While dieting, I find myself paying closer attention to my body condition than before.

In the past, I only checked how much weight I had lost, but these days, I find myself checking whether I slept properly and whether I skipped meals as well.

Even on days when the numbers don't drop as much as I'd hoped, I try not to be too disappointed if my body feels lighter and my clothes feel more comfortable.

Especially now that I’ve gotten a bit older, I feel that losing weight by simply starving myself is difficult to maintain for long and puts a strain on my body.

Ultimately, I think the most realistic approach is to establish a lifestyle habit that you can maintain consistently.
