It's never too late.
Sometimes, people come to the site all guns blazing, throwing themselves in head first and being full of motivation and enthusiasm, but the changes are too big and all encompassing, and it can be overwhelming. You didn't go away though, you backed off and then came back fighting again.
A diary is a good way of tracking the progress you make from smaller, sustainable changes to your way of life. The things that don't make an immediate or dramatic difference, but when you look back in the months to come, you can see the cumulative effect.
I love your signature. If you keep trying every day, it doesn't matter if the steps are tiny, because you will make it to your goal eventually.I'm a Money and Debt Adviser for a homelessness and housing charity in Scotland.
