Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I am feeling much better today! I started off my Monday with a training session at the gym.
Felt good to get back to moving my body!
I have been reading a new book called Suddenly Skinny by Freya Taylor.
I am not finished with it yet, but I am really enjoying the book. Now I will forewarn you that she tells it like it is, there is no sugar coating at all. But this quote really stood out to me as I was reading.
How true is this? We start a "diet" with an end goal in sight (and I'm not saying anything is wrong with having a goal). But what happens when we reach that goal? Is the diet over? Do we just go back to the same way we were eating before? To me the word diet is a negative word. It sounds like deprivation, something that I will only do for a short time, and it brings up a lot of negative feelings in me. I always see this quote:
I was doing some web surfing for a list of all the different "diets" out there. And here is a link to one I found very interesting.
If you have time, read through some of them. I am not saying one way is the only way. I have long promoted that we all need to find what works for us. But I think we need to stop looking at our program of choice as a diet and make sure that we are doing something that we can maintain for a lifetime.
There is no expiration date on my healthy eating and moving my body. There will not be a date that it is over. I will always be a food addict, I will always battle cravings, I will always have to watch my food intake. The way I am living today is a sustainable way of life that I can see myself living for the rest of my days here on Earth.
So when will it be over? NEVER!
Sending you all love and healthy wishes!
Keep Losing,
Kari
