My Thoughts
This 61-page ebook provides some helpful information on making changes in your life. We have all started on a new diet, exercise program or financial budget and ended up becoming frustrated and defeated. Change is difficult.
This book suggests no radical changes, no throwing away half the food in your cupboards, no sugar withdrawal. You'll create a flexible, personalized plan that gently eases you into better eating habits.
I am reminded of the old saying, "Mile by mile, life's a trial. Yard by yard, life is hard. But inch by inch, life's a cinch!"
This ebook is available at Amazon, Apple/iTunes, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords. The price is $0.99. This ebook offers some valuable information for a very reasonable price.
