9 Ways Losing Weight Happens When You Start With One Little Thing At a Time

If losing weight and getting to your ideal size  seems overwhelming, start with one little thing. Just go a step at a time. Pick something to do that is do-able.Losing weight happens when you choose something you can fit into your schedule and don’t resist doing. Think in terms of losing ½ pound a week, which adds up to 26 pounds a year. If you are gaining 5 pounds or so a year, imagine what a difference this will make in a few years! Here are some ideas…

1. Move your body 20 minutes, 5 days a week. It can be something fun like dancing or playing with your children or grandchildren.
2. Omit one of the following from your diet: wheat, soy, sugar, dairy, peanuts
3. Smell peppermint oil several times a day (I recommend Young Living, which is the most pure and powerful oil I have found).
4. Skip one or two desserts a week.
5. Spend 10 minutes a day doing deep, diaphragmatic breathing.
6. Spend 10 minutes a day in meditation or prayer.
7. Walk stairs instead of using the elevator.
8. Eat at least one hot meal a day.
9. Cook at least one meal a day.
