I have a love, hate relationship with January and the New Year. In my personal life, I love New Years, although I set goals throughout the year, New Years just feels like a fresh new beginning. I also love the countdown to midnight, saying goodbye to the year past, and having hopes and dreams of what is yet to come in the New Year. All things are possible in the New Year.
So what is there not to like? I am disheartened each year when I see all the diet commercials and new diets on the market. I am also saddened to see all the new people at the gym that I know will be paying out a contract for a year or more even though they will not be using the facility after mid-February if they make it that long. Luckily, 3% of those people that were so excited to lose weight, get fit, and change their lives will stay on board. That is something!
As for the people starting diets in January, most will fail to succeed in their goals. Even if they manage to lose weight, they will gain it back, because they went on yet another magical diet, instead of working to live a healthy lifestyle and learning new healthy behaviors. I know it is difficult, but if you have been struggling with your weight, been on the roller coaster of weight loss and weight gain, and still are considering another diet, STOP. Why not do something healthy this time? Why not hold a healthy weight for life?
If you have been living on a diet roller coaster and are sick and tired of losing the weight just to gain it back contact me.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support you.

With Karen's education and eighteen years experience in the preventative health, nutrition, and fitness fields and personal experience battling weight, she could not ignore the growing obesity epidemic, especially after the announcement by the surgeon general stating, this would be the first generation to die before their parents due to obesity. This is not a legacy Karen wants to leave behind.
