Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry

Hi!

It's been a traumatic week here in Edinburgh! My 8-year old son's hamster Speedy went missing on Tuesday night. No sign of him at all for 2 nights and we feared he must have got out of the house somehow and was at the mercy of cats, foxes and the freezing cold temperatures we have had this week.

And then yesterday one of the piles of food we've been leaving out for him disappeared so we think he must be here somewhere. But where and how do we get him back in his cage?

If anyone knows how to find a hamster who has gone AWOL - I (and my little boy) will be eternally grateful.... Please email me if you know at janice@simplyslimming.com

Have a great weekend

Love

Feature Article : How much do you want to lose weight?

Losing weight seems to be a very common goal. More than half the population in the western world say they want to lose weight at any one time.

But do they really want it?

Or is losing weight one of those things that we would all like to do if it was easy but just can't be bothered with if it takes any effort at all?

Is it like wanting to be rich, where we are happy to buy a lottery ticket ("It might just come up") every week but are not prepared to work our tails off to achieve any real wealth?

How much do you want to lose weight? Do you want it enough to change your habits?

Or are you waiting for a magic cure which will allow you to eat and eat and eat your usual sweet, fatty or junky snacks without any of those calories landing anywhere near your tummy or thighs.

It just isn't going to happen unless you make some changes yourself! It doesn't have to be a supreme superhuman effort but you do have to do something! Nothing happens without action.

Dabbling with a diet every other week only to give up when you're offered a piece of chocolate cake isn't going to do it. And even an hour long session at the gym every day for three weeks isn't going to do it either.

Making consistent small changes to your habits one by one until you are living a healthier lifestyle is the only way to lose weight and keep it off permanently without going on and off diets for the rest of your life.

But do you want to lose weight enough to make those small changes? Only you know if you are willing to take enough action to succeed or are one of those who will be forever wishing and thinking they'd like to lose weight but not getting anywhere.

Decide to be one of those who really will lose weight - and start making those changes today!
