My weight loss/weight control is 10% physical 80% mental and 10% spiritual.

It's all about working through those periods where my mind is telling me to give into a craving and binge on some unhealthy foods! Or working through the times when my mind is telling me that its okay if I eat way over my calorie range today. Mental, for sure!

My weight loss, weight control or body fat percentage is 10% physical 70% mental and 20% spiritual.

I'm at my best when all three are in tune. It means I'm losing weight in a healthy way and nurturing my body and mind.

I think it varies, depending on the day and/or circumstances.

At times it has to be 100% spiritual, because without that strength, the rest will fall apart, based on my recent circumstances.

But, I don't focus on percentages; I just try to continue as evenly as possible.

Walking in the spirit so I don't carry out the desires of the flesh.
