Living a healthy lifestyle is not easy. We know. We’ve been there ourselves. In fact, it’s a constant struggle choosing between instant gratification (CAKE!!!) or something that’s good for you in the long run (like a long run). Some days, it can be incredibly difficult to just lift your butt off the couch and go for a jog at the park. Other days, you might just feel like throwing in the towel and over-binge on an extra large bowl of curry laksa (with fried wontons on the side).
But those days just mean you’re human. And you should embrace that, and try again. Here are some super-motivating healthy living quotes to get you back (or keep you) on track:
