Should we make loosing weight our New Year resolution?

This is what I`ve found at the New Year, as an inspiration, to think differently about our healthy lifestyle and what fuelled my desire to share this especially with women and appeal to them is don`t buy mock dreams!

You already have the dream about being accepted, esteemed, admired but there is a small thing in the way of that becoming reality.
You feel uneasy about your weight, you worry about your entire image when comparing yourself to the ideals created by show business, the fashion world and media in general and then this is adapted by the current culture as if it is the only proper way to think.

Even girls from early years are fed by Barbie`s model which often creates an obssessive approach to their own figure. Instead of being taught rules of healthy behaviour and thankfulness for their body`s potential and beauty as it, is they get clothes and accessories inappropriate for their age. Girls and teenagers obtain gifts which they think make dreams come true, but not their own ones, but ones created by the world where money matters, and there is not a true care about the physical and mental wellbeing of their young people.

If anybody considers their weight as too big/litlle and is going to make a little New Year resolution relating to desire to change it, should he/she start rather with altering their profound attitude towards his/her body?

How could you build anything valuable and lasting when you have distaste for the object of your effort? How many months or weeks can you persevere working for somebody you dislike and don`t accept? How can you reach a goal when being disqualified from starting? Isn`t this the first thing to do - find that entire you, that you are worth love, not to be punished?

What small steps can you make to show yourself that?


Read the article which has inspired me to to write about the New Year resolution:
Several years have passed since "Soul Surfer" Bethany Hamilton's book "Body and Soul" was first published and yet it continues to inspire countless people with its message of health and positivity.

The new mom recently shared a photo of her book and writes, "Honored to encourage girls and women in their overall health and faith with my book #BodyandSoul!"

"Living healthy is very important to me and a great passion of mine. I cherish my health and I'm grateful to be alive and well. We all have to find what works for us in our daily life..." she wrote.

When she got pregnant early last year, Hamilton lived by her beliefs. She promoted a healthy pregnancy by constantly exercising and eating good food.

After giving birth, Hamilton acknowledged that her body has changed. She encouraged other women who are conscious about their post-birth bodies not to feel depressed about it.

"I've seen many comments on 'her post birth body.' I find it silly for us as women to worry about our body as we grow a human being inside of us! It is such an amazing feat to go through pregnancy. And then you have this wonderful lil being that is part you and part of your significant other. It's natural and HEALTHY to gain weight," she said.

To prove her point, Hamilton shared a photo of herself wearing her surf suit with her belly bulging out. "Here I am two months after giving birth to Tobias," she said. "I feel great and healthy! It takes 9 months for our bodies to change and grow. So I can say it's alright to take your time, maybe about 9 months, to get back to the new, healthy, beautiful, and normal you."

Bethany Hamilton, seen here two months after giving birth to firstborn son Tobias Dirks, is embracing the curves that her pregnancy brought about and is encouraging other women not to be obsessed about losing their pregnancy weight.
