In today's society, the word weight loss automatically means you are restricting calories, counting macros and swearing off junk food. I totally get it, I used to believe that too.

It's so easily to consume information and then keep it moving. It's also easy to assume that your friends and family are doing great just because they haven't called or texted with any complaints.
