The best advice anyone ever gave me

I wanted to share something i heard here on mfp once that has really worked to raise my morale and even that of my friends and family who struggle to keep healthy...

If someone who is morbidly obese, eating junk every day of his life, decides to eat kale for a day, is he healthy? The same goes for someone who is good most of the time, every now and again we faulter but we need to take it in stride and eat in good health because it's part of being human.

    That makes sense. You didn't put all the weight on in one day, so you won't lose it all in one day either. Weight loss is a journey and not just a destination.:flowerforyou:
