With the New Year, the hopes for a clean slate and a brighter future, weight loss resolutions still remain the most popular ones made. Losing weight as a resolution has sort of become tainted, it feels, like if you make it your resolution, you’re likely to fail.

You’ve seen lots of ads and posts and promises of losing weight this month, since this is considered the “busy” season of the year. As a health coach who helps menopausal women improve their overall health and longevity, it is something I always have to talk about. I love what I do and helping women discover simple changes that get them results, but I hate the focus on weight.⁣
