Happy New You
No, that was not a typo! This IS a new year and in this new year each one of you has the chance to uncover the new you, the REAL you. I have one friend right now that is on the diet. She has been obese her entire life. In a way, she has never seen her real face. Imagine that? As the weight drops she is so excited to see her features emerging. It is like unveiling a sculpture a bit at a time.Now that the holiday mania is behind us we can all get back to the business of getting healthy. No more roadblocks ahead other then the usual. A new year helps us to focus and have a time line to structure our efforts. It gives fuel to the commitment to lose weight. Yes…the whole world is beginning their diets today…and many of them will fail, but they don’t have what we have! While they are struggling to lose 3 or 4 pounds a month, month after month, we can see real progress as each day passes. Given a choice, would you rather lose 4 pounds this month or 20? Maybe even more? That alone will keep you motivated to stay on track.
I wish you all a wonderful 2008. Make this a year that you get your priorities in order. Your health comes first, then your family, then your financial health, and then your friends. Don’t allow those to get out of sync.
Let’s all raise a glass (of Cambridge!) to the NEW YEAR and a NEW YOU!!
