Words of Wisdom

Here's a quote from a wise young mother on stress and weight and happiness:


"And let us not forget that stress is one of the big reasons why we gain weight. So if we can find happy moments or places every day to help relieve stress, it will be easier to lose weight. Like the article yesterday about being happy. If we're happy, we'll be less likely to get stressed. If we can look at the positive instead of the negative, turn a bad situation into good or not so bad, that can help to. Yes, easier said than done! But that's one of my New Year's Resolutions. TO BE HAPPY! No, I'm not depressed or sad. But I want to be more outgoing and be one of those kind of people that I always want to hang out with. Not the downer that I tend to be now. It's so easy to get into the habit of always complaining. And I don't want to be that anymore. I want to be happy and helpful and postive, without being extreme. I want to like my kids more and enjoy being with them. I want them to be happier and kinder to each other. So I guess it starts with me!"
