[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry meant to include this quote from her article:

“Because of this, here’s what I think determines a healthy weight, taking into account both genetics and environment: It’s one you maintain effortlessly with healthful, non-restrictive, adequate and flexible food patterns combined with sane amounts of physical activity. It’s a weight where you are free of food and exercise preoccupation and can live life without having to plan around those things.”[/quote]

With the huge disclaimer that anyone can do whatever they want and I don't really care and try not to judge, the word effortlessly takes it too far for me. I know what effortless looks like for myself and it isn't pretty. And it does take effort to get up an hour early to work out each morning or to decline thirds of a terrific meal. For myself, it is still worth it.[/quote]

I agree with you. We live in an obesegenic environment, and for many of us, it will take effort. but there’s no easy answers, because food restrictions also can backfire and result in weight loss. I think the key is to find sustainable effort, and also to learn about your body and eating patterns to understand which habits lead to weight gain. for me, it’s nightly alcohol and snacking after dinner. Not that hard to focus on. Another trigger is getting back to my normal healthy eating patterns after the holidays. I’m learning that while I can enjoy holiday blow-out meals without weight gain, the problem is how that excess spills over into the next day/week. [/quote]
