Today’s Challenge: Don’t go on a #diet, instead, eat a little less and move a little more.

A month ago, during my yearly physical, I discovered that I had gained five pounds. I knew my clothes were a little tighter, but I didn’t realize I had gained that much. Though surprised, I didn’t panic. And I didn’t make the terrible decision to go on a diet. Instead, I simply took my own advice and easily started to drop the extra few pounds. It’s been a month and I’ve lost three pounds–I still have two to go. I like the calm, easy approach to dropping weight: Liking myself as I am, not making drastic changes in my diet or starving myself, eating everything I love (but less of it), and moving a little more. I’ll keep you posted… and if you’re interested in learning more about my short easy booklet on staying, or getting, thin you can check it out here.
