Welcome to FootePath: Healthy Habits
We’ve all been there. Looked in the mirror, hated what we saw. Believed that peace and contentment and love and acceptance would be ours if we could just change our bodies in some way. Lose weight, firm up, get that killer look, and the world is our oyster. If we are unhappy with ourselves or any aspect of our life, surely “losing weight” would make it better, right?
Healthy Habits joins voices with those who believe that beauty comes in all sizes, and health and fitness isn’t necessarily based on how you look. If a person is a “normal” body size but maintains this size through abusing their body, we suggest that they may want to rethink what they are doing. If the results you seek cannot be obtained through healthy habits, you will damage your health in the process, and be unable to sustain your results.
Healthy Habits is about sustainable change. We promote the radical idea that shifting the focus from “weight loss” to positive lifestyle changes will bring you joy, peace, and more fun that you ever suspected. We promote Nordic walking as a fun, good for you exercise. Our website offers information about nutrition, exercise, healthy recipes and Nordic walking. This is not a "diet plan", but a community to cheer you on as you decide what healthy habits to implement in your life. We have an online support group for celebration and encouragement. In the Salt Lake City area, we offer face-to-face education and celebration meetings. Come and join us in focusing on the positive.
The Healthy Habits program has three parts. The first is this website, which offers general information about nutrition, healthy habits, and Nordic walking. The second is the online support group. The group is called FPHH and is administered by Yahoo. Click on the JOIN OUR SUPPORT GROUP link to the left to join the group. We post more detailed information to the online group to keep the website relatively clutter-free and to not overwhelm people with information from this site. Third, our face-to-face Celebration Meeting offers a chance to meet with people on the same path. You can choose the level of involvement you wish to have.
