Yes folks we are different...we will constantly change and learn. This is a good read for Mindful Eaters! Our choices...our life. Hugs Debbie

What's different this year?

Posted: 05 Jan 2011 03:15 AM PST

This time of year, I get a lot of people telling me this year won't be any different than last year.  They wanted to lose weight last year.  They made a plan last year.  They stuck to the plan last year (for a while, at least).  They workout out.  They cultivated mindfulness.  They DID ALL THAT -- LAST YEAR and here they are in the same spot.

So...based on that, "What," they ask me, "would be different about this year?"

And the only answer I can come up with is -- You are.  You are a different person than you were a year ago when you did those things.  You are older, smarter, dumber, more or less attached to a particular outcome for your life.  But one thing I know for certain -- you have changed.

And since you are the magic ingredient in the equation that means maintaining that healthy weight (or not), I am sticking to the position that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.  Only you know for sure if you are going to create mindfulness today -- it is all completely up to you.  What kind of a conversation do we want to be having next year at this time?  The creation of that conversation start with your choices today.

That's Oscar the Pug...he's not mine Oscar belongs to my BF Deb. She took my pic at her house.
I do have 3 dogs though who I just love.
Jake and Sophie are siblings, half chihuahua and half peekapoo, they are rescues then I have Ellie and she is a sheltie. They all like to be on my lap along with Charlie my cat.
Oh yes...we love our fur babies.

But Pugs are very special. Oscar can say "I love you" and he gets so excited when I come over. Deb also has a Bull Mastiff so she has the big and the small! LOL
