Weight Weighs Heavy on our Lives
I see many women who want my help to lose weight. It is not just an issue for my clients but something I have had a problem with myself. Like many women I would say I have been on one diet or another pretty much every year since my teens. The net result is I have yo yo'd up and down the scales and worn every dress size between 12 and 20.
What have I learnt from my experiences and those of my clients?
Diets not only don't work but they actually make the problem worse as your body becomes more and more adept at storing fat.
We spend an excessive amount of time and money devoted to our goal of a quick fix.
I've been wondering what if we devoted our energy, time and money to other goals. What could we be achieving in our lives? If we broke for once and for all the cycle of endless 'when I am thin, everything in my life will be better' deals what could we actually be achieving, right here, right now.
Think about it and let me know.

My experiences mirror Rachels. People are obsessed with weight. What we should all be doing is maintaining our health and well being.How many people spend more time looking after their car than they do their health? It's only when they lose it that they take any notice. By that time it is often too late.So they want a quick fix. Do yourself a favour. Do what your mind and body needs TODAY then it won't need fixing.

Today at lunch with friends there were a number of comments about 'good' and 'bad' foods. It's all a matter of perspective. Some of the foods being discarded as 'bad' were high in vitamins and minerals but relatively high in calories. Some foods labelled 'good' - well who knows what additives were in them and the processing that had been applied to strip them of their calorific value.
