I'm so excited to talk about this because I run into this situation almost every single day.
As I go through my day (playing tennis, shopping, etc.) I talk to folks wherever I go. People are always eager to speak to me about eating well, and we have a lot to share together, but what do you think almost every person does? Seriously, almost every single person I speak to does this:
The shoulders sag, the head goes down, and then they say, with voices filled with guilt and shame, "I know I need to eat better....", and then comes the litany of the aches and woes of why they have trouble not eating well.
BUT here's the amazing part! Not long into the conversation it comes out that some improvements have been made! Perhaps it's less coffee, reduced gluten, or awareness of too much sugar. A lot of people are making efforts every single day- but no one feels like a victor.
