Ditch the shame and embrace progress: How small steps lead to big health gains #shorts

Losing weight can be a challenge, especially if you're in your forties or fifties. And it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to overhaul your entire diet all at once. But when it inevitably becomes too difficult to maintain, we end up feeling defeated and ashamed.

As doctors, we strive for perfection and often hold ourselves to impossible standards. But the truth is, there's no wagon to fall off of. It's okay to start small and focus on one aspect of your diet that you can improve upon. By taking it one step at a time and building on your successes, you can create a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

So let go of that feeling of shame and embrace the fact that progress is progress, no matter how small. Start with one thing and watch as little by little, you create a healthier you. #HealthyHabits #OneStepAtATime #ProgressNotPerfection #SelfAcceptance
