Understand that a great deal of Sarah Jessica’s petite size is due to one lucky factor…genetics. Sarah has admitted that her lean frame and low weight are natural, and that she has always been a small person. Instead of attempting to appear as small as Sarah, try embracing your own size by focusing on your health with exercise and nutrition (and not aesthetics.)

Start by getting outside and walking every day. Sarah lives in New York City with her son James and husband, Mathew Broderick; she has admitted that walking everywhere helps keep the weight off. Work steps into your day by walking to a friend’s house, taking a bicycle ride for errands, or simply parking as far from your next destination as possible.

Fit exercise into your daily lifestyle whenever possible. Sarah Jessica admits to maintaining a naturally active schedule by running stairs instead of taking the elevator or walking instead of hailing a cab. After the birth of her son, she got back into shape quickly by using his body weight for workouts, and carrying him everywhere (instead of resorting to a stroller).

Although Sarah Jessica may not have to watch her weight, she strives to listen to her body’s hunger signals (eating only when hungry and stopping before full) and truly enjoys food. Stop wasting calories on items that are not your favorites, and simply enjoy small portions of desired foods instead.

Use portion control at all times, and stop stressing about diet plans or fads. Sarah admits that a large part of her slim figure is simply eating small amounts of her favorite foods throughout the day, and practicing well-rounded nutrition.
