From the Author
One of my favorite sayings is, “When the Pain of Being the Same Becomes Greater Than the Pain of Being Different, You Change.”The good news is, we don’t have to go through pain to make small changes that can dramatically affect the way we eat and live.My motto for changing your diet is: Baby Steps. By taking Baby Steps in changing the way you lead your life, you can see dramatic results that last a lifetime. So instead of setting yourself up for failure, going through major self- deprivation of certain food groups or setting unrealistic exercise goals like hitting the gym for 3 hours a day, 7 days a week, start adding in what you need slowly. By doing that, you’ll be crowding out what you don’t need.Here’s an example: instead of saying, “NO more burgers and fries″, make a decision to cook burgers at home, increasing the quality of ingredients from a fast- food burger, and add a whole wheat bun, sweet potato fries, a salad or veggies to your meal. Ditto for the kids.Baby Steps. You can Make it Happen!–Gabrielle Welch
