Eating fries and coke from Mickey D’s every now and then won’t kill you, but if you do that every single day you can be sure that eventually it will catch up to you. Every little choice you make every day ads up in big ways, for better or for worse over time; this is called the slight edge philosophy.
I was very surprised to learn from Paul McKenna that thin people take 2000 more steps a day than those who are overweight. 2000 steps that’s not a whole lot more, but over time it adds up in big ways.
My brother-in-low Patrick also introduced this to me via the slight edge philosophy. Big changes usually don’t happen over night, instead it is small actions and small decisions repeated day in and day out that bring big results. Patrick for example has a goal to release 100 pounds in a 16 week body challenge. And it is the choices that he makes on a daily basis is what is going to help him reach this goal, and those will have to be different choices than the ones he’s used to making.
Awereness is the first step as they say. Be aware of the choices you make and what they are producing for you.
All the best,
Egle
