When will it start showing?

On Wednesday, I told Wahaj about having done 100 push ups. And you see, Wahaj has a way of being very simply, and very honest, and say huge things while being it. And he asked, when will it start showing? And that was a thought provoking moment for me. I said well, for it to start to show, I need to lose fat, and for me to lose fat, I need to eat in moderation. And since I had (at that time) no plans of fixing my eating habits, I said it's not showing anytime soon.

But it was enough to set the wheels rolling.

Now the world is full of all sorts of workouts and diets. And now I am not a sage or anything, but fads are so foolish. And everything, no matter how beautiful, loses it's value when it's turned into fad. Even things like writing, marrying, worshiping, studying, charity. It just loses its spirit. And most of these workouts and diets, regardless of how effective they are, are indeed a result of a fad. And do what do fads do, apart from being value-lessening? They end. They last only for a season.

The best workout in the world is that which you can do every day.

And likewise, the best 'diet' is those small changes that you aren't afraid to live with, for the rest of your life, those eating habits that you gradually grow in to, that become a part of who you are. Not some diet plan that you go on. 

So when the wheels of my brain start to roll, I started to think, well, what are these changes that I can do to my eating habits, that are so small, that they aren't uncomfortable, so my body and mind wouldn't just want to get done with them? And among the many things that come to mind, there's really only one that came to mind. And That is, to eat one morsel less in every meal for one month.
