It really is different for each individual, you gotta find what works for you, but there are some basics that really help get you started and keep you on track. I don't do all of the habits listed but I do quite a few, exercise and clean(er) eating being the main things for me.
It's a learning process that's for sure. It took me a while to go from over exercising and eating like an anorexic to lose the weight (over 40lbs, and I maintained it the same way for years afterward) to a healthier, more balanced approach.
Eating well really does make all the difference for me. I'm much happier and healthier now than when I was starving myself. And the thing is you really do not have to do that. It's all about getting good nutrition so you'll feel good and have the energy TO work out.
Anyway, thanks for the rec, I'm glad you liked it, Peggy.
