Is It a Lifestyle?

This is typically the time of year where I begin to loosen up the reins on my "diet" and enjoy the fruits of my winter labor.  This year; however, I have decided to take a different approach.  In an effort to finally fully commit to the lifestyle that I have been touting for years now, I have decided to begin a detox.

A New Approach

I have often found myself at a fork in the road when it comes to food.  Since I can remember food has been a constant part of my daily thought pattern.  If I am not eating, I am mentally prepping for my next meal or snack.  Over the last few years I have come to realize that it has become a mild obsession.  This obsession has led me to try calorie counting and several other means of portion control.  At times this has been a very debasing experience and I have had lows that have led me to believe I would not find a solution.
