to lose weight. Commit to
losing it, whatever it takes. Plan a
way to lose it; you need a map to get where you want to go.

alone is often not enough. Forgive
people.

sleep.

(eaten)

consumption of calories, fat, sugar, and salt. Increase
activity to burn more energy.

Healthy
bodies function better. Prevent
sickness and disease. Feel great,
have high levels of energy. Wise food
choices do not make fat bodies.
