We’ve all been trained to credit the diet when we lose weight—and blame ourselves when we gain it all back. The word “diet” in this sense is defined as “restricting oneself to small amounts of specific foods to lose weight.”
What if there was just one New Year’s resolution—that if you kept it—could change your life forever?
And we’d all have bruised booties and a hard time sitting down! 🤣
🍎 “An apple a day does keep the doctor away!”
Don’t we all just want to be acknowledged, accepted, appreciated, and loved? 💕
Salad jars are convenient and portable way to get a good amount of your daily veggies in one meal.
