Avoid tempting yourself and others with gifts that give the wrong message. A prominent card company asks if you "care enough to send the best", well let me ask this: "Do you care enough about others to give health promoting gifts?"
Even if you are a last minute shopper, stay out of the candy aisle. Why give your friends more fatty junk foods that compromise their health? Dash over to the exercise section in a discount retailer or go to a sports store.
Here are 10 health promoting gift options for men or women:
Heart rate monitor - Pedometer - Yoga mat with carry bag -
Pilates, Yoga or Weight training DVD - Hand held weights -
Reusable water bottle - Personal trainer gift certificate
Gym bag -Weight gloves - Gift Card for Sports Equipment Store
Make your own healthy gift "wish list" as the ideal gift choices for you at any occasion during the year. Chances are if you tell friends and family exactly what you need for weight loss motivation, you'll receive it. If you don't, you might get that box of candy with 10,000 calories and twice that much frustration.
Start by giving health promoting gifts. That shows you are serious about health. When you are sincere about reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, then you'll gain even more support from people around who see this not as another fad but a positive lifestyle change.
