A book recommendation.

Jared, the Subway Guy: Winning Through Losing: 13 Lessons for Turning Your Life Around

by Jared Fogle.

This is not a diet book, nor a plug for Subway. This book was a really inspiring (easy) read about someone who made major life changes. He is very realistic and explains why Subway worked for him. He doesn't expect Subway to be your solution- you must find your own solutions for changing any kind of addictive behavior; eating, gambling, drinking, etc. I found his realism and practicality very refreshing.

Essentially, his message is that there is no silver bullet. You have to want to change and then you have to work hard. I recommend this book even if you don't have weight to lose!

I didn't know he wrote a book. It sounds interesting! I'm having a really hard time right now staying committed to my goals- I could use a dose of inspiration.
