It is really difficult to always see a your weight loss routine as a lifestyle.

I hope this doesn't apply to me only. Recently most trainers or weight loss motivators always use that terms "see it as a lifestyle not a diet " I understand it might work better if we look at it that way but to  me and I am sure most of us it is really difficult. For instance in 4 weeks I have not eaten healthy nor worked out, so how do I convince myself that it is a life style with these mishaps. Truth is weight loss and maintaining it from some of us is a daily struggle. It comes naturally for some and other it doesn't  so instead of being happy we are frustrated.

A good diet is eating what the body requires and eating as little junk as possible, sometimes I wonder what is really junk?. I love the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning, I love to eat bread and suddenly I am not allowed to eat pastries because it is said to be unhealthy so how do I cope with what I love and what I actually intend to achieve. I have heard about people who lived a blissful life who ate bread whenever they felt like and some did the same and the were at risk of cancer or other health issues. So I ask the question, what is really the balance?.

Asians live the longest yet rice is their main course meal although we cannot refute the fact that Asians are trained to be physically active taking walks, enjoying nature, drinking tea and eating herbs is that the reason they can eat rice and we can't. How do we find our balance, we need to learn what works for us as individuals because our bodies are designed differently no individual is the same even twins. discover what you can do without and begin from there.

The weight loss journey is personal and if you fall of the lifestyle wagon get on the diet band and back on the life style wagon but remember to enjoy your life while you're at it because it is all about being the healthier happier you.
