It is Time to Change your Lifestyle

 Do you eat to live or live to eat? To truly change your body, a lifestyle change must be made. And, unfortunately for most, it starts with food choices.  I know what you are thinking, not another diet.  I totally agree!! Diets won't get you anywhere but on another diet again.  In order to see real results start by simply taking out all foods with sugar. Now I say 'simply' but this will probably be the hardest first step you have ever taken.  Reward yourself with a desert of your choice once a week - that's right "ONCE A WEEK".  This means every form of sugar, excluding fruits and veggies.  I promise it will be worth it!

What better way to compliment a lifestyle eating makeover, by challenging self to an extreme sport.  Do something you thought you would never do before. This provides a sense of accomplishment and will keep your focus on fun things you are doing, as opposed to sweet foods you may be missing.  I recommend bungy jumping, skydiving, rock climbing, para-sailing, skiing, and/or white water rafting. HAVE FUN!

Fashion is always a phenomenal way to make a change, but a lifestyle change? If wanting to simply spruce up one's day-to-day look, that works. However, change, by pure definition, requires a variation from what is current. For true dramatics, challenge yourself to switch out your entire look. For instance, if you are typically dress classic like a 'lady', or try being eccentric with the looks of a 'rocker'.

  1. The concept of being an adult is just like the concept of being normal--societal pressure to conform to a standard that no one can exactly define--which is why I find the idea that people will "outgrow YA in time" so laughable.
