Simplicity

     In a day and age where there is so much information at our fingertips, it will never cease to amaze me how people will seek out the answer they want to hear amongst all the MISinfirmation out there. What am I referring to? The weight loss process. Everyday we are bombarded with advertisements for products and diets that claim to be the fast track to weight loss. I think what saddens me more than anything is watching people who want to lose weight get sucked into the hype. I know people who are drinking shakes, taking vitamin shots, popping supplements, and eating bizarre foods hoping that changing or doing that one single, solitary thing is going to be what transforms their bodies from one they are unhappy with to that of a Greek God or Goddess. People are always looking for the quick and easy way out. 

     The cold hard truth is this...there is no easy way out! Weight loss really IS simple, but it IS hard work too. It requires you to watch what you eat and get off your butt. It's the monitoring of the simple equation of calories burned must be more than calories consumed. It doesn't require starving yourself, or never eating your favorite foods. It doesn't require hours upon hours of painful exhausting exercise. But it does take moderation and regular activity. It really is common sense. If I could have one wish granted it would be this...that people would understand they are capable of losing their unwanted weight without spending a ton of their hard earned money on shakes, pills, and gimmicks. Eat a little less, move a little more and save that money to buy some new clothes to show off what you've accomplished ;)

     Make a plan, get out there and move, make your dreams reality. I KNOW you can do this, I believe in you!!

Much love,
