This blog is for my friends - and their friends - a resource for random comments mostly focused on nutritional information, but would include related areas of overall health, exercise and attitude. I am dedicated - and have always been - to helping anyone who asks about any of these subjects, and if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. So, ask away...m.

It Has To Work For You!
Well, there is another new diet book out - I'm not going to say the name because unless I'm 100% behind something, I don't want to get myself in trouble. But you'll hear about it - it's all over the news - basically, you're overweight because you don't have enough self-discipline to lose it. Terrific - how easy is that! If it were just that simple to fix, we'd all be at our perfect weight!! Of course, it does involve self-discipline, but it also involves having a support group of friends, a good exercise program, the right balance of healthy foods, and the time to incorporate it all successfully to get the results you want - and probably a few other things. Every book has a valid point (or several) - this one is rather stern, but may work for some people - good for them! But it might not work for you, and it might even set you back. Please don't get that discouraged!! There is a plan out there for you, one that you can do. You might need to get some help from a dietician to help you go through the various programs, and you may have to try a few different ones to find the right one, but there is one out there for you. You might even have to combine a few - life changes every day, and your plans may have to change with it - but you can reach your goal. You can start today! Melissa
