Little Things Count (Or: How Two French Fries Weigh Forty Pounds)

To put on forty pounds over ten years means gaining an average of four pounds per year.

• 40 pounds divided by 10 years equals 4 pounds per year.
• Four pounds divided by 12 months equals .33 1/3 of a pound per month.
• This is approximately .01 (1/100th) of a pound per day.
• One pound of stored fat represents 3500 calories.
• 3500 times .01 equals 35
• To achieve the feat of gaining 40 pounds in 10 years, all you have to do is consume an extra 35 calories every day,
• 35 calories = two regular French Fries.

French fries are not a bad food. No food is BAD. But most people struggle because they do WELLNESS backwards. Deciding to go on a Diet usually means that when you have your perceived results, you will go OFF a diet. From now on think of DIET as the D.aily I.ntake of E.ssential and empowering T.houghts and things. It’s how you write your wellness story every day—step by step—and choice by choice—and you are the one writing your story.
