The problem with the Nirvana fallacy is simple: there's NEVER a perfect solution, only shades of decisions that are better than others, and mistakes you make and can hopefully learn from. Find out more inside!

The New Year usually brings about two very common goals for most people: Getting in shape and getting their finances under control. Dieting is the number one method of achieving the first, and you may also hear much about budgeting to address the second. Here’s what I’ve learned about both, and why they’re not really all that different.

During hard times, eating cheap food may seem to make sense, but it can be more costly to us in the long run.

Forget about the fact that it's a recession. What you do now determines where you will be when the graph trends up again. What if you stopped dropping duckets like you dropped weight from dispensing with carbs? What if you misered up, stored and did without for say just one week or one two-week interval every month? What do you think of that 'Fast Money?'

You didn't think I was going to preach deprivation after my recent post on rejecting traditional resolutions, did you? Perish the thought. If going without isn't on your list of things to try this month, consider these six painless strategies for shaving calories where you won't even notice they're gone.

Facebook and other social networking sites know an awful lot about you from what you say when you first sign up. As a single woman over 30 years of age, I got tired of Facebook ads that were pitching miracle weight loss potions, and sites for lonely women over 30 ("Find the man of your dreams!").
So I became a lesbian.

Does your voice get slightly deeper and more husky as you discuss the pleasure of biting into a medium-rare steak? Do you proudly declare that you could never be a vegetarian because you "just like meat too much"? Enjoy being at the top of the food chain?
Well, you may talk the talk, but when it really comes to carnivorous cravings, let's see if you can walk the walk.

One of my best friends, a long time ago, told me that the key to food portion sizes was this - "Eat from small plates, drink from taller glasses." It's a piece of advice I had forgotten, especially after moving to the US where portion sizes seem to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. But in a book I'm currently reading called "Mindless Eating" this advice about container sizes is validated by Dr. Brian Wansink, Ph.D, a man who clearly knows his stuff. And optical illusions are at the root of it all.

Who couldn’t lose a few pounds? Ok, we all know of some people who are perfect just the way they are, but if you are reeling from your Freshman 15, or are just suffering the consequence of 3 kids in 5 years (yes, you are reading that right), then maybe the new over-the-counter weight-loss option “Alli” has caught your attention.Have more to say?
