Weight of the New Year

Author's Note: My piece on New Years Resolutions was written to inform readers about the concerns of American Citizens to reach a healthy weight. Most Americans dedicated their resolutions for just this, which is worth writing about.

The typical American Citizen, is concerned about their weight. They may be severely obese and should focus on losing some, or unfortunately cursed with a high metabolism and try to gain a few pounds. As our population continues to grow, so does the passion for healthy lifestyles. My mother, father, grandparents, and our guests on the eve of New Years, devoted their 2012 resolutions to a better body. The words "exercise", "salads", and "stairs" all floated in and out of our conversations from 11 to midnight. After the ball dropped I could see the sad faces around the room. Visions of ice cream sundaes drenched in hot fudge were replaced with a pedometer with an unreasonable amount of steps on them. A hard year it would be for those whose progress was successful; welcome to 2012.
