That approach may or may not work. There is a fine line that is walked on the path to living a healthy life. Consistency ingrains healthy habits, while being obsessed can lead to being burned out as you experience. On the other end is the "relaxed" approach. I see no problem with it if you've formed the healthy habits and therefore naturally gravitate towards them. However, if you've (note that for this portion, you does not refer to you as a person, but people in general) only spent a relatively short time regularly exercising/eating what's good for you, then you're likely to fall back on what you've been doing most of your life, which is being unhealthy. I have personal experience with this. Before, after a vacation during which I didn't exercise, I would find it very hard to pick the momentum back up. But now that it has become ingrained, if I don't work out, I have no problem picking it back up because I want to exercise. While I tend towards consistency, I'm also flexible when things get too busy. However, this is only because I've worked at being consistent long enough. Think about what kind of habits you've had most of your life and whether that meshes with your goals, and if it's unhealthy but it's OK with you, that's fine. But if it's not OK, you might want to rethink your approach at a later time when life is a little slower. In any case, best of luck.
