And I for one am glad of it.
One more month closer to spring, when it will be easier to get out and about and get some exercise out of doors... for those of us who aren't interested in winter sports!
It's been a while since I've posted here and I apologize.
So, let's take stop. Step on the scale today and see how your weight loss program is going. If you've been sloughing off, rededicate yourself to getting fit, and as a byproduct, losing weight.
Getting fit is *the* key, managing weight is a bonus that comes with that fun task.

Soup is a good meal
Soup can be a good meal. The liquid feels the belly and keeps you full longer, and all the food you put in it can make a good meal - from chicken to beef, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms... or if you like tomatoes or things of that nature, put them all in as well.
Don't be afraid to make enough soup for several days. Soup - along with most meals, always tastes better the second day, as all the flavors have had enough time to coalesce.
Check out your local library or book store for cookbooks that focus on soups.

Holidays over, time to get to work
Well, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are over.
No more temptations to over-eat because of never ending food-commercials, or holiday parties given on a daily basis, etc.
You've made your New Year's Resolutions, right?
So, time to start making them come true.
If you break one or another of them, that's no need to abandon them! Remember that resolutions are a process - just like everything in life is a process.
Be patient, work toward your goals, and you will achieve them.

Don't give in to depression
Most people overeat for one of two reasons. They're either bored or they're depressed. (And if they're bored, they're probably depressed to be bored.)
One way to prevent yourself from eating while you're bored or depressed (and I'm talking about normal depression, not clinical depression) is to get out of the house. Not to go to a mall or some place that has food, but to a book store, or to a place where you can walk and get some exercise.
Substitute other activities for eating. Take a nice hot bath or something of that nature, if it's too cold to go outside. Put on a record with some cheerful music and dance. Anything to get the blood flowing and your lips turning upward.
