When you truly see yourself as a healthy person, your habits will reflect this. You’ll choose the side salad over fries without even having to think about it.

This takes time, but there’s a lot we can do to speed up the process and set ourselves up for success.

I used to have a rule that I wouldn’t pay money for any foods that were unhealthy. So if a friend offered me a treat, or if there were cookies at an event, that’s all ok. But I didn’t buy processed or sugary foods, and I surely never kept any in my house.
