Great encouragement! I knew someone who did nothing to change their diet, but started walking only 1 mile everyday. He lost 20 pounds in a year. I know 1 mile is hard at first, but the suggestion to start small is really the way to go. I suggest that you do make small changes to your diet as well. That will help you tremendously. For instance, instead of having a sandwich, make two wraps of sliced turkey or ham with lite mayo or mustard wrapped in green leaf lettuce. Add a slice or two of bell pepper to that and maybe green onion. that way, you are sneaking in a vegetable serving. You won't miss the bread and it's filling. By the way, a serving of veggies is only 1/2 a cup. You will be amazed at what you gain by taking those baby steps as suggested. Also, remember, the word "diet" doesn't mean losing weight, it is what you eat everyday. Your "diet" can be full of cookies, cakes, unhealthy breads, and too much red meat or your diet can be foods that are good for your body. It's your choice. Best Wishes for a new and healthier you.
