This Sparked Me!

Look at the bigger picture for the New Year! No need to focus on the numbers on the scale. If you commit to trying a healthier life style for atleast 30 days, results will be even more satisfying, enforcing, and encouraging! I committed to to experimenting with a vegetarian life style for the next 40 days! What have you done?

    You are so wise to take care of changing your life style at your age. I sure wish I hadn't wasted half my life being obese. But I've taken control at the age of 58 and I know with my changes I've got at least another 30 years ahead of me.

Keep up the good work and keep Sparkin'

    Yes! Change of lifestyle. This is the trick. I have always thought of the weight itself. I have learned a differant way that is to look at it as lifestyle and being healthy and the rest will follow! emoticon

    Changing lifestyle is the cure, rather than a treatment of symptoms. It is far better to take the longer, more complicated road and build in habits and conditions that will enhance your LIFE, rather than simply diet and change a dress size (which may or may not stick around long-term).
