Principal #10: Honor your healthMake foods choices that honor your health and that leave you satisfied. It's alright to not eat perfect all the time, truthfully who honestly can. Learn how to find your own personal balance, don't completely deprive your body of the things it loves (if there is no medical reason for it). Indulge in your cravings every once in awhile. Allowing yourself the freedom to break the rules periodically will not completely destroy your weight loss goals. It is when you break the rules on a regular bases that you are going to run into problems.
You also need to love your body enough to provide what's best for it. Make exercise something you enjoy instead of a chore that you have to do. Exercise has many amazing health benefits, and should be included in your weekly routine. Make time for exercise as you do for any other part of your day. When people get busy, their workout is usually the first thing that they get rid of, instead try to still find time for a workout even if it is just a few minutes. Those few minutes of exercise can help to dampen the stresses that you are facing and give you a healthier out look on what else lies ahead.
No one says that you have to be perfect to achieve your goals, but learn what works for your body. Once you honor your health, everything else will come naturally.
Pura Vida!
