Anyone else terrified of Thanksgiving
I think sometimes we hae the wrong idea about food. When we forbid food, we want it more. Our problems is the overeating and failure to modify our eating habits. I would eat a few bites of what you really want on Thanksgiving and be okay with it as long as you dont over eat. If you take a bite of something and it isn't hitting the spot, stop eating it. Don't wast calorie intake ont things you don't really want.

Time: Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin
I have heard it was 80% diet 20% exercise. This is what I do know for me that exercise alone, I don't lose weight. Diet alone I can lose weight. The combination of two and I mean the the combination of a good diet and exercise will speed up the weight loss. My goal right now is to focus on two things, watch my eating habits and increase my metabolism. Since I am 41, the best way to do that is weight training. I let you guys know how that works for me as this is my first week.

Diet Soda
Okay, I am considering giving up diet soda. I usually only have one a day so I don't think I am soda crazy, but I wonder if for health reasons if it would be better to eliminate diet soda since there is nothing nutritional in a can of diet soda. Any thought anyone?
