I decided I would not diet during the holidays this year. I ate too much pie for sure but what I noticed the most was how bad I felt while I was overeating. I have been working on losing the weight I gained and feel so much better. I attribute sugar with the cause of feeling badly and fatigue. Sometimes I think it is good for us to overindulge to realize that's not where we want to be in our healthy living to get back on track and stay on track.

I would like to pass along something my doctor prescribed for me because I am high-risk for cancer. My mother died of cancer when she was thirty and her sister had to have a mastectomy due to cancer. There is a drug called Evista that used to be used for osteoporosis and is now being used for the prevention of breast cancer. If you know anyone who is at risk for breast cancer, you may want to tell them about Evista or to ask their doctor about it.

An important part of healthy dieting and fitness is to be yourself and not try to be or model someone else. Ask yourself, am I dieting for better health or just trying to fit the mold of thin is beautiful. You do not have to be thin to be a beautiful person. What matters is that you are trying the best you can to make better choices in your life for better health in all areas, spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional. Sometimes we are our own worst critics so take the challenge of only thinking positive thoughts about yourself and your progress. Find something to change what you are doing if it is not working for you and find the positive within you. You will surprise yourself about how much better you will feel about yourself and what you are accomplishing each day if you are positive.
