She made it sound easy to start and keep those habits. But I know it's not and more fall to the wayside than stick.

Could have been a magazine article. And I found myself getting more and more irritated with Gretchen.

I wonder if anyone but an upholder could write such a book. Sorry for being snarky because it sounds like she has some good info in there and that you got benefits from it.
