Most people are back in school or work today, and are struggling to come to terms with the realities of a dark and wet january! Add to this the increase in VAT, increase in rail fees, national insurance and the cost of just about everything going up right across the board. People as a result are likely to spend less as a result so George Osborne better know something we don’t, just as soon as he’s come back from his £11,000 skiing holiday. On average, there must be many conservative and liberal voters reading this so you can’t really complain, as you knew this in advance. The Americans on the other hand are spending their way out of this crisis, and according to most analysts and economists, it seems to be working! Whatever side of the fence you’re on, hope everything works out well for you this year!!!!
To avoid turning this into such political debate, this is an excellent time to prioritise your money into healthy quality foods and not waste it on alcohol and fast food full of sugar and saturated fat. What a perfect excuse to get into shape and give yourself a flying start into january!!
Times like these dictate that your spending gets scrutinised more than ever before, so every penny counts so give yourself an old test to see if you’re spending wisely. If the food you puchase is natural and good for you, then its worth buying because its going to make you feel good, look good, give you lots more energy and therefore make you far more positive.
If you keep spending money on junk, and fill your body full of rubbish, then you must really have more money than sense, and these spending cuts are not really affecting you. As a family, its our responsibility to get as much good food in as possible, there’s no room for rubbish anymore, but theres always room for better quality foods full of high quality nutrients that are going to boost our immune system and keep us well prepared for the cold months still ahead!
This year is going to be about much more than losing weight, its going to be about being the best you can be in the harshest economic environment since the 1930’s!!! With a bit of though, it can be a huge year for you discovering what really matters!!!

There is a link here though with politics! the Tory led coalition is saying we must cut back, get slimmer and things will be ok in the long run…thats if getting slimmer leads to you being starved! The Labour Party…well im not sure what they are saying is that we must cut back, but dont diet too quickly or long term damage will be caused.. but that you wont actually diet and still pack on the pounds making recovery a non event….i think thats the analogy…which do you prefer? interesting question!! i say ignore the politicians at this moment..they are all after their own ends and not the people!

there is a political analogy here….the Tory led coalition wants to make you thin and fast…hoping that will make you better in the long run but in danger of starving you to death!! the Labour partys position isnt that clear but it may want you to get thin but slowly, perhaps allowing the odd chockie biscuit here and there…isnt it?!!
nice one, politicians as a rule only look after themselves unfortunately!
