Sorting Out Dieting Possibilities

Here it is the morning of Thanksgiving. My pies are made. My turkey is in the oven and I am having the inevitable thoughts of how I am going to lose the weight I am going to gain in the weeks ahead (never mind the fact that it would be easier not to gain the weight to begin with...that's a whole different post!)

I wish there was some type of Miracle burn. You know a pill I could take and instantly the fat would dissolve overnight and I would be the skinny person that is inside of me dying to get out. But, since that hasn't been invented yet, there is always the struggle over which diet to choose.

I honestly believe Weight Watchers or any sensible eating plan is the way to go. Diet pills can help with the process. But in the end it boils down to sensible eating. The problem is that with all the enticing foods out there, most of us don't want to eat sensibly. We want to be able to eat as much of those tasty dishes as we can and still be skinny too!

So, as you are looking ahead at a month full of parties and goodies, consider this...first, try to contain yourself (this is advice to myself but if it helps you, that's even better). If you don't gain it, then you don't have to lose it in January. But if that fails there are two sure fire things you can do to help you lose weight....eat less and exercise more!

Happy Thanksgiving!
