Progress not perfection

[Ebony Rose 133]

During my pyshratric appointment today we discussed ago the little changes I've made over the past month. My doctor and hubby point out to me that it's the small changes that will lead to bigger changes. Sometimes I get discouraged and get in a negative mindset.

So I thought I'd jump on here and share and I'd love to hear from others how little changes have helped.

6 weeks ago I was demand breastfeeding my now 6.5month old and I've been able to reduce that down to 1 breastfeed after her bath. This was a goal for me.

I no longer eat chocolate and chips like crazy, I've switched to eating 60%-80% chocolates (one piece and I'm done). 4 weeks ago I was always buying chips and choc whenever I went to the shops and in large amounts.

I've increased my step while walking. Is walk slow and really small steps, when I increased my stride my foot and leg muscles felt it.

Please share your progress ????

I had my surgery yet but I appreciate and love your post. It's definitely something I'm going to have to work on

I was self-pay and did not have a pre-op plan, so all the changes I made were immediate once I had the surgery. While my appetite is gone and my tummy is tiny, I still have trouble mentally adjusting to the changes. I think it's great that you have the opportunity to make small changes early on so that you will be in that mindset when the time comes. Keep up the good work!

Gradual change is definitely better on you mentally! Good for you for looking forward. Keep up the great work.
