I was sitting with my daughter reading her the “101 Dalmatians” and I couldn’t help but think about how my life has changed from when I was my former heavy self And, not from the perspective of having kids or anything that was new in my life, but more from the perspective of how balanced my life became

The challenge to being successful when dieting is finding your individual motivation For me, the diet was all about achieving a goal that has been accomplished by very few people

The first ingredient towards your new lifestyle starts with having the ability to identify the behaviors that are impacting your eating and your resulting weight Remember, most people go on a diet, lose the weight and then put the weight back on

If you are someone who went for years ignoring your weight gain and not doing anything about it, can you think of a reason why it took you so long to attack the issue Or, in simpler terms, why did you wait so long to do something about your weight problem

One of the most confusing things about dieting is determining which diet is the right one for you And, unless you have been hiding under a rock, you already know that literally hundreds of different diets exist
