\u201cStressed spelled backwards is desserts.\u00a0 Coincidence?\u00a0 I think not!\u00a0\u201c ~Author Unknown<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you are stressed, work out! It is a proven method of relieving stress because physical activity releases endorphins (neurotransmitters that make you feel good) in your brain. In addition, you\u2019ll be happy you chose to work your shoes and not your fork.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books – how not to eat what you’ve just learned how to cook.\u201d\u00a0 ~Andy Rooney<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFood is like sex:\u00a0 when you abstain, even the worst stuff begins to look good.\u201d ~Beth McCollister<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t diet. I just don’t eat as much as I’d like to.”\u2028\u2028– Linda Evangelista<\/em>, Supermodel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s not pretend that great recipes that won\u2019t add pounds aren’t falling from the sky. There are hundreds of books and websites to choose from. We offer options of our own like these recipes<\/a> or The Everything Flat Belly Cookbook: 300 Quick and Easy Recipes to help drop the belly fat and tone your abs, by Fitz Koehler.<\/a> You don\u2019t have to abstain from great-tasting food.

\u201cPeople say that losing weight is no walk in the park.\u00a0 When I hear that I think, yeah, that’s the problem.\u201d ~Chris Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Losing weight isn\u2019t always easy, but a walk is … and it can help you to lose weight. You can even include your family and pets. A walk in the park is more engaging physically and socially than movie night and it will instill good habits in your family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappiness lies, first of all, in health.\u201d \u2013George William Curtis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happiness<\/a> can come from many sources, but being healthy is always going to be a strong source of joy. If\u00a0 you know that you are healthy, you will be more confident about your own abilities and you won\u2019t worry as much about how others see you. Plus, you\u2019ll have peace of mind knowing that you are doing everything you can to live a long life and experience all the happy moments that come along for you and your family.<\/p>\n

“The second day of a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day you’re off it.”\u2028– Jackie Gleason<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, no, no\u2026 The second day is easier because you\u2019ve already made the choice to start, all you have to do is stick with the plan and follow through.<\/p>\n

\u201cEating smart is all about having an awareness of your body. The most obvious way to do that is by seeing it. So when you\u2019re trying to lose weight, spend more time wearing less. I don\u2019t think I could eat a plate of nachos naked \u2013 could you?\u201d – Marissa Miller, Model<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marissa brings up a good point. If you’re trying to not only live healthy but get your body in great shape, spend time looking at your body.\u00a0 Running may burn calories but you may also need to target your abs with specific workouts to get rid of that belly fat; same with your thighs<\/a> or butt. Look at yourself in the mirror without clothes then formulate a plan to target the areas you want to see extra improvement for.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not a diet, it\u2019s a way of life that teaches you better skills. For years, I felt like I could never have ice cream, but now I can eat ice cream occasionally!” – <\/strong>Jennifer Hudson<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly. The phrase,\u00a0 \u201cGoing on a diet\u201d has the connotation of being a temporary or sudden change in the way you eat in order to look\/feel a certain way. Instead, \u201clive with a better diet.\u201d If you want to see change, change your perspective of how you live. Living with healthy eating habits doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t eat cake<\/a><\/span>, ice cream, or cookies; there are plenty of low-fat\/carb\/sugar options out there that taste great. Just make the decision to enjoy them in moderation!<\/p>\n
