If you have everything under control, you’re not moving fast enough.

Do what makes you happy.
Do what makes you feel alive.

I have always been asked, "How long will you keep up this lifestyle of eating healthy, waking up early, and being strict with your diet?" My answer has always been the same: forever. I have even ended relationships because of this commitment, I have had to miss out on family reunions, gatherings, and birthdays in order to stay true to my commitment to health and fitness. Although this lifestyle was not as widely accepted as it is today, I never regretted my decision and knew that I was doing the right thing. Now, people are beginning to understand and respect those who are dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle. I don't like to use the word "strict" because I'm not restricting myself from doing the things I love. I wrote this for anyone who may be in the same situation I was in years ago. No matter what anyone else says, stay true to yourself and your goals. Don't let anyone discourage you from living the life you want. Believe in yourself and keep going!
