I love the idea of building a new identity. What allowed me to quit smoking for good (eons ago now) was when I decided to answer the question “do you have a smoke?” with “I don’t smoke” instead of “sorry, no”. The first time I said it to a stranger, I felt something shift. And that was that. I didn’t smoke again.
I like the satisfaction of a streak and also adding (add veggie, eat more colors of veggies) than lots of limits. It’s an add to your point about deprivation not being sustainable.

Love that I have a neighbor/friend that I can go to the gym with once a week. She even picks me up!
Love this and tracking the small inputs I’m doing regardless of outputs so I can see progress in effort
Thanks for this reminder that a little step in the right direction daily is better than none !
