Take the "Healthy" Out of Your Life

Summer time is coming around and you've decided that it's time to get ready for swimsuit season. After all that little belly pudge from Thanksgiving and Christmas isn't going anywhere. So you've made a resolution to eat better, excercise more and just generally be healthier. Things are going great for a couple of weeks... then you go to a party and your friend has made your favorite double-chocolate chip cookies (or whatever your particular temptation may be) and you decide to indulge yourself just this once. So, you have one cookie....okay two... wait, it was actually three. But if you count the really small one it was four. But actually, you grabbed one as you were heading out the door as well... so that's... five double-chip chocolate cookies. When you get home you've got a small stomach ache and big guilty conscience. After all, you're supposed to be practicing healthy living! You just ruined it! How dare you! You were doing so well and now you've blown it to bits, might as well give up.

Does this situation sound familiar to you? Too many people put all their energy into a resolution, into being "healthy" and then when they fall off the bandwagon they become incredibly discouraged and simply quit. It's a common mistake. This article is going to help you avoid that pitfall. Right now is the perfect time for it too. It's late in March so many people have already gone through this routine with their New Year's resolution and many people are getting ready to practice the same routine again as they try to ready for swimsuit season. This time, you can break the healthy/guilt habit.
