Most of the people in my circle have at some point in life dealt with wanting to lose some extra pounds.  I myself am there a lot of days, however I admit some days more than others.  But I saw this and for those of us that have been on the “diet” bandwagon in the past and fell off…a bunch, I’ve been thinking, at least for myself, I think I’m going to just give up on diets.  I’m not meaning give up on my health but diets have left me feeling like I’m depriving myself.  And I don’t want to go through life, every day feeling that way.  I saw recently where researchers have found where if you gain a little weight at you age it looks like those that do tend to live longer than those that stay super skinny there whole lives.  But the one thing I found really interesting that spoke to me, was just make small changes every week or even take it a month at a time and get use to the new “normal” if you will if you do choose a heather lifestyle.  In my mind that seems to be a wiser way to go.  Because after all, isn’t a new improved lifestyle what we are going for?  I mean who wants to stay on a diet the rest of there lives?  I sure as heck don’t.  So from here on out, for me, no more diets, just trying to make little changes every week or so and let’s see where that road will lead.  Hopefully to a nice juicy cheeseburger, at least every now and then.
