#WEDNESDAY TIP OF THE DAY TV#
I urge you to sit down to eat and not in front of a TV or computer but at a table or surface and really enjoy your food. We are so out of touch with food and meal times that we eat out of habit, mindlessly and in a hurry.

Life is not about what diet you are on or what challenge you opt in to is next, instead it is about living your life to the fullest at your optimum health. Stress is a big contributor to weight gain and poor health outcomes so stressing about how to lose weight or how to feel better can make matters worse, not cool!
