"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. " ~~~ The Notebook~~~

Babysteps or Radical Tranformation

I need to be healthier. It's that simple. Period. I am currently the least healthy I have ever been in my life and I don't even have a good excuse. Oh, I have lots of excuses, but none of them are good ones!

In the past, when trying to make a lifestyle change, I have taken the typical advice to make small babysteps, changing a few simple things at a time. The idea being that implementing one or two changes is achievable, won't overwhelm, and can be maintained long term.

Given my lack of results with the above approach, I'm thinking of doing precisely the opposite...radical lifestyle transformation. What if I changed everything all at once? Rather than small, incremental changes, would it work to radically change my current lifestyle and start living a "healthy person's lifestyle"? I don't see that this could be harmful.

What does this healthful living look like? When should I begin? What if I fail? All things to think about. For now, I'm contemplating my approach...

Babysteps or Radical Transformation???
