Love Your Body
Ask any
woman you know how she feels about her body—no matter what her weight, and get
ready for an earful. Odds are, she'll launch into a laundry list of what she
doesn't like about her looks. For some the big problem is the tummy pooch from
her second pregnancy. They say it's been
two years and the bulge still don’t go
away. "My belly is so embarrassing,It makes me feel sloppy and
uncomfortable with myself." Sometimes they rather just stay home in baggy sweats than go
out. And their self-consciousness is also taking a toll in the bedroom.
"It's very hard for me to feel at ease getting intimate with my husband
because of how I look," they admit.
Whether it's occasional or
constant, nearly every woman struggles with the way she feels about her body. A
Cornell University study found that 87% of normal-weight women wish they were a
size smaller. The vast majority of women have what's called normative discontent—dissatisfaction
with the size and or shape of their
bodies, even if it's just a wish for flatter abs or a rounder butt.
In fact, tummy, hips and thighs
top our most-hated list—and that's true whether we're 25 or 65, according to
research published in the journal The New School Psychology
Bulletin. What else
is on that list of dislikes? Everything from the bump on your nose to your size
10 feet.
One
thing all these complaints have in common: They can do a real number on your
self-esteem. When you hate such an integral part of who you are, it can have a
profound effect on your confidence, even leading to depression and eating
disorders. In effect, you start to believe what you think you see in the mirror.
You begin to like yourself less, which makes you feel uncomfortable in social
situations, ill at ease sexually and a lot less assertive.

Health tip # 19
It's important to be involved in some sort of fitness social support web. If you are currently in a regime with no fitness community, you may find that your workouts are lacking or not that successful. A social support can bring a greater sense of camaraderie, kinship and even healthy competition. If you normally workout alone at home, try visiting a gym for a sample workout, or joining a yoga, Pilates or sailing class. Running clubs and golf courses are other ways to keep in shape and meet new people.

Avoid Gaining Weight This Holiday Season
...While Still Enjoying Your Holiday
I know what you are thinking
– the holidays are a time for fun and indulgence. You don’t want to think about
fitness during that time. You want to enjoy yourself. Don’t worry! The
festivities don’t have to be eliminated or avoided. You can have a fabulous
time while also maintain your weight and your fitness regime.
The secret to achieving a
holiday season that is both full of fun and also includes fitness is found in
moderation. There are two typical approaches to the seasonal festivities: 1)
throw all healthy habits out the window and indulge in every guilty pleasure 2)
starve and binge approach (for example, you eat nothing all day long to allow
yourself to overindulge in party food). Of course, neither approach is
successful at maintaining a healthy, fit lifestyle throughout the holiday
season. But some how we should manage, because holidays should not be a
disaster for our health.
As mentioned above, the key
is found in moderation. With a moderate approach both to what you eat and how
much exercise you do, you can avoid packing on extra weight and also take part
in all the fun of the season.
Here Are Some Tips On
Maintaining Your Health And Fitness:
Create
a plan ahead of time. Before
the holidays sneak up on you, create a plan for incorporating fitness and good
nutrition into your daily routine. Evaluate your holiday schedule and then
determine how much time you will realistically have available to devote to
working out and/or eating healthy meals.
On the day of a party, be sure to eat regularly all day long. If the party is in the evening, eat breakfast, lunch and a snack before hand. Once you are at the party, go ahead and indulge in some of the fun, delicious foods. Since you have eaten meals earlier in the day, you probably will find that you aren’t tempted to go overboard and eat everything in sight. However, if you starve all day long attempting to save up all your calories for the party, you will be so famished by the time it begins that it will be difficult not to overeat.
Schedule your workouts. Mark them on the calendar and set-aside time to complete them. Consider them as important as any other appointment or event you have marked on your calendar.
When at a party, start by eating some of the healthy offerings. For example, vegetable sticks , fruit pieces, plain chicken pieces, etc. Then move on to some of the less healthy offerings. You will be less likely to overindulge on these foods if you have already filled-up on some of the healthier items. Yet, you will not feel deprived or unsatisfied.
On days that you really lack motivation or simply do not have time for your complete exercise routine, commit to do just 10 minutes of exercise. You’ll probably end up doing more than that once you get started. Even if you only end up completing 10 minutes, that is still a lot better than zero minutes.
When presented with a large variety of food options, it’s tempting to want to eat everything. Rather than eating one large slice of chocolate cake or a huge plate of meatballs, select a sampling of bite size pieces of several of the desert or appetizer offerings. This way you get the enjoyment of trying many different foods without overeating.
Exercise at home. You’ll be more inclined to follow-through on your exercise commitment if you don’t have to drive somewhere to do your workout. Plus, you won’t waste any time on driving, parking, the locker room or waiting to use equipment. Working out at home requires very little equipment (even can be equipment-free) and is quite inexpensive.
Avoid wasting calories on alcoholic beverages. The average alcoholic drink contains 150-200 calories per glass. Indulge in just 2-3 drinks and you’ve drunk the equivalent calories of an entire meal. If you partake in these beverages, choose wisely. For example, instead of having a full glass of wine, try mixing half a glass of wine with sparkling water or with a diet cola. This will help cut your calories in half.
When running errands or shopping be sure to pack some healthy snacks to have on-hand. Then after you work-up a big appetite, you won’t be tempted to grab something at the mall food court or the fast food restaurant on the way home.
Hopefully these tips will help you find a balance between staying fit and also enjoying the fun of the season. Remember, moderation is the key.
Have a great holiday season!
