For Your Closet (and Self-Esteem)

Best Resolution: To buy a new outfit you feel great in.
Being preoccupied with how clothing fits may be associated with "disordered eating and an overevaluation of weight and shape," a Yale study reports. Why not let clothing be empowering?

Worst Resolution: To stop buying clothes until you lose weight.
"So often women deprive themselves of any pleasure while they try to change their bodies. It is punitive, and there's nothing like a sense of deprivation to trigger binge eating," says body-image expert Margo Maine, PhD, author of The Body Myth.

Definitely the best time of year to get healthy and make better choices! I'm clean up my life starting with my diet and the foods I eat as well. I'm going to eat more nutritious and healthier foods by following the Eat-Clean Diet, just finished reading Tosca Reno's book on the Eat-Clean Diet and this is how I'm kick-starting 2010, by eating clean and working out more! I didn't buy that gym membership card to take up space in my purse; it's time right now to get going! Good luck to all! :)
