Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Maureen McCormack is the latest celebrity to announce a major backslide. In last weeks' People Magazine she talked about losing 34 pounds while appearing on Celebrity Fit Club only to have regained 43.

My first thought, and I don't think I'm too far off base, was that she didn't do it for the right reasons. I could be wrong. I'm sure she did want to lose the weight but she wasn't really committed to making the lifestyle changes that go with it. She participated, possibly, for the attention and notoriety and a chance to get back in the spotlight.

Now, she has also recently admitted to past life of drug use and such so I applaud her for kicking those habits. It also says to me that when she is ready to tackle the weight problem, REALLY tackle it, she has a wonderful chance at success since she has proven herself in the past.

I wish her luck.

As I do all of us as we work towards our goals, or maintaining them once we reach them. If you really get your head in the game and approach this quest mentally first and then physically, I feel certain you will get there.

Now, go have a great day!
