The diet that is right for you.

Diet and lifestyle are very personal. 

While we hear everyday of the next best thing the diet that will help you lose weight and become "healthy" the truth is it doesn't exist.

While there are many ways to lose weight and to improve your health there is not one way. 
I have been down the path of the next best thing, I have taken on diets and become a believer. I have touted that following a certain plan where I lost weight is the best diet on the planet. What I realize now is that there is no one size fits all and while I do not follow a diet I have found some freedom in the wisdom of Whole30. It has helped me in so many ways, but not in weight loss. I currently weigh the same as when I was not doing Whole30. I am however feeling pretty good at maintaining my weight without one thought of dieting. I have discovered health in a different way. 

This leads me to my new found freedom. I don't really care what "diet" you are doing. I don't really care why you "can't have" a certain food. In that I will not bore you with reasons I order my burger without a bun and then eat dessert. I will not give you a dissertation on why I'm not drinking alcohol on our girls night out. I know not everything works for everybody and for you it may be a new diet each week but don't feel like you every have to justify with me your choices. I hope you find what works for you to get to where you are comfortable.

I do not expect if you are overweight that you will be starting a diet on Monday, or that you are going to get back to the gym. I do not want to hear how you wish you could eat dessert but you have been so "good" today. I hope you find what works for you but never feel like you have to explain it to me.

If you want to change your lifestyle....do it! If you need support I'm here. Do it for you, not because you feel you have to, do what works for you, not what someone else convinced you to do.
