Weight Management

Weight- Once you start having babies and raising a family, it can be hard to keep good eating habits. In this section I'll share how to lose weight and keep it off, while eating very well. I love good food, and I know how stay at a healthy weight, so I hope this section will be helpful and encouraging if you need these ideas.

Note: When I use the word "thin," I am talking about a healthy weight. I'm not suggesting that anyone needs to look like a model-- just that it's important to maintain a healthy, appropriate weight for your height.

In this series of articles, I'll share the things that thin people know and do, and I'll share why it's so important to change your mind in order to change your life. There is a verse in scripture, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7), and that is true. Your thoughts are amazingly powerful and it takes focus and effort to change them. It's worth it, though, because accurate, honest thinking will change your life for the better.

"Sow a thought and you reap an action;
sow an act and you reap a habit;
sow a habit and you reap a character;
sow a character and you reap a destiny."

Attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson
