Welcome to the very first post at Lighter Living. I am delighted that you could make it.

Lighter Living is a blog about losing weight, and gaining lightness. And this is not just a play of words. These two journeys are intimately connected. If you have had trouble with weight, you know just how depressingly ‘heavy‘ it feels in the heart, and conversely, how wonderfully ‘light’ it feels to shed a few kilos.

Eating right and being active are difficult things to do for most people, especially when we are down in the dumps. It is increasingly becoming apparent that our psychology; our thoughts and emotions come up frustratingly triumphant each time they battle with our latest diet or fledgling exercise schedule.

As I finished with medical school, and studied psychology and yoga, I came to realise that wonderful possibilities arise from integrating these systems of healing. Lighter Living is my attempt to explore body, mind, heart and soul to discover inspiration, motivation and lightness.

This blog is meant to be more than a personal diary. I will review books, invite guest bloggers, collate information about alternative health, and share tools and downloads with my readers. I am writing for anyone who might find this helpful on their own journey.
