Think Thin Thursday Tip: If, for example, you’re drinking soda 7 days a week and want to cut it out, remember that there’s a huge difference between drinking it every day and never drinking. For many people, it’s too hard to go from all to none. Instead, start small. Go from 7 days to 5 or 6. Do that for a week or two, and slowly cut down from there. Eventually you’ll get to where you want to be, but you’ll do it in a more reasonable and manageable way.
