What can you do to your appearance that will make you happier? People are often dissatisfied with their weight. Take the Dr. Oz show, for example. How many diet changes has he shown? There always seems to be a new diet fad. What was important a few years ago--cholesterol levels--is now less important. Eggs were bad; now they are good. Now we need to go on a paleo diet and get rid of all gluten. It's a little confusing. What to do?
Just change something.
Buy a new shirt or dress--something different for you. Perhaps a brighter color or unusual pattern will make you smile.
Change your hair style. Add bangs to update your look. (I love bangs and had no idea they were ever out of style!)
Go to the gym. That's really important. It can change your life in a good way. If you exercise regularly, you won't need to go on a diet. For years, I've taken classes at least three times a week. If you attend a class, that will keep you on a schedule that you are more likely to stick to. Vary the kinds of classes, if possible. I take yoga, tabata, and zumba. I also play tennis.

Not satisfied with your life, then change something. Do what you always wanted to do, but never dared try. Take up skydiving, join a bridge club, take art lessons, join a theatrical group.
Just change something. You'll be glad.

That's right! Want to be thinner or healthier? Then change something. Change what you eat and how much you exercise. (And make the change part of your lifestyle, not a temporary quick fix.)
I think it is fear that keeps people in a dissatisfied state. Fear of change. Fear of failure. Fear of loss or of being alone. Good post, Monti!
I think you are so right for saying this. I am guilty of always saying I want things to change, but I always seem to forget that I am the one that is supposed to make the changes. Thank you for reminding me.
You're right, Alex. You have to make a lifestyle change. I recommend the gym which is a great fix in many ways! Thanks for your visit.
Karen,thanks! Fear of change is a biggie. Change is one thing for certain in our lives. Go to the gym. You won't be alone!!!
It's hard to make changes, Murees. If you try just one little change, that's a good start!
