It's hard to eat right. I grew up in a household where good food was always around. No one forced me to eat too much, but when it's that good, it's hard to say no. Holidays were the best and worst combined, for that was when everyone brought out their favorites.

I'm grateful this July 4th weekend to be able to stop when I want to and know when I need to.

I'll write more about general health principles next week. I want to be careful to say that I'm not Weight Watchers and I won't share the details of the program. Disclaimers apply.
