Have you noticed too that on Pinterest people are obsessed with saving money? “Living on a Budget” seems to capture the headlines for the majority of my Pinterest thread.
Maybe you don’t follow those boards… what about the overwhelming obsession with “counting calories” or “how to lose weight”? Do you see those everywhere too?

Well I got this crazy idea about combining the two obsessions. And out came a Calorie Budget; a whole new way of looking at losing weight.

Sometimes the key to success is simply changing the way you look at something. Changing your perspective. If you alter the way you view “dieting” you will be way more successful. Instead of “I can’t eat the things I want” or “I’m restricted”, think of it as:
- eating healthy
- living longer
- having more energy
- feeling comfortable in your clothes
- not being as tired
Once you have idenfified your income, expenses you can then identify how you want to “save” your money or calories. If you want to know how to guarantee weight loss, you need to have a daily deficiency of 500 calories.
So! Your challenge?
Think of your calorie budget like you think of your financial budget.
