He said,"I'm a huge procrastinator, I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didn't get to do it until the summer." However , Augustin got inspired when he saw his older brother working out. Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds. “Of cour, change can happen only if people don't t their expectations too high or try to tackle too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is tting unrealistic goals, ”said Dalia Llera, a psychologist and associate professor of counling and psychology at Lesley University.
