It's a long read but worth it in my opinion and it can be applied to weight loss or to your life as a whole

If you really don't have much time here is a brief summary:



Rule 1: There are no more zero days. Every day you must take at least one action towards achieving your goals or making yourself a better person.

Rule 2: Be grateful to the “three you’s”: Past ‘you’, present ‘you’, and future ‘you’. Thank the past ‘you’ for the positive things it has done. Do favors for the future you.

Rule 3: Forgive Yourself. Forgive your past self for not taking action. Move on. Make the best of today so your future self may benefit.

Rule 4: Exercise and Learn. Workout so you may feel better, look better, and become a better person. Read biographies, educational books, and non-fiction. Every problem, thought, experience, and feeling you’ve had has been solved or experienced by someone else. Learn from them.


I just love it so much.
No more zero days for me, not ever. Even if it's just taking a 20 minute walk or choosing apple and a yoghurt over a cookie I am going to be making AT LEAST one great decision that the future me will thank me for :D

    I like Rule 1 because I think it also implies that just because a day isn't a 100 day, it can still be a step in the right direction. Success isn't about perfectionism, it's about taking the opportunity to make good choices and feeling good about that.

    Exactly!
    So you didn't workout for 45+ minutes at high intensity? Or eat 100% clean? So what! If you did something/anything towards your goal of fitness/health then you didn't have a 0 day. Which is great. And you can be proud of yourself! That's allowed. Positivity is where it's at.

    Plus you will never regret having a non-zero day! :D
