Lose Weight Find Life

I wanted to give everyone an update on the Weight Loss Purpose Statement project.  I have been doing a lot of my own work and thinking about it, taking notes and journaling.  So it is very much front and center with me and in progress.  I’ll be off line tomorrow celebrating my birthday!!  Thanks for all [...]

I am interrupting my Weight Loss Purpose Statement project for an insight I had over the weekend.  I am still giving lots of thought to it because I believe it is a very important thing I am doing for myself.  Thanks to those of you that have contacted me.  I appreciate it very much.  You’ve [...]

Creating my own Weight Loss Purpose Statement has been a very interesting process.  Yesterday when I posted the words and phrases that describe how I feel when I am off track and not making the best choices, it was difficult.  I kept adding to the list yesterday as more things came to mind.  Today as [...]

As I posted yesterday, I’m trying something new.  Since I’m the CEO, boss of my life, I’m creating my own weight loss purpose statement just like successful businesses and corporations have.  When I’m doing the yes/no for food triggers and emotional eating, a statement that I can remember and say to myself that keeps me [...]

Yes, I am guilty of putting it off until tomorrow.  That is another word for the dreaded title of “procrastinator”.  Ugh. I’ve never thought of myself as a procrastinator.  I think I have become one!  We have an appointment to get our taxes done and I waited until the last minute to get it organized and [...]

It is so beautiful outside today.  It is the first day in a long time that the sun is shining and it is warm (70 degrees).  I love Spring and Fall.  The two seasons that are not extremes of cold and hot, humid and horrible.  Spring is a new beginning with the trees budding, flowers [...]

When I emotionally eat, it reminds me of a commercial from a long time ago for Calgon – “Calgon, take me away.”  Cookie and/or chips, take me away.  Take me away from my boredom, stress, upset, overwhelm, you-name-it!!! Who’s in charge?  Our emotions or us?  I don’t know about you but I want to be [...]

Many people try to bury their feelings under food. The only thing that we (as I’m one of those people!!) accomplish is gaining weight, compromise our health and, in the process, become more unhappy and miserable.  If we emotionally eat frequently, we need to get out of the prison of emotional eating because it doesn’t help us [...]
