The Grand New Years Weight Loss Goal....

Millions of us will make the weight loss pledge this New Years -- having felt the weight piling on through halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve, we find the idea of doing something about it in January so enticing!

Unfortunately, diets often put us in yo-yo weight loss mode, bouncing back and forth between weight highs and lows, with the highs getting higher over the years.  Crash diets and fad diets typically make this worse.

Instead of putting yourself on a diet, how about establishing new, healthy habits that will lead to weight loss and a healthier lifestyle?  I really enjoyed the post below from a fellow Dietitian and encourage you to read it!  In a nutshell;

Be Specific - set a realistic and attainable goal, such as "I will limit my soda intake to one per day", or "I will make half my plate vegetables for lunch and dinner every day".

Be Positive - don't beat yourself up!  Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.  :)
