Happy Spring!

Regardless of what any of you may be celebrating today it is still that time of year that represents a "rebirth"  or new beginning of some kind. Maybe some of you still need to work on that old resolution from last January. Maybe you have just decided to do something healthier for your health. This new beginning is what the traditional Easter egg originally represented. (Sorry, I'm still not sure what the bunny had to do with all this.)

It reminds me actually of the old saying, "If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again." Never before it is it more applicable as it is in losing weight. But the reality is, new beginnings are essential to success in weight management. Most successful dieters can tell you they failed many times before they were successful at losing and maintaining their weight for the long term. For speedier results though I would suggest you put time limits on your goals using the Smart Goals technique of losing weight.
