According to Trish, me making a change is like flipping a switch. As Trish describes it, “One day you announce you are going to do something and then you just do it every day. I have never seen anyone else do that and stick with it.”

Do I really find it so easy to change and how could that be? Precision Nutrition taught us that to make a change you need three elements – desire, willingness and ability.

On a scale of 1 to 10, you need to rate yourself 8 or higher on desire and willingness or you are not likely to follow through. If your ability is too low at the start, the other elements might be strong enough for you to find the information you need or hire a coach.

So what is the key to my Chameleon nature? We haven’t figured it out yet, but our theory is that maybe I only tell Trish about the changes that I am serious about making. Maybe when my desire or willingness to change is low, I don’t mention it.

How long does it take you to make a change? If you struggle to change, which of the elements is holding you back?
