Small Steps to Great Things.

All my life I have been battling my weight.  Right now I weigh the most I have ever weighed (except while pregnant).  My BMI is too high.  My blood pressure is borderline.  I do not have any energy.  There are many aspects of my lifestyle that need to change.  

I am going to start by changing a few things every week.  This week I commit to:
-Eating fruits and/or veggies with every meal (including snacks)
-Slowing down my eating.  A full meal should take 20 minutes to eat.
-Walking 30 minutes a day, 5 days this week.  

Next week I will add to this.  If I want to loose weight it needs to be a long term commitment, not some quick fix that does not teach me how to keep it off.

  1. Hey Kyphanie, I want to join you in the fight of losing weight so I will also commit to walking 30 mins 5 days this week at least 1/2 a mile each time, and slowing my eating down to 20 min each meal. I also will eat at least three meals and not just one big one at night (knowing that this is not a good thing). This is Ann Laverty.

  2. Hi Ann! I am happy to hear that you are making changes, too. Quick tip: set a timer when you sit down for a meal. I find it helpful.
