Guest Post – Sally G Cronin – #newbook – Size Always Matters

 

Most people who write books do not need to be introduced to Sally Cronin. Sally supports Indy authors and does a terrific job helping authors get noticed. Her blog is the one place that every author should visit. In addition to helping her fellow authors with reviews, promotions, and support, she is a talented author.

I am so glad she is here today to inform us about her latest book. You will also witness how much Sally cares about promoting good health and fitness. Here is Sally.

At age 41 in 1994 and weighing 330 lbs, Sally Cronin had two choices when she was told that she was unlikely to live to 45. Carry on eating or get her act together. She chose to study nutrition and change the way she approached the food she ate and her other lifestyle choices.

Her first book, Size Matters, told the story of her weight loss of 154 lbs and shared the programme she designed to both lose the weight and regain her health. Now, thirty years on from the start of that journey, having worked as a nutritional therapist with hundreds of clients as well as acting as a health consultant on radio for several years and on her blog, she shares an updated version of the programme.

Weight loss is not just about calories in and calories out. It is about identifying the physical, emotional, and mental attachments we have to food and developing a deeper respect for the fuel we require to be healthy. As well as exploring the many elements involved in healthy weight loss, she also shares the nutritional balance we need to achieve to prevent many of the lifestyle issues that accompany obesity. This includes some easy-to-prepare recipes that provide nutrient-dense dishes for the whole family.

In 2022, 2.5 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight, including over 890 million adults who were living with obesity. 37 million children under the age of 5 were overweight. Over 390 million children and adolescents aged 5–19 years were overweight, including 160 million who were living with obesity.

If you need to lose 10 lbs or 100 lbs, you can adopt this programmme to lose weight healthily and enjoy a better quality of life. Don’t be included in the statistics, and start losing weight today.

Sally Bio

Sally Cronin is the author of eighteen books, including her memoir, Size Matters: Especially when you weigh 330 lbs, first published in 2001 which followed her weight loss of 150 lbs and the programme she designed to achieve a healthy weight and regain her health. A programme she shared with her clients over her 26-year career as a nutritional therapist and on her blog. This has been followed by another seventeen books, both fiction and non-fiction, including multi-genre collections of short stories and poetry.

Her latest book, Size Always Matters, is an extended and updated version of her original book Size Matters and now includes the nutritional element to weight loss and some recipes with ingredients that provide the nutrients necessary for healthy weight loss and continued good health.

As an author, she understands how important it is to have support in marketing books and offers a number of FREE promotional opportunities in the Café and Bookstore on her blog and across her social media.

After leading a nomadic existence exploring the world, she now lives with her husband on the coast of Southern Ireland enjoying the seasonal fluctuations in the temperature of the rain.
