A new month. September. We are actually in the months leading to the holiday season. So my quest to be healthier and lose weight becomes more intense (and admittedly, more desperate). I think I need to do more green shopping and have everything steamed from now. Can I actually do it for at least three months?

Let’s see.

Here is an excerpt from an article I read over at Jillian’s site. So very apt for me.

Old habits die hard, but the good news is that they do die. Don’t lose hope or beat yourself up over it if you’re having trouble breaking bad habits. It’s not that easy to change your ways. Just keep plugging away.

Start by replacing old habits with new ones. The key is to learn how to take care of yourself and pamper yourself in ways that are life affirming rather than self-destructive. Learn how to deal with sabotaging emotions by establishing some healthy patterns of behavior and investing in your physical and emotional well-being.
