no more diets

Happy New Year everyone!  It’s usually around this time every year that I encourage and empower people to, instead of gearing up to set goals in opposition to oneself (New Year’s Resolutions), especially as it pertains to exercise and dietary habits - to actually commit to spending a whole year without being on some kind of diet.  Instead of writing some passionate essay about it, I defer to what is arguably the most popular post I’ve ever written – Weight Fixation: “Waist” of Time. 2012 was a big year.  Just last week I was reading through an old book of mine, and it was like I was reading the writing of a stranger.  It made me think about just how far I’ve come since the days of paddling through the sea of conflicting ideas and… Read more »
