Summary: Although it is hard to imagine, there are many opportunities we can take when we've put on a few extra pounds. Don't believe me? Read on...

Five Ways to Take the Opportunity When…
Your Jeans Won't Zip.

I can't think of any one that hasn't experienced a little extra weight gain from time to time. No need to get upset over a few extra pounds, instead, look at it from the positive.

1. Now you have that extra oomph to begin that exercise regimen you've been thinking about. Take the opportunity to make a habit of exercise.

2. This is a great time to experiment with that "low fat" cookbook your aunt gave you five years ago. Take the opportunity to learn how to cook five healthy dinners.

3. Get a physical. This is the perfect opportunity to evaluate what types of overall lifestyle changes you can to make!

4. Look at yourself completely naked in the mirror and do so until you can confirm that your weight doesn't make you, and that you love yourself no matter how many love handles you have. This is the perfect opportunity to resolve to loose the weight for your health, not your self love.

5. Go out and buy some new clothes. This is the perfect opportunity to feel great while getting back into shape.

*Come up with reasons of your own to be happy about that extra weight. Find ways to maintain that happiness while you're getting yourself back to your optimal health. A healthy body is better then a skinny body!
