New Study Begins on Alternative Obesity Options

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York and the University at Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions today announced a five-year research and treatment program for the severely obese that will study the effects of weight-loss alternatives to gastric bypass surgery.

The overarching aim of the study is to determine the effects of different types of treatment regimens on weight loss in the extremely obese. As part of the study, the researchers will measure in all subjects conditions associated with weight loss, such as changes in blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids and health-related quality of life. Obesity-related sleep disorders and genetic factors that may influence weight gain also will be assessed.

There will be 70 subjects in each group. The first group will follow a low-calorie diet of between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day and participate in behavioral treatment. The second will follow a very-low-calorie diet of 800 calories daily and participate in behavioral treatment. The low-calorie diet, behavioral treatment and use of medication will be the regimen of participants in the third group. The approach with the fourth group will involve the very-low-calorie diet, behavioral treatment and medication.

The behavioral treatment for all four groups will focus on lifestyle changes through education and skill-building in the areas of dietary change, relapse prevention and motivational strategies. The medication used will be one of two weight-loss drugs approved for long-term use, depending on each participant's co-existing health conditions. The investigators theorize that those who stay on the very-low-calorie diet and receive medication and behavior treatment will achieve the best results.

"The U.S. Surgeon General calls obesity 'the terror within'.  Read the full story...

Comments: It's nice to have these types of studies...not. The real study (if there actually needs to be one to point out the obvious) is to find out what percentage of total food and drinks are represented by fast foods and soft drinks, and how addictive they are...and whether their removal would put obesity on a decline. But I guess we need to put $ into something that makes everyone "feel" as though we're making progress in helping improve America's health.

Berry extracts stop cancer cell growth in the lab

From NutraIngredients.com --

Antioxidant-rich extracts from a wide range of berries, including blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, could inhibit cell growth and spread for a wide range of cancers, researchers from UCLA have reported.

The researchers, led by Navinda Seeram from UCLA's Center for Human Nutrition, characterised the phenolic content of six berries and tested their ability to inhibit the growth of human oral, prostate, breast and colon cell lines.

While more research is needed to clarify the possible anti-cancer effects of the berries, the research does add to a growing body of evidence of the potential health benefits of berries that has filtered through to the consumers and has seen demand increase.

Indeed, sales of blueberries, for example, are reported to have rocketed by 130 per cent, raspberry sales are said to have grown by 62 per cent in the last two years, a strawberry sales in the UK are reported to have increased by 34 per cent during the last two years.

"Our studies provide preliminary data as to the ability of these compounds to inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis of different human cancer cells lines in vitro," wrote Seeram in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Comments: If you thought about whether or not you could use an extra dose of berries and grapes, then you may just want to get a daily serving each day. If you would like to try a product that is made from the juice of 9 different grapes and berries, plus put into a capsule, then you should visit the banner on the right. You will really give your immune system a good boost by adding berries and grapes to your diet.

Obesity in America--it's a big-ass problem!

The world as we know it has gone crazy, it really has. A woman like Me Me Roth tells the truth; that Obesity is deadly and unnecessary and she is vilified.

We have 8 million people starving in one country and 8 million sitting around on big round fat butts in another. I get hundreds of emails a week from people desperate to lose weight yet they baulk at my suggestion that to lose the weight they need to do 5 simple things. Imagine that for a moment, being able to solve a problem that has plagued you (and your behind) for dozens of years simply by making 5 simple changes! Why wouldn't a person do that?  Why don't they do it? And why are we so Obese and Overweight when the way to solve it is so simple?

Why?

First off, because we don't want to work at the solution, we want it handed to us in an easy pill or a stomach stapling operation. One woman actually asked me this week if I thought having tape worms placed in her body would be a better option than "dangerous diet pills"? I think stopping eating the unhealthy food might be a bit more sensible and less likely to kill her than either of her two options!

And, because American's have been brainwashed into thinking that dieting (i.e. going on a "short term calorie restricted intake plan") is the answer that will permanently change them and they want to believe that because every diet you can name tells the dieter that they can "still have the foods they love but in moderation". They don't want to change what is causing them to be fat in the first place, they want to fat to go away but their habits to remain the same--unhealthy!

IF and that's a BIG if, we were remotely capable of handling the foods that we "love" in moderation we wouldn't be in the huge mess of a Obesity Pandemic that we now find ourselves stuck in. We wouldn't be spending/wasting $45 Billion dollars a year on diets pills, programs and potions designed to make us thinner yet only end up getting fatter. Our Government wouldn't be spending/wasting $100 billion a year trying to fight our fight only to end up with a big fat black eye of shame. We spend $145 BILLION dollars a year trying to get into our skinny jeans and the only thing we are succeeding getting into is our coffins prematurely at a staggering rate of 300,000 deaths a year directly related to Obesity and another 2.6 million people it contributed to their early deaths.

I think the time as come to ask ourselves honestly do you want to Big Mac or do you want to die early? I think the "do you want fries with that?" question should be banned from the face of the earth and the question of "do you want to be buried or cremated?" should replace it. Let the government mandate THAT if they want to do any good or see a return on their $100 billion dollar a year investment.

Rather than allowing McDonald's to voice their freedom of speech showing fit, healthy and trim people "Lovin' It!" I think the government should force McDonald's to show THIS

picture in their ads and then, do you think Ronald McDonald really has the balls to declare "I'm Lovin' it!" under the obese kids picture?

What if the governement forced Coca-Cola to put a warning label on the side of every can of their high-fructose corn syrup laced poison: "Warning, consumption of just ONE of these a day will put 15 pounds a year on your ass". Ok "bottom" or "thighs" Ok, maybe I don't have to be vulgar to get my point across but when you are fighting ads like this being extreme gets your attention:

  (nice Logo's on their's)

when the real "Coke Side of Life" drinkers bottom looks more like this:

(Notice the Fast food Soft drink next to her?)

I ask you, what's a person to do? Sit back and do nothing or shout the truth that the 3 biggest reasons or "vices" that are making Americans become increasingly out of control fat are Soft Drinks, Fast Food and TV. We eat like food we wouldn't give our dogs, we drink beverages that would kill our houseplants and we get less movement than our ancestors (who incidentally never had weight problems).

Bottom line: Coke use Up in 50 years:

 

As goes Coke consumption, there go with it our waist lines!

GOSH? That equals 72% eat fast food at least once a week; isn't it funny that is almost the exact same statistic (75%) as the number of OVERWEIGHT Americans? Hmmm?

This isn't rocket science but clearly Fast food and Soft drinks are to blame for Obesity and Overweight!

What are the 5 Simple solutions that WILL end Obesity? They are what I call Vice-Busting. You can learn more about it at www.ViceBustingDiet.com :

1. Avoid fattening, fried and unhealthy fast foods

2. Abstain from all sugar-laden beverages, including asparatame punch.

3. Get up off the couch and get some movement each day. Even as little as 5 minutes a day will increase your longevity! Wear a pedometer and know are you "busy" or "active" and get more active each day.

4. Take Phase 2 every time you eat ANY pasta, bread or potatoes. Learn more about it at www.phase2info.com basically your body will digest these staples of American life in a more controlled manner! Control your carbs before they control you!

5. Eat more fruits and vegetables! And as Dr. David L. Katz and Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld say "If you can't won't or don't eat 9-13 servings of raw fresh fruits and vegetables a day; take Juice Plus!

A Gene Mutation that Controls Energy Levels?

From MedicalNewToday.com --

University of Ottawa medical researchers have discovered a mutation in a gene that is widely considered to be the major controller of energy levels in our bodies. The discovery has significant implications for people suffering from diabetes and for endurance athletes.

This study focused on the gene for AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), which controls the amount of energy in our cells by becoming active when fuel stores start to deplete, such as during exercise. The mutation discovered in individuals from two unrelated families caused a doubling of AMPK activity in muscle during rest, mimicking a state of exercise.

The significance of this study is that "the mutation produces a decrease in the storage in muscle of fat and an increase in muscle glycogen."

Comments: Now of course, pharmaceutical companies will try to create and test a drug that could mimick this condition for the sake of people wanting to lose weight, and for those who have Type II diabetes. Not that this is a bad thing, but educating the public about the importance of a healthy diet and plenty of exercise would go much further in reducing the need for treatment of obesity and Type II diabetes. Athletes may find a drug that creates such condition a plus, especially an endurance athlete -- i.e. Tour de France? -- or blood doping may already be doing the job. We need to stop looking for the easy short cuts and start doing the sensible thing. Or have we lost all common sense?

Whole Grain Breakfast Good for the Heart

From MedicalNewsToday.com --

If your diet is full of whole grains, you may be avoiding heart problems earlier in life than if you go without.

From Medical News Today, the report goes on, "If you are a man and consume plenty of whole grain cereals for breakfast you probably have a lower risk of heart failure, compared to a man who never or rarely eats whole grains for breakfast, according to an article in Archives of Internal Medicine (JAMA/Archives).

The authors explain that the lifetime risk for heart failure is about 20% for both men and women at 40 years of age. Previous studies had indicated that high grain consumption is linked to a lower risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary heart disease and high blood cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) - and lower mortality in general."

The writers concluded "Our data demonstrate that a higher intake of whole grain breakfast cereals is associated with a lower risk of heart failure." They believe this link may be because of the beneficial effects of whole grains on heart failure risk factors, such as heart attack, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. "If confirmed in other studies, a higher intake of whole grains along with other preventive measures could help lower the risk of heart failure."

Comments: Whole grains are a good addition to a healthy diet. If you'd really like to add a healthier breakfast to your diet, consider trying Quaker Oats, the full size not quick oats, and when your done cooking them, add some milled Flaxseed, along with Wheat germ, and you'll be doing your body, your energy level, your heart, and your blood a world of good!

Stick to a Health Diet for your Kid's Sake

From Shape.com --

Maintaining a healthy diet can be a challenge when you're a mom, especially when your kids are averse to any food that's green.

"The secret is being super-organized," says Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry, working mother of three, and author of the new book Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food. Two of the strategies she uses to work healthful foods into her- and her family's-life:

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way? Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although fruits and other juice is the convenient way to get nutrients but many convenient even if you have apple juice. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin, so if you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement.

• Eat a quick breakfast every morning.
  Most often, Seinfeld microwaves a bowl of oatmeal and tops it with fresh blueberries, so she knows she's starting off the day with something nutritionally sound.
• Sneak in the nutrients.
  She blends steamed vegetables (broccoli, peppers, carrots) in a food processor, then mixes them into kid-friendly dishes, so she can enjoy them too. Some favorites: pancakes with sweetpotato purée and mac and cheese made with reduced-fat cheddar and cauliflower purée. Good-for-you recipes kids and adults will love

Comments: One of the biggest challenges that parents face today is getting their children on the path of healthy eating from an early age. We have television and other forms of influence to thank for the plethora of poor food choices that are so widely consumed. But if you can get those habits ingrained into their lifestyle for those first several critical years, you stand a much better chance of a healthy adult. We hear parents all the time calling to inquire about nutritional support for their kids, because "they are such picky eaters". It's not a matter so much of being a picky eater as it is instilling discipline and rules. Remember the generations ago when you heard, "you're not leaving the table until you finish your vegetables!" How lucky many of us were to be forced to finish the healthy foods back then. What has happen to us? parents become too influenced by the fast food and easy prepared foods that we've killed our own taste buds and now our children? We need to get back on the road to a healthy diet!

Fat Actress...again?

TMZ.com---Kirstie Alley showed off a reduced figure on Oprah just a month ago, but this past weekend she was spotted looking as though she'd already packed on holiday pounds.

Kirstie was spotted getting a manicure with daughter Lillie before heading out for some shopping. The Jenny Craig spokeswoman might find herself looking for a new job in the new year -- if Alley continues adding to her fleshed-out frame.
--------

Kirstie, I feel for you! Being overweight and the struggles that we endure as a result is hard on anyone, but having to do it under the microscope of the paparazzi? I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Obviously, Jenny Craig as been a very effective way for you to lose a great deal of weight to this point, but if you, like all of us, desire to keep it off, you need to now focus on the "inner work" necessary to make weight loss improvements last for the rest of and BEST of your life.

You need to take a long hard look at and identify those foods which you "love"--those foods when we are trying to stay "ON" a diet call to us, we crave and usually cave in and eat despite the fact they aren't on our eating plan and clearly outside of the realm of healthful eating---once you figure out those foods or "vices"--BUST them!

Forever! You need to live a life that is free of the control that they have over your eating habits and health. Embrace the fact that a life without a particular food is NOT a life of deprivation; rather eating it deprives you of realizing your goals and dreams!

You can do this, we all can! Anyone wanting help with busting their vices, check out http://www.vicebustingdiet.com/ I promise it is going to take up to 50 pounds OFF of your body for GOOD in 26 weeks!

Respectfully,
Julia

The Environment Diet

I learned something last night reading my daughter's homework assignment. It was for her personal finance class and they had to read an article by sales expert Jeffrey Gitmor titled "The environment you create will dictate your success.”

When I say success environment what do YOU think about? He is NOT referring to the retirement destination of luxury living as a mark of success environment but rather "your surroundings; both mental and physical"

Your mental environment begins with a positive attitude and grows to your acceptance of new things, new people and new ideas -- your mental willingness to see the bright side of everything and your mental ability to turn obstacles into opportunities.

If your environment isn't set up for success, it is YOUR responsibility to make it a better one.
I LOVE this article! Now, like most things in life, it got me thinking about weight loss and how what I just read could apply to our journey. It applies perfectly!

In my book "The Vice Busting Diet" (http://www.vicebustingdiet.com/), I talk about the need to get rid of clutter -- cleaning up your house, finishing projects that are lying around undone, finishing what you start, etc. I can’t tell you how many people write me and ask what that possibly has to do with losing weight and I will tell you what I tell them it has everything to do with it.

If you live in a chaotic environment, your life will be chaotic. If you live in a messy environment, your life will be messy. If you live amongst clutter and unfinished projects, YOU will be just another piece of clutter-filled unfinished junk with a lot of potential but no results. Ouch!

Hey, the truth hurts, but sometimes it’s just the kick in the butt that we need to kick it in gear!So what are the truths we can apply to weight loss?

If I asked you what success meant to you, what would you think of? WRONG! It is NOT reaching a specific measure on the scale, yet that is what universally comes to mind when thinking of a successful weight-loss journey.

How many people, including yourself, do you know who have lost weight, been “successful” on their weight-loss journey reaching their goal weight only to gain it all back and then some? HOW is that success? WHY should we continue to measure our success by the one tool that continually hinders real success? I am talking about the scale and pounds.

The true environment of success for a lasting, successful and healthful weight-loss journey is based on the actions of healthy living! A life that consists of adequate daily water intake, a healthy well-balanced diet, regular exercise, an active schedule and a positive attitude are essential for lasting weight loss. If you bring to your weight-loss journey an old and tired defeatist attitude -- "this isn’t going to work" -- you will be right. If you think that you can keep doing what you have always done, eat what you have always eaten, but in this case somehow realize different results, you are only kidding yourself.

If you think you can get to a predetermined measure on the scale and then revert back to your old habits, you are going to get whiplash as the yo-yo string reels you back to your starting weight.

While a healthy diet is one aspect of this journey, and certainly pounds lost is a goal, who you become along the way is the real measure of success. The real goal should be becoming a person who has a healthy lifestyle, who exhibits healthy actions at all times and embraces health not for pounds lost but for the gains in preventing future illness and disease, for movement, flexibility and stamina, for a zest for living.

That is who you should strive to become and what your new environment should be like.

Sick Care vs. Health Care

Sick Care vs. Health Care - Do you know which side you are on? There is a difference, and these are not two phrases that we can throw around anymore as if to joke about the truth of most medical care (aside from emergencies and some antibiotics, in my humble opinion). Sick care is waiting until you get sick and getting medicine to "heal" you, while the side effects tear down your body and your immune system, only to have you back to the MD's office needing more "healing" (drugs). This spiraling downward can go on for YEARS, until one day you don't wake up... or you wake up to the truth that you need to just eat right and exercise to be healthy!

The Overweight Epidemic (from Paul Zane Pilzer)

"In the past, we have always associated poverty with being terribly thin, mostly due to starvation. When I was young I wanted to grow up to be a “rich fat man.” Today, the tables have turned; “poor” and “fat” have become synonymous, and “rich fat man” has become an oxymoron! Centuries ago, the only corpulent people were royalty and wealthy landowners. Today, the lower the income, the more we see obesity, and the higher the income, the more we see men and women who are fit and trim, defying their age. [Get a copy of his book, The Wellness Revolution]

Since 1980, we have more than doubled the percentage of overweight and obese people in the United States. In 1980, 15 percent of the population was obese; by the year 2000, that number had jumped to 27 percent—that’s 77 million clinically obese people! Today, 61 percent of the U.S. population is overweight and headed towards obesity—which has increased 10 percent to almost 30 percent of the U.S. population. As a result, 18 million Americans have diabetes and another 41 million over age 40 have prediabetes. Most people with prediabetes develop type 2 diabetes in 10 years. Sixty-five percent of people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke, and the medical costs alone to treat diabetes now exceeds $100 billion a year.

Moreover, overweight and obesity are also symptoms of poor nutrition. Typically someone who is obese is also vitamin-deficient and suffers from fatigue and arthritis or other ailments that all stem from poor nutrition. Our food industry, which represents about one trillion dollars annually, exacerbates the problem by catering to the “lowest common denominator” of poor nutrition.

What about our health care? The truth is, what we call “health care” is not really the health business but the sickness business. Our medical industry today has very little to do with health. The $2 trillion we spend on medical care, which represents one-sixth of the U.S. economy, is concerned almost exclusively with treating the symptoms of illness. It has very little to do with preventing illnesses or with making people feel stronger or healthier."

If you want to be healthy, you've got to start by taking control of your own daily habits - mental, dietary, and exercise. Start by building positive thoughts and a belief in yourself, then work on busting your diet vices, add some exercise, and what I believe to be a great nutritional supplement... and you've got the combination for prevention, good health, and a good life!

Don't wait. Start today.

Sugary Diets Raise Risk of Pancreatic Cancer Sharply

Sugar has plenty to answer for from a public health perspective. And dental caries are far from the worst or even the most likely consequence of overindulging one’s sweet tooth. (Crackers and other sticky carb-rich snacks generate cavities more reliably.)

Modern food manufacturers add sugar to almost every packaged product, and their motivation derives from the effects of human evolution. Our primeval craving for simple carbohydrates, especially sugars, causes us to respond to sweet tastes by sending a signal from palate to brain proclaiming “dude, this is high-value food”.

But what once served as a critical capacity—one that helped early humans choose the most energy-rich forage--now causes us to over-consume sugary sodas, coffee drinks, pastries, candies, and gratuitously sweetened processed foods of every description.

And sugar now comes in many forms, from the traditional cane sugar (sucrose) and honey to the manmade high-fructose corn syrup found in everything from tomato sauce to mayonnaise. The direst dangers of excess sugar are increased risks of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with many studies showing that excess blood sugar leads to “glycation” of LDL cholesterol and thereby to build up of arterial plaque.

Not coincidentally, elevated levels of an inflammation marker called C-reactive protein enhance uptake of glycated LDL cholesterol by immune system cells: an effect that promotes formation of arterial plaque (Zhong Y et al 2006).

This recently discovered effect may turn out to explain why elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein--and the pro-inflammatory diets that cause them—are associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Sugary drinks and snacks seen to raise risk of killer cancer. Thanks to revealing new research from Sweden, we can now add increased risk of pancreatic cancer to the list of sugar’s evil effects (Larsson S et al November 2006).

Scientists at Stockholm’s respected Karolinska Institute have been publishing a series of cancer studies based on large population surveys, designed to reveal any dietary risk factors. (See “Fatty Fish Seen Curbing Women’s Kidney Cancer Risks” and “New Cancer-Risk Findings Rank Seafood and Poultry Far Safer than Processed Meats”.) The new study involved almost 80,000 healthy women and men, and the results points an accusatory finger at sugar with regard to pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is an uncommon but frequently fatal form of cancer, and it is promoted by the chronically elevated levels of insulin associated with poor glucose control: a dysfunction induced by sugar-heavy diets. The new Karolinska study began in 1997 when scientists asked the participants about their diets, and ended in June 2005, when they used the Swedish cancer registry to identify 131 people from the group who’d developed cancer of the pancreas.

As lead author Susanna Larsson said, “It is perhaps the most serious form of cancer, with very poor prognoses for its victims. Since it’s difficult to treat and is often discovered too late, it’s particularly important that we learn to prevent it.”

The Swedish findings indicate that the risk of developing pancreatic cancer correlates closely with the average amount of sugar in a person’s daily diet. Compared with people who rarely drank sweetened beverages or creamed fruit (a popular Swedish treat), those who did so habitually ran sharply increased risks.

1. People who consumed sweetened soda or fruit-based drinks twice a day or more were 90 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer.
2. People who added sugar to food or drinks (e.g. coffee) five times a day or more were 70 percent more likely to get pancreatic cancer.
3. People who ate creamed fruit at least once a day were 50 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer.

The new results present the first evidence that overindulging in sweet foods and drinks raises the risk of this especially dangerous cancer. In addition to cutting back on sugar consumption, recent research suggests that higher intake of vitamin D may help prevent pancreatic cancer. (Sockeye salmon is the richest food source by far: see “Vitamin D Seen Slashing Risk of Pancreatic Cancer”.) Diets rich cruciferous veggies (e.g., cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts) also seemed to provide some anti-cancer protection to the pancreas (Larsson S et al Feburary 2006).

What's YOUR excuse?

"For every difficulty that supposedly stops a person from succeeding there are thousands who have had it a lot worse and have succeeded anyway. So can you."
--- Brian Tracy ---

I really like that quote! I have gotten thousands of emails from people telling me the difficulties they face on their road to self-improvement. I have always responded that difficulties do exsist, but that they do not make the desired results impossible, only more challenging!

In trying to rationalize unhealthy choices many people will use excuses or situations such as:

1. I have a family to cook for, they don't to eat healthy foods.

2. Healthy food is too expensive.

3. I don't like water.

4. I hate exercise.

5. Eating is my companion, my friend.

6. My whole family is fat, I am genetically disposed to this weight.

7. I have tried dieting, it doesn't work.

8. I can't stay motivated for longer than a week.

9. I think my spouse should accept me the way I am.

or, they may use the following reasons for wanting to change:

1. I want to weigh 125, or I want to lose 43 pounds.
2. I want to lose weight for my upcoming wedding, reception, daughter's wedding.
3. My spouse wants me to lose weight.
4. I want to find a partner.

Well, I don't like any of them! So, if any of these could be your words....toss them out and read on!

1. Your family needs to eat the same healthy foods as you do, regardless of their weight!
2. Health complications brought on by obesity are more expensive! Just ask the government about the 45 Billion spent annually because of our excess weight!
3. Then you don't like yourself, your body is made up mostly of water and it needs water to function properly--not soft drinks!!
4. Try living in a body that WON'T move as you want it to! Why not try thinking of exercise as a thing that you are lucky enough to be able to do! It WILL do your body good!
5. Nope. It never has been and never will be your friend. It is food..it is fuel. Get a dog or cat if you are lonely....but not something that is harmful to your health and hindering to your realizing your dreams and goals!
6. What does your whole family eat? What exercise does your whole family do? I suspect there is a lot more going into your jeans than your genes!
7. You need to try healthy living this time! Try changing your life, it works!
8. It is hard to be motivated when you are changing too much, too soon. Try ONE step at a time, one change at a time! Each permanent change that you make empowers you to make the next one!
9. Do YOU accept your body the way it is? It is hypocyrtical if YOU aren't happy with the appearance of your body, but expect someone else to take it or leave it. Maybe, just maybe they love you so much that they want to grow old with you and know that being overweight is shaving years off of your romance?! Give them, and yourself a break!

and finally,

1. The scale isn't the point...seek healthy improvement not scale validation!

2.Wrong! If you lose weight only for an event...then what?! Can you say "Yo-Yo"?! NO more of that thinking! Seek health improvement, not short term fixes!

3. That is just another way of saying "I love you", "I want to grow old with you" and I want to find you as sexy and desireable outside as I know you are inside!

4. Find yourself first!

Get your started on your lifechanging journey today....and this time next year....YOU will have much to be thankful for when you gather with family to reflect on what you should give thanks for!

Are we clear?! Good! Now, get busy DOING!
