Why Your Last Diet Failed: It's NOT Your Fault!

For many people, losing weight isn’t a big problem. They simply cut out all the “fattening” foods that they are eating and drinking. Unfortunately, those are probably the foods that you love the most. But a frustrating thing happens to 95% of all people who diet. They gain the weight back, PLUS additional punishment pounds within a few months to a couple of years! Yes, all that deprivation, working out, starvation, only to gain the weight back. The worst part is, you actually gain back additional weight over where you started.

In life, that can result as boredom, procrastination and even cessation of the behavior. To bring passion back into your life, to make your life more interesting, your work more productive, you need a break. Change is good! Relationships need a breakr

Stress Less Over Eating During The Holidays

Trying to lose weight during the holidays can be very stressful and difficult at best! Christmas and Winter Holidays are the season of over-eating, over-indulging and generalized gluttony! And we have that built-in excuse to over-eat: It's the holiday! However, there's a payback in the form of weight gain, discomfort and disappointment with yourself for over eating, yet again. Why do you have to eat PAST your comfort level? Sure the food is good, but is it BETTER when you eat copious amounts of it? Is too much better than enough?

If you are getting on a scale (not something I encourage), watching it as it stops moving gets you really frustrated.
