I've been reading a wonderful book by Mirielle Guiliano called 'French Women Don't Get Fat'. Did I tell you that I've been reading this book.Well there's a good reason why I've been reading it and riding my bike.
We Americans have un-/consciously accepted super size to all that we do. In other words 'go out in a bang', 'give it your all', and 'don't accept less'.
These are great affirmations to support almost everything you do except for our eating habits? We have lied to ourselves and so has the government, and the fast food industry. Feeding us as 'grazers' even before the biggie size fast foods were ever around. We've been fed 1-1/2 to two portion meals for atleast the past two to three decades and this foods not fresh either. Nor are the new gimmicky salads, yogurt and fruit.
So as my woman size wardrobe needs alterations (I refuse to give up/away any of my Jones New York suits), please turn directly to page 253 where Madam Guiliano begins to tell us in the end, as she did in the beginning to love ourselves, our meal, daily walks, fresh food markets to purchase in season vegetables and fruits, and many more.
In addition, we need to stop starving ourselves, eating to gluttony, Worrying, weighing ourselves, asking our companions/spouse 'do I look fat in this?', snacking, eating fat-free (remember Susan Powers? fat and fat-free), stop watching tv (unless it's PBS), and most of all stop Dieting!
Do all in Moderation, eat slowly, enjoy and walk. Most of all...love yourself and if you need psychiatric help. Go get it!
I'm going to ride my bike on the Three Rivers trail.
