French Women Don't Get Fat
NOT TAKEN BY ME!!



It took less than a week for me to get back into my harried life - eating on the run, shoving food in my mouth while I talked on a conference call and simultaneously completed and emailed reports. I was back to the fast lane and fast food take out. The French have less than an 11% obesity rate (and ours is 30% and climbing.)

The French simply eat the freshest food in season, they enjoy what they eat and they walk every where! We cannot avoid food. We need it to survive. But we can choose fresh foods in season that we love, make meals with a few favorite ingredients and savor every bite.

Once we slow down and let our taste buds enjoy great food again, we will give our stomachs the twenty or so minutes it needs to signal - hey that was delicious but I am done now. You can stop. Save the rest for another time. Granted, we should not use food as a deterrent for issues we are not dealing with in life. We need to ask - what exactly is eating me right now? And deal with it.

Get help from books like Life is Hard Food is Easy by Linda Spangle, or from professional therapists.
