#010 - Hi, Mary here! Why don't we always do what's best for ourselves? Because there are temptations around every corner and our primitive brains are programmed to seek what's easiest (what takes the least amount of exertion) and what contains the most amount of energy (ie, the most calories). That makes the 3-mile run so hard to start and the cheesy pizza so hard to resist.And, change doesn't happen overnight. It takes a long time to make a lasting change. Some people need to draw a strict line and not cross it, while others need to take their sweet time or else change will be too restrictive.
