Dear Alice,

Good job, Alice. One more thing to add: exercise regularly. It will increase your body's metabolism, and will help produce natural hormones ? which will make you feel good. If you are too tired, or too busy to do exercise, then begin with simple things, such as power-walking (fast walking) for 40 minutes, 3-days-a-week [if you are too busy, then you can do it on the weekends ;) ].

Lots of people give up the regular exercise, simply because they try too hard at first and get tired of it. So take baby steps.

Hope this helps.

with love,
Dave K.
