• If you are trying to achieve something meaningful in life, there is no short cut around it. You have to be consistent – day in, day out.
• Professional marathoners runs hundreds of kilometers a week, academicians spends countless hours researching. Musicians spends their waking hour perfecting their skills with their instrument of choice.
• Despite this, at one point, your regular activity becomes a chore and boring.
• For example, I am currently trying to eat healthy by way of fasting twice a week (15-20 hours per day without food or water).
• I noticed that I feel different – my tummy feel tighter, I don’t crave junk food as much as before.

• But the past 3 days I have been eating more than usual. Its not that I am hungry, just the craving + habit of eating/snacking even though my tummy is saying “Hey, I’m not hungry”.
• Felt frustrated at times, but I kept telling myself – this is what being human is.
• There are ups and downs. There are days where we want to stop doing the hard thing and get back to the not so positive routine. Sofa, soda and binge TV doesn’t sound bad, does it?
• What do I do? You can either fight it and soldier on. Or, cut yourself some slack, and just stick to the system.
• I chose the latter – to not be too hard on myself, enjoy the life God has given me (within moderation) and most importantly, look up and move forward.

Until then, stay hungry, stay sane.
