Kudos to Carol Mithers for her determination and (mostly) discipline for sticking to the "perfect" regimen. I couldn't do it!
My eating regimen is pretty good, although "deprivation" is not part of my culinary vocabulary. Because I have lupus, an autoimmune deficiency for which sun exposure is a trigger, I must use skin care products containing at least 15 SPF. Exercise, well, my license plate cover even says that I'm a marathoner, lol! Chronic insomnia and forgetting to take my daily supplements, however, contribute to my far less than perfect regimen, as well as a passion for food and wine (my newest magnet states that I'll run for wine, and I am on a sommelier training path).
Yes, Alison is quite right that changing a behavior or lifestyle is difficult. I think the saying goes that it takes repeating a behavior 28 days in a row to make a habit. 6 months to make it a lifestyle, eh? I believe that!
Now, if we could just make living the "perfect" life more fun...
