Did I do everything I could to become the healthy person that I deserve to be? What can I do better tomorrow?” Ask yourself these questions every night and be honest with yourself. Write down your answers in your journal and read them in the morning to remind yourself what you have to do better that day. If you are serious, do this it will help tremendously. Hold yourself accountable.
