This is the updated fifth edition of Size Matters by Sally Cronin…Our physical approach, our mental attitude and our emotions are all factors in how we overcome disease and obesity, and should all be addressed when looking for the right programme that will work for each individual…
I am happy to share Sally’s journey of how she has tackled obesity and lifestyle diseases…most of you know that I have been back in the UK on an extended visit..what has shocked me is friends who are the same age as me and how lucky I consider myself to be as fit and healthy as I am for my age…is it in my genes? some of it is but it is also the fact that I consider my food choices..always…Reading Sally’s posts has made me even more aware that I can also do so much more…
Thank you, Sally, for reposting this series…Please head over to Sally’s and read this next instalment there is also a Fat Accumulation Table …prepare to be shocked and helped to avoid the worst foods…

Thanks very much for the intro and the link to the posts Carol… I do think there has been a shift in weight and fitness in the UK over the last two years particularly. I am not sure that it will be a quick fix to stop the trend and with many doctors now happy not to see patients face to face there will be even fewer checks and balances.. ♥♥

Fitness matters. YES! I wear a Fitbit and feed it thousands of steps every day. I also do Pilates, not so I can brag about it, but to keep mobile and flexible. No canes or walkers for me. Indeed, size does matter, Sally and Carol. Great post!

I’m not “fit” I gained a ton of weight after having my kid but I love that you posted this! I’m trying to loose weight and get back into shape but I’m also trying to love myself through it. It’s a hard combination

It is very hard to find the balance. One step at a time and throughout the process of losing weight don’t lose sight of who you are, the great things in your life and always love yourself. x
