Health and Fitness Bookstore Extravaganza

Yesterday, my husband and I were at a local bookstore getting some information for his presentation next month on ADHD. While he was perusing psych books, I decided to make my way over to the health and fitness books. WOW! If I didn't know better there are a million books on diet, exercise, fitness and they all seem very educational. I was standing there thinking what if was an overweight person, overwhelmed with life but trying to make a change in one part of my life. If I had decided that losing weight was going to be it and went to this bookstore, I would be overwhelmed again. Which book is going to do the job, which diet is going to make me thin, how is this going to work; the questions that would run through my head would be never ending and I would probably walk out of the store without a single book, discouraged that I don't know where to start.

It seems that everyone has an answer to the obesity epidemic in our country. But in realty, it's different for every person. What I like to eat, you may not. I remember in high school, always wanting to be on the newest "fad" diet. However, I couldn't stomach eating a tomato and every diet had tomatoes in it somewhere. I could never complete a diet plan. That was completely discouraging. As I grew up I realized that just because I didn't eat tomatos didn't mean that I couldn't eat healthy. It just meant I was going to eat healthy without tomatos. It's possible but if I would have listened to the diet books of old, I would never have experienced great whole food vegetarian cooking without tomatos.

So, if you are overwhelmed with the amount of books on the subject of diet and weight loss. If you are a person that doesn't like a lot of foods. I am here to tell you that IT CAN STILL BE DONE! You can still eat healthy around all your eating habits and lose weight. I have so I know you can too. Let me know how I can help you, just email battle2heal@gmail.com to set up a phone conversation.

Enjoy your day!
