Every time I drastically attempt to lose weight, it never last. I set unrealistic exercise and weight loss goals to accomplish what I think I can in a small amount of time. Sometimes we forget that exercise should be a daily habit for our overall health and fitness. Habits that are formed gradually tend to stick, besides, that is how we learned how to brush our teeth or tie our shoes. All of the behaviors we formed as children took time, practice and years to develop. Why is it that in our adult years, we feel rushed to achieve more in short time periods? What are we in a rush for? I am interested in learning the concept of kaizen and how to apply it to new and healthy habits. This sounds like the direction that I am seeking. @ Sally, your take on how you feel physically about yourself and the need to change is exactly what I am experiencing.

I would like to shed at least 10kgs. I liked the thought of taking it slowly. So I will try to walk each day, even if just for 5 minutes as a start, and then building it up in increments. I have thought of parking my car at a certain distance from work each day, and then increasing the distance in small increments that would seem manageable. I think it is so true that our brains cannot handle a lot of change at once and easily give up trying if it feels overwhelming. So I am going to be kind to myself and just expect a SMALL change at first. Thanks for your positive and constructive help! Hi Mary

Being fit feels great, but so does lazing around all day putting on weight. I agree with the gradual change concept thing because it works for me. We humans are creatures of habit, we don't like sudden changes. We are more likly to adapt to something new if we gradually change our ways. <abbr><em>Roberts last blog post..<a href="http://chaptalk.com/the-tie-the-little-item-of-clothing-that-has-a-big-impact/" rel="nofollow">The Tie - The Little Item of Clothing That Has a Big Impact</a></abbr></em> As I see it there are two pleasuarble thngs fighting against each other.

I'm not completely car-free (I can beg the loan of Darling Wifey's wheels when I absolutely have to drive), but it's not the norm for me anymore.

People talk about establishing and exercise habit, I dont know... it is always a conscious choice for me. Even when I've gotten to the point of enjoying regular workouts, I dont know that it is ever something that is a habit. Others experience?
