145/365 For a Slim Figure...

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Audrey Hepburn once said, "For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry."

When you sit down at your next meal, make an effort to think about the hungry in our world. What is our perception of food? Is it a social vehicle? Is it something we do for pleasure, necessity, or boredom? Not only am I asking you to consider your diet, I implore you to think about your social responsibility, to care for those in need.

We're coming ever closer to Christmas. This holiday season, when you are wafting your mother's fresh Christmas cookies or your father's secret recipe, think about the hungry out there who won't get to. Consider donating food to your local food bank or spending time in a community kitchen.

In health,

Lauren
