Consistency is doing what we have to do, even when we don't feel like doing it. That does not mean that we have to *hate* the way we do something. It does mean that we need to find ways of doing the things we know we need to do, in ways that meet our current lifestyle. It means we have to adopt systems, routines, and habits that fit the way we most enjoy living, instead of trying to do something that just does not fit the way we want to live.

To find consistency, we need to be open to trying new ways of doing things. When we find that we are having a hard time meeting a goal of establishing a routine, we need to look for new solutions. Our friend Katie (katie.vsg) is doing just that and we wanted to know what new things she is discovering along her bariatric journey about herself, her goals, and her life!

We just adore Katie and know you will too. Follow Katie on Instagram @katie.vsg to connect with her and learn from her journey!
