignificant habit, when consistently practiced over time, can lead to significant positive changes in your diet and weight.

Essentially, the power of making even a 1% improvement each day can accumulate to substantial results over time.

What You Can Do RIGHT Now

Think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually, consistently, and with commitment, you'll have a healthy diet sooner than you think.

And 2025 is the year to do so!

Here’s a list to spark some ideas:

Pick ONLY ONE thing on the list and don’t move on to another habit until you’ve mastered ONE.

Remember…

The smallest habit, when done daily can add up to huge changes in the way you look and feel.

• Shop regularly- you can’t eat healthy food if you don’t have it!
• Eat breakfast
• Eat at regularly scheduled mealtimes- every 3-4 Hours.
• Carry water
• Drink zero calorie beverages
-OR-
• Portion control – use smaller dishes and utensils or weigh/measure your foods
• Eat healthy, lean protein sources at most meals
• Eat more fiber: vegetables, beans, and fruits
• Eat bariatric friendly snacks- protein and/or veggies
• Eat a salad every day.
-OR-
• Limit treats vs avoid them; Buy the smallest possible package of treats.
• Expand your range of healthy food choices- learn some new recipes!
• Learn how to plan ahead- menu plan or meal prep
• Reach out for support. Everyone does better with another pair of eyes on them.

I'm HERE FOR YOU!

You’ve got this! Here's to a fantastic 2025! Make it your best year YET!
