Another day...another challenge...another opportunity

I had a conversation several days ago with a group of women who were discussing "weight loss"....I am always amused, entertained and enlightened listening to the personal stories and opinions regarding weight loss in general.  The consensus at the table was the following:  "It is more difficult for those who only need to lose 10 pounds or so".....the thinking was that since the weight loss goal is so small it is OK to go ahead with "that special occasion splurge"..... This type of thinking is defeating and SO INCORRECT!  This type of thinking is also associated with what I call "permissions"....giving oneself permission to not follow a food plan that will lower health risks for heart attack, stroke and diabetes.  There are 365 days in the year and AT LEAST 365 reasons to have a "special occasion splurge"...

Don't quit on yourself - give yourself the opportunity to be as healthy as possible by shedding those fat pounds through Becoming the person you know you can be.  Quit excusing your bad behavior and give yourself the opportunity to look fantastic in your skinny jeans.  Truth be known....you probably don't look as wonderful as you may think !!!
