A New Year….a year filled with promises,resolutions,hope,new attitude,new habits,exercise classes,new gym memberships,big budget plans…shall I go on? If only our strong will carried us beyond January! Well, let’s be honest we all want to better ourselves….I will share a quote from Oprah Winfrey,” anyone who struggles with their weight knows it’s not just about the weight,it’s about something bigger”….I have often asked myself and honestly still do….Why is it so hard for folks like Oprah? She has a chef,a trainer,a therapist and anything else she may need to help her through this battle ….all at her finger tips! Yet the struggle lives on..why ? Well, this just proves to us that it goes beyond..way beyond! I do feel that if I had all of those benefits I would get to my goal ….I really, really do.So what is the problem? So many actors and television personalities out there suffer greatly..to name a few..Oprah Winfrey,Kirstie Alley,Randy Jackson,Al Roker,Ricki Lake,Valerie Bertinelli,Kathy Bates,Aretha Franklin,John Goodman,Rosie O’Donnell,Drew Carey….the list is endless! This goes way beyond and maybe one day we will find the answers.For today we must remain hopeful and positive and never look back at yesterday as yesterday is gone..My therapist once said to me what counts is that we don’t stop trying! Never give up! Let’s visualize what we want for ourselves and how we want  to feel…..make it happen.Nothing but nothing tastes better than success. Thank you for allowing me to share my most personal thoughts.You are not alone.Please remain hopeful.We could all do this together ! Let’s cheer each other on….Go Go Go!!!! Remember if we fail to plan,we plan to fail….
