This is an important book for the many dieters who don't know how they became so unhealthy, because the focus is on adding one healthy habit at a time. A few simple recipes incorporating more whole grains, yogurt, and vegetables are included, all with five or less ingredients. After I had three children, I thought it was all downhill for me and I became comfortable with my newfound weight. I didn't see myself as being obese;; rather, it was just me and who I had become. In reality, I was being selfish because although I was complacent, I wasn't happy. I was threatening the health of my children's mother and my husband's wife, all the people who depended on me to be here and healthy. When I started to eat healthier foods, I began to recognize a pattern that was being formed. Once I added exercise, the results began to accelerate. Along this journey, you must remember that you don't have to accomplish it all at once. You must allow yourself some flexibility and not beat yourself up for falling short at times as we all do. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. You can't eat an elephant (no pun intended) in one bite - you've heard all the sayings, but they are true. This only works when you find your balance and know that moderation is a key component of this journey. Small changes are attainable and lead to larger changes. You must remember to reward yourself along the way. Stop telling yourself what you can't have, because that's exactly when you'll want that thing. Instead, tell yourself what you're going to do and what you're going to have. It's not just about the healthy eating or the exercise. It'sabout setting goals and achieving them, making promises and keeping them, and living the life you desire in the body you choose.
