Dieting and New Year Resolutions....

Dieting. Why? Why do people run around looking for the perfect diet and then spends tons of money on them only to fall three weeks off the so called "band wagon"? Well I tell you why, because most of them decided that their new years resolutions would be to lose wait and fit in those perfect jeans, some how be walking down the street and meet a famous producer, get casted in a movie and make lots of money..........er...uhm...wait that was my thoughts, most just want to lose weight and rightly so, in today's medical reports it is a proven fact that extra weight can cause heart disease and other diseases.
However the problem does not lie in the persons intentions, as the saying goes the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions, but instead on the person inability to stick to the program.
Think about, well, actually let me give you an example of what I am talking about from my own personal experience.
You see I have agreed to diet with my wife this year, now gentlemen stop your laughing and realize that part of being intimate with one's spouse is participating together in different activities. Anyhoooo, so here I am starting this diet, nope it is not my idea of fun.
Especially during the major football season when it should be on every man's main course to have chili, hotdogs, fries, pizza, nacho chips, and salsa, root beer or beer and a huge tv. However, after looking at myself in the mirror I realized I have to do something about that buddha! Along comes my wife:)
Anyways here I am at work eating broccoli when the announcement come across the desk, "the third floor has bear claws and chocolate truffles for free!" Oh man, well I can do without the truffles but the bear claws? Nope not going to do it, instead I enjoy the great tasting broccoli and then it happens... Free food in the conference room!! At least I must go and check it out, but wait if I do that will I not be forced into temptation?
Again I come back to most diets do not work because everywhere we look there is advertisement for food. While watching the National College Football Championship game on Monday(LSU and Ohio), my wife and I had to walk away because every other commercial was about pizza, frito lays, coke or pepsi. How am I suppose to eat this piece of broccoli while looking at a pizza with cheese and sausages that just seems to jump through the TV and say, "Hey big boy, want to be friends?"
Yet, here I am again, listening on the radio how important it is to lose weight and to eat healthy, and I say to those of us out there trying to eat right, keep it going! Dont make your new resolution to lose weight, instead make it a life goal! And to those who would like us to buy a ten dollar pizza that is oozing with cheese and sausages, I say keep up the good work:) Now what did I do with that coupon....................................
