When it comes to living a healthy life, you have to remember
that you’re end goal is not to look like a Victoria’s Secret model. Those
expectations are very high for women, and if you set a goal to look like that,
it will be very hard to achieve those goals, especially because they are unrealistic
and usually altered with Photoshop.
When it comes to living a healthy life, it should not be
about your waist measurements, or the number on the scale; it should be about
you and how you feel. Sure, tons of girls are naturally tall and slim with fast
metabolisms – but does that mean they are fit and in shape? No, some of them
eat very poorly and if they were being chased, chances are they couldn’t out
run them.
Basically what I’m trying to say is, looks are not
everything. And the number on the scale does NOT define you because it is not
accurate. Fat ways more than muscle, so if you have been working out and eating
clean, but noticed you gained weight, it just means you’ve gotten stronger, and
you should take that ascend in a number as a good thing.
But a lot of people don’t think this way. They have this
perfect ideal body set in their mind that they want to achieve, causing them to
work hard aiming for this end goal. But with a healthy life style, there is no
end goal, it’s your life. That’s why I don’t like “diets” because they imply
temporary progress. Same with “end goal bodies”. You shouldn’t strive towards
the finish line – you should strive to feel good for your entire life.
So forget about that perfect image, and don’t let the number
on the scale change your attitude. Keep working hard for what you want to
achieve, and if that is a happy life style where you eat clean, exercise, feel
good on the inside AND the outside, then you my friend, have achieved a healthy
life.
