Fallon Wren used to love New Year’s resolutions. She’d fill notebooks with goals, stack her fridge with greens, and swear this would be the year everything changed. “By February, I’d be burnt out, tired, and craving fries,” she laughs.
Fallon isn’t anti-resolution now—but she is realistic. After years of cycling through rigid health plans and fizzling motivation, she realized lasting change doesn’t come from willpower alone. It comes from making small shifts that actually fit your life.
Instead of overhauling everything, Fallon started focusing on one habit at a time. She began by drinking a full glass of water every morning. Then she made her breakfasts more balanced. She kept moving, but ditched intense workouts in favor of morning walks she genuinely enjoyed.
“Consistency doesn’t mean perfection,” Fallon says. “It means doing something so manageable, you can’t talk yourself out of it.”
She also learned to reframe failure. “Missing a workout or eating a cookie isn’t falling off the wagon. It’s just being human.” That shift in mindset kept her from spiraling and helped her reset quickly.
Now, Fallon’s healthy lifestyle doesn’t feel like a January push. It’s just how she lives. “It’s not about starting strong,” she says. “It’s about sticking around after the hype dies down.”
