Resolve

"When there is a will, there is a way."

I have been reading some dieting and juicing books recently. It all comes down to resolve and determination. Dieting is a fifty-fifty proposition: 50 percent will and 50 percent won't. When you decide not to drive down the wrong way on a one way street, you decide there and then based on the fear that your new pearl necklace won't fit around a neck brace.

So many times have these diets promised results without effort. A "healthy" snack bar 3 times a day is all it takes, your favourite chocolate shake for every meal, drink nothing else but "diet" coke, etc. Don't be fooled by these types of fad diets. Changing your diet means to change your way of life. And that will take some resolve. You'll have to decide to change the way you think about food, about comfort, about yourself.

Saying no to food will be the easy part. Saying yes to new attitudes, new disciplines, new life habits-that's the hard part. It's a New You resolution, not a New Year's resolution. So getting started is a "will" thing.
