Bikini or Bust!

"Sustainable eating is not just about what you eat, but also how much." - Unknown

I think I have commitment issues. I made the commitment to write this blog weekly and so far...well, it has not been weekly. I have decided to focus more on developing habits rather than making commitments or trying to stick to a schedule (because I am horrible at it!) - subtle distinction I know, but it helps me! As far as this blog goes, I am going to try and get in the habit of writing shorter entries more frequently. Let's get to it:

So it is that time of year again - that time of year when all the really cute bikinis are hanging in the windows taunting women (or is it just me?) for their lack of commitment to the gym and for idulging in the finest of comfort foods over the winter. I had never consider a weight loss challenge to be an environmental challenge as well, but when I came across the quote above in a 'Body & Soul' magazine (it's a Martha Stewart publication about whole living and my favourite magazine ever!) and it got me thinking. All of our environmental problems seem to come to consumption - we humans just consume more than we need of everything including food. So ladies, next time you want to grab that extra bag of potato chips or can of pop - think of the environment. How is that for some motivation to look cute in your bikini (or your Speedo) this summer?
