Hi!

As 2005 draws to a close my home city (Edinburgh in Scotland) gets ready for one of its biggest parties of the year with fireworks on all 7 of the surrounding hills and a huge street party with music and celebrations all over the middle of town.

There's so much going on here all year round - but it is pretty special on New Year's Eve. I'm sure there will be a lot of sore heads and broken resolutions by tomorrow - same as every New Year.

I always avoid making promises to myself that start at midnight on 31st. There's nothing that can't wait until January 2nd or 6th or 14th ....

But if you are going to make a resolution to lose weight tonight (or on the 2nd, 6th or 14th) why not make it an easy one to keep? If you want to make a change that will make all the difference to your weight then this week's article is for you.

Hope 2005 finishes on a high note for you too - and you're ready to make 2006 the best year yet

Love

Feature Article : Lose Weight with the One Resolution You Can Keep

Will you make another resolution this year to follow a strict diet and exercise routine? And will it have you feeling like a failure in a couple of weeks when you can't keep it up?

Why not make one you can keep this year? Start with something you know you can do, which needs no special equipment and which you can do anywhere. This is something which is so powerful, so simple it will serve you all your life. I call it a "Power Pause" because it means using a moment to regain power over your decisions about what and when you eat.

To make the "Power Pause" part of your life ask yourself just 3 questions before you eat anything

  • Am I physically hungry right now or could I wait?
  • How will I feel after I have eaten this?
  • Is there a better choice?

The Power Pause is a tool you can use whenever you're faced with food. You can use it before you buy food in a restaurant or shop. And you can use it before you open the fridge or freezer, before you reach into the cupboard for a snack, before you have a second cookie. You can even use it during a meal to help you think about whether you have eaten enough. Use it to remind yourself to stop eating whether or not there is food left on your plate or on the table. It simply helps you avoid eating when you're not hungry.

We all tend to eat food without thinking. We see food, we eat it. We get offered food, we accept it. We pass a burger bar. We suddenly feel "hungry", go in and order. We anesthetize our minds with food when we're upset. We hardly notice the food going in.

And eating food without needing it is the primary cause of our weight problems. We eat and eat without thinking whether we're hungry right now, whether that food is the best choice we can make for our bodies and our health. We eat without thinking about our desire to look good on the beach this year, to do something about our threatening health problems, to feel good about ourselves.

But what does it take to pause for a moment before you make a decision to put food in your mouth, to think twice before you add those calories to your hips? A few seconds at most! Certainly less time than you will spend regretting your bout of over-eating.

You may not succeed in stopping yourself every time especially at the beginning of using this tool - so don't look for perfection from yourself - look for progress. Keep going because it will eventually become second nature - a habit for the rest of your life - one which will help you stay slim forever.

For the next few days we have a 2 for 1 offer too - see below this week's recipe.

Recipe of the week : French Bread Pizza

Serve with lots of salad. You could replace the ham with chicken or cooked bacon (or cooked mushrooms for a vegetarian version)

Serves 2 - 4 (depending on your appetite and the size of the baguettes!)

2 mini baguettes
50g (2oz) low-fat mozzarella, grated or diced
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
4 slices ham, chopped
2 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
few fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 egg, beaten

Pre-heat the oven to it's highest setting. Cut the baguettes in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft insides then chop the bread you take out (or use a food processor) to make rough crumbs. Mix the egg with the cheese, ham, tomatoes and basil, then stir in the crumbs and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Use the mixture to refill the bread. Bake for about 10 minutes until the filling is cooked and golden brown.

Special Subscriber Offer : 2 for 1 Diet Exit Plan

If you purchase the Diet Exit Plan on or before the 9th January you will be able to take advantage of our current two for the price of one offer. You can either share the cost with a friend so that both of you get the plan and all the bonuses (including 3 months membership of the Simply Slimming online Slimming Club and coaching) for just £23.50 each (about $43) or you can choose 6 months membership along with your plan instead of sharing with a friend.
