FROM THE EDITOR Tanya J. Tyler, Editor | Share your story: [email protected] Dear Friends, I am sure most of us have fought the “battle of the bulge.” We all wish there was some magic pill we could take that would melt away the pounds while we still eat everything we like as we sit on the couch binge watching our favorite TV shows. Unfortunately, that’s not the case (yet). There is no magic pill. If you want to lose weight, you have to do the work. You have to wrap your mind around the idea of changing your eating habits, choosing healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits over the high-salt, highfat items that are your downfall. And you have to get up and get going – do some exercise. It’s all up to you. In this issue of Health and Wellness magazine, you will find plenty of tips on how to lose weight and keep it off. You will read about the benefits of vegetables and other foods that can help you lose weight. We take a look at diet plans and weight-loss surgery, and in one article we also pose an intriguing paradoxical question: Is it possible to be fit and fat? I hope you get an overall sense of empathy for your weight-loss pursuits with this issue. We’re here to encourage you and cheer you on in your pursuit of health and wellness. While it’s not easy to slim down or to create an exercise regime you like and will stick with for the long haul, set your goals and stick with them. You know it will all be worth it in the end.
