Drop the Weight Before 搕he Ball?Drops

There抯 no reason to wait for the New Year before you begin a healthier way of life. If you抮e like the countless others who have stalled their diet plans to coincide with the beginning of a New Year抯 resolution, why not start your focus on losing inches around that waistline right now?

CNN recently reported that the holiday season could have quite a detrimental effect on the health of your heart. Whether you抮e knocking back too many glasses of that holiday 揷heer,?or merely snacking on too many of those decorated cookies, overindulging in the calories of the season could be the thing to push you over a healthy plateau and towards the hard-to-climb canyon of obesity.

A 2004 study by researches at the University of California, San Diego and Tufts University found that heart-related deaths increase by nearly five percent during the holidays, according to CNN, and this year抯 added stress stemming from the recession and the nation抯 economic woes may turn out a more devastating result than in years past.

The surprising thing about losing weight is that most people don抰 realize how much better they抣l feel about themselves, and how that translates to better handling the personal stresses of day-to-day life. That抯 right梩hose who think that a new diet will only further complicate their lives couldn抰 be further from the truth.

So, why not start concentrating on losing weight and losing fat today? You can start small by first focusing to lose 10 pounds, before eventually bumping that plan up to lose 30 pounds or more when you抮e confident enough to do so.

But beware those fad diets lurking in the corner, just waiting to take advantage of your New Year抯 weight loss plans. Those companies have their own goals of cashing in on your diet plans. And by cashing in, I mean a lot桟NN reported that an estimated 80 million Americans go on diets every year, spending more than $30 billion annually on programs and products.

When it comes time to counting down the last seconds of this year, are you going to be thinking about what you抳e accomplished, or dwelling on the stresses of next year? One thing抯 for sure梑egin thinking about a weight loss plan that抣l work for you. By this time next year, you could be staring in the mirror at a healthier YOU!
