Like I mentioned in a previous post, there’s no quick fix to losing weight. Sure there are sites that offer the best diet pills on the market, but how many are effective without causing serious harm to your body? It’s a risk and probably not worth it in the end.

It only took me so many trial and errors, not to mention years, to come to the conclusion that so many people already know. If you want to lose weight, you have to eat right and live an active lifestyle.

Not lounging around in bed all day, sitting at your computer for long periods of time, or even being a potato couch. It’s all about going out, exercising, and having a good time. (not too much of a good time either hahaha).

It’s sometimes difficult to grasp and achieve especially if you have a busy and stressful life as it is…but it really is the only way to not take serious risks that will put your life in jeopardy.

Sure you can slim down quick with some kind of weight loss surgery…but the risks of that are unbelievable no matter if people say it’s slim to none. There’s ALWAYS risks whenever you have surgery for whatever reasons.

Try to stay positive no matter what route you go, but always remember that to lose weight..you gotta work for it. There’s no quick fix or magic wand.

I’ve seen some blog posts people have recently written where they got personalized books for their children. I thought that was such a cool idea!

I might have to get one for my nephew with his name in it so I can read it to him. He loves books now even though he’s just over a year now. Whenever you tell him “story time”, he runs over and grabs a book then comes to sit on your lap. It’s sooo cute!!

Then he sits there looking at the pictures and even helps turning the pages. Man…babies grow up too fast!!

Have any of you made new year resolutions this year? I’m sure the top of anyone’s list would be losing weight.

Sure you can go out and buy all the diet pills out there…but will they really work without affecting your body in other ways?

I try not to take the chance which is why I have only tried one kind for about a few days. I couldn’t get into it to be honest. There wasn’t any commitment there no matter how much I wanted to slim down.

So I’m looking at other ways such as doing it the hard but effective way of working out at a gym and eating healthier.

I’ve made no big decisions yet as to when I want to star this routine, but it’s coming…soon…as soon as I finish with some personal struggles other than weight loss.
