Can't commit to a full workout regime or highly restrictive diet? You don't need to.

Health and wellness come not from a magic pill, diet, or program, but from gradually transforming your current lifestyle into a healthy one, day by day.

Tip #53: Don't tempt yourself!

I am not going to pretend that I have super will power, or that I am a health nut who never eats fat, sweets, or fried foods, because I'm not.  I'm just not that strong.  And that is exactly why I must recognize my weaknesses, and then be proactive about not putting those weaknesses in my path.  If I kept Doritos, Coke, and Oreos in my house, I'd probably eat them!  But the fact is, I don't; therefore I don't eat those things.  It's really quite a very simple concept.

If you keep a bunch of junk and processed foods in your home you'll probably eat them!  Stop setting yourself up for failure, and replace your "junk" with healthier foods that you can feel good about.  Instead of having indulgent foods as part of your regular diet, only buy one or two of your favorites.  There's nothing wrong with having a treat now and then, but let your treat truly be a treat, and not the norm.
