weight loss and Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to all...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak with a doctor from Sweden and we were discussing the weight problem in America as opposed to her country. She told me that people in her country can eat high-caloric foods in moderation, such as ice cream, but they tend to exercise much more allowing for the high-caloric foods to not adversely impact on the weight.

I think there is much more to this, as I have mentioned previously, a person can undo 6 great days of watching food intake and exercise by losing control one day and eating lots of high-caloric foods or drinking alcohol. I do believe that there are genetic varibles to some extent that dictate metabolic issues which impact on weight. Certain people/groups cannot get away with eating ice cream, pie, drinking alcohol etc. without suffering negative impact on weight issues.

Okay...back to the title....Valentines Day: Hopefully your loved ones did NOT buy you candies and other sabotaging food sources as a show of love for Valentines Day. If they did, do not succumb to the temptation...these are not "sweets, treats or goodies"...anything that makes you less healthy and less happy is a saboteur and treat it as such...give it away to a person who has no weight problems. If going out to lunch or dinner, make those food choices smart ones that are compatible with your quest to become healthier and happier.
