Size Always Matters information
About the book
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 which 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 adapt this programme to lose the weight healthily and to enjoy a better quality of life. Don’t be included in the statistics and start losing weight today.

1. I love breakfast and believe it is the most important of the day. We usually have a light supper around 6.30pm and I go for my first walk of the day at 8.00 a.m so it is usually 9 a.m. before I have breakfast. I am ready for it by then and I usually have porridge with a banana, some full fat milk and a teaspoon of honey and a green tea. That keeps me going until lunchtime.
2. Fruit in season is our afternoon snack and because we are used to a warmer climate we are drawn to grapes, peaches and apricots, although when pears are ripe they are lovely too. It is wonderful now that so many fruits from the continent in particular are available all year round and we ring the changes as they appear in the supermarket.
3. We gave up alcohol in lockdown. We used to drink quite a bit of wine when we lived in Spain but after coming back here we got out of the habit and then we realised we didn't particularly like the after effects. It certainly took us longer to recover. We noticed that during lockdown people were stocking up not just on toilet paper but wine and spirits too. We realised it might be very easy whilst isolated to drink more than was good for us so we gave up completely. We never picked it up again but it did set me on a discovery of the non-alcoholic spirits, beers and wine available and when we entertain or visit family and friends a bottle of zero alcohol Gordon's Gin with tonic and a slice of lemon is great as are some of the red wines now available including the Shiraz grape varieties. There are also some excellent zero beers as well. At least at gatherings now we are not standing around drinking glasses of water looking like we don't belong at a party!!
My thanks to Sandra for inviting me over to showcase my new book, I really appreciate the support.
