7 Top Weight Loss Resources


Weight loss tends to always rank in the top 3 of new year resolutions. I have been among the many who swear "This will be the year                   ". You fill in the blank. I had said the following:

 This will be the year I achieve my best body! (I already had a great body)
This will be the year I lose my belly! (I have never had a "belly")
This will be the year I workout every day and eat healthy. (What a miserable life!)
This will be the year I get a six pack. (Why?? Why did I want a six pack?)

 This will be the year..... I could go on and on but you see the trend. It has always revolved around my weight and body image. One year I did achieve success in losing weight and gaining muscle and confidence. That year was the beginning of my health obsession. Over the past 10 years I have battled with finding a balance with food and exercise. Fortunately I found the field of dietetics while I was in college and it gave me valuable resources that saved me from a deeper disordered eating and exercise pattern. I want to share some of those resources with you all today. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask above all seek guidance from a dietitian in your area.
