You don’t need to be thinner in order to be happy and healthy.  If you want to make some healthy improvements to your life in 2016, choose to make a resolution that goes beyond losing weight. Instead, target areas of your life that can be directly improved:

• Make doctor and dentist appointments in a timely fashion
• Cook and prepare lunch instead of relying on processed foods
• Floss
• Support local farms and food producers
• Get more quality sleep
• Eat vegetables at every meal
• Meditate
• Spend more time outside
• Actually eat your fruit before it goes bad
• Don’t watch tv or use the computer during meals
• Take vitamins
• Stretch and improve your flexibility
• Drink herbal tea instead of coffee
• Concentrate on improving your posture
• Participate in Meatless Mondays
• Cut back on your sodium intake
• Regularly donate unworn and ill-fitting clothing to a local shelter
• Wear sunscreen every day you’re outside
• Quit smoking
• Re-try foods that you hate, but haven’t eaten in years
• Moisturize and remove your makeup before going to bed
• Keep a journal

Focus on changing your behavior instead of changing your body, and then every step will be a step forward.
