On the homepage, I’ve talked a little about all the quick-fix solutions advertisers offer us during January. It’s easy to hope whichever one we haven’t already tried will magically succeed. Really, none of them do without work and discipline. If you’re on a plan that supplies your food, you have to stick to that and not eat other things except as the plan allows–as with any food plan. If you’re on one where you prepare your own food, you have to avoid the temptation to just eat what everyone else is, or you have to talk your family into being supportive, which is something many women appear reluctant to do.
If it’s a financial plan, it won’t work if you deviate from it. If you’re supposed to put a certain amount of money into the plan every payday and you start finding excuses not to do it, or something keeps coming up, as things are wont to do, success moves farther and farther out of reach.
We all know that. Yet every year, lots and lots of people subscribe to quick fixes. Why do you think that happens?

Why do people subscribe to quick fixes? Because long fixes take too long! Seriously, sometimes it just feels like it takes forever. What those people forget is that good things take time.
