Hi!
I decided to try a new look for the newsletter this week and if your email program reads html format emails you should be able to see the new version with graphics and all.
Not sure whether I'll keep doing this so let me know what you think - I do read and respond to all emails (at least I do if the pesky email filters let them get through to my inbox).
Have a great week
Love
Janice Elizabeth

Feature Article : Waiting for 2007?
Please get real. This time of year so many people put off losing weight "until after the holidays". You tell yourself you need a fresh start, that you'll "do it right from January 1st"
This means that you will have wasted another eight weeks without taking action. In fact for most people it means you'll make the most of all the opportunities available to eat and drink too much at this time of year and end up a whole five or more pounds bigger than you are today before you start.
And the worst thing is that come January 1st, you won;t have changed. You won't suddenly find the willpower to eat like you think you're going to, to visit the gym 3 times a week for the rest of your life. You're still the same person with the same busy life. A fresh start marked by a New Year won't change that.
How many times have you said to yourself that on Monday you'll start afresh. How many New Year's Resolutions have you made in the past?
What will be different this time?
Now I'm not saying that it can't be different and that you can't do it. I'm just trying to tell you that based on past performance and human nature it's not that likely.
So what do I recommend instead? Am I advising you to go miserably through the festive period on a diet?
No, of course not! I just want you to think about trying this....
Instead of expecting perfection from yourself after a particular target date you've set in your mind (whether it be Monday, New Year or after your business trip) why not start to gently change your habits one by one right now?
Start with portion sizes. Cut down the amount on your plate a little. Stop eating when you're full. Start becoming aware of How MUCH you're eating. Can you do that right from today without any real hardship? Of course you can!
Once you're OK with that, start thinking about what it is you're putting into your mouth. Could you make your food more healthful? Could you find some recipes that are both delicious and good for you? Could you make better choices when you do the grocery shopping? Of course you can!
At the same time find every opportunity you can to move a little more. Not by going for a full gym program if that's not something you relish doing for the rest of your life but by moving more at home, in the office, at lunchtime and getting yourself out and about at the weekend.
Nothing drastic there - no major shift in LBD to LAD (Life before diet to life after diet) but a gradual setting yourself on the right path and getting into habits you can keep up for the rest of your life no matter whether its November, December or January.
Who knows, by 2007 you may not even have to bother with a weight loss resolution. You can just carry on gradually adapting your lifestyle into a healthier slimmer future for the rest of your life.
