How to Get Unstuck: Help the Right Habits Stick

摘要

As veterinarians, we're already high achievers. We checked all the boxes to get through school. We don't like to give less than our best. We're problemsolvers. We help animals feel better, and if we can't, there better be a dang good reason.It's no wonder we punish the heck out of ourselves when we can't seem to fix our own behavior.I've said things like these, and I'm betting I'm not alone. "I was so bad this weekend. So much for my diet." "I joined the gym and haven't gone once. I suck."Our culture teaches us to think in black and white where food and exercise are concerned. From TV to magazine covers to Instagram, we're told we're "good" if we behave one way and "bad" if we fall into other patterns.
