Lose Weight Find Life

I just repotted some flowers from a very small container to larger pots.  Why larger pots?  Because I know they will grow and I want to give them plenty of room to bloom and grow as they can.  I don’t want the limitations of a small pot to confine their growth and ability to bloom [...]

The next part of my Weight Loss Purpose Statement is to expand on my answer #2 to the post in Part 3 below.  #2 is: 2.   To live a healthy, active life to be with my husband and sons.  To see my kids graduate, get married and have grandkids. I want to live a long [...]

Now that I (we, hopefully you’re joining me) have written the words and phrases that describe how I feel when I am on track and when I’m not, now I’m getting into the “meaty” part of my Weight Loss Purpose Statement.  By losing/maintaining my weight, what do I want?  What is it that I want by having a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I was talking with a close friend of mine about weight loss.  Why do we really want to lose weight?  For many of us, we focus on the scale.  What that little number says when we step on the scale is given so much power as to how we feel about ourselves.  Myself included!!  I [...]

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 [...]
