Forgive Me for I Have Sinned

Righteous Recipe

Lentil Pate - For a change of pace, I whipped up this lentil pate to add to the Thanksgiving leftovers. Much to my delight, everyone loved it and wanted the recipe!

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil * 1 large onion, chopped * 3 garlic gloves, chopped * 2 teaspoons bombay masala (I'm betting any masala would be great) * 1 teaspoon ground coriander * 2 pints vegetable stock (I use the organic kind that comes in the cartons) * 8 ozs. red lentils, dry * 1 egg, large * 2 tablespoons 1% (or any percent) milk * 3 tablespoons hot spicy mango chutney (yum) * 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped * Spray butter or Pam

Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees * Heat oil in large saucepan * saute onions and garlic for a few minutes until soft * add the masala and ground coriander * stir around and cook for another minute * stir in vegetable stock and lentils * bring to boil * reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until lentils are cooked and softened * remove pan from heat and skim off any moisture (I didn't have more than an extra tablespoon, so I skimmed it off into my mouth) * put the mixture into a blender * add the egg, milk, chutney and parsley * blend until smooth, about 30 seconds * grease (with more oil or spray butter) loaf pan and pour mixture into pan * place in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is brown and crusty and it's firm to the touch (you'll instinctively know when it's done, I promise). *  You can either let it cool and serve room temperature, or transfer to fridge until totally cool.  (We all liked it warm.) * Sprinkle some more chopped parsley on top, if you like.  (I didn't bother - to busy eating).


Pear-Shaped Comments ... Last week's Pear recipe brought in lots of great idea!

Place sliced pears, sliced turkey, 1 slice Fat Free Swiss cheese between 2 slices of dark rye or pumpernickel bread.  Spritz the outside with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray and toast in your George Foreman grill or in a frying pan.  Yummy! - PS.  When I got the email with the Subject Line:  She's Got Quite a Pear, I assumed the email was about the shape of my butt! ~ Marnie S.

For breakfast, I slice up a bartlett pear, top with 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese and a sprinkling of sliced almonds. ~ Lois

I ate my pear and enjoyed its crispy sweetness, while my coworkers were eating birthday cake for one of our coworkers.  I didn't even feel sorry for myself, it was soooo good. ~ Jenny N.

Chewing the Fat

Dear OLofWL ~ I've lost a lot of weight quite a few times, but in the last 3 or 4 years I have really packed on the pounds and I am alarmed and sickened by what I'm doing to myself.  I eat when I'm not even hungry and after thinking about it for a while, I realize that I just want to have something in my mouth.  I'm not sure if it's the chewing or the distraction or what.  I know that I'm hurting myself by eating the way I do.  I hate the way I look - FAT - and yet, I can't stop the eating.  I have the tools to do what I need to - just not the mental and emotional fortitude right now. Thanks ~ A.L.

Dear A.L. ~ If you say that you can't stop the eating, then you can't.  If you say you can stop the eating, then you can.  Here are a couple of easy steps you can take:

Sniff Peppermint: According to a recent study from the Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia, people who sniff peppermint on a regular basis generally eat 23% fewer calories per week.  Chew gum, take a whiff of peppermint oil.

Let OLofWL Guide You: People who have purchased Our Lady of Weight Loss (the book) have told me that they keep her nearby and leaf through rather than eat.  The artwork is amazingly entertaining.  There are also plenty of ideas as to how to disstract yourself in her pages.

 
Stock Your House with the Right Stuff (and get rid of the rest:) If my cabinets were filled with trigger foods, I'd be triggered out of control, too.  There's no such thing as will power; only want power says OLofWL, so how badly do you want to keep the weight off?

I hope that helps keep your mouth and mind busy! Let us know.  We are with you every ounce of the weigh! ~ OLofWL

 * * *

Dear OLofWL ~  You were on my list of people to thank this holiday. I returned to my goal weight this month. I am an emotional eater, who has benefitted from your book, the Kick in the Tush Club newsletters, the refrigerator magnet and the weight loss expert tee shirt that I purchased some time ago.  (Will you offer them again?)

When I told my physical therapist last week that I was back at my goal, his assistant asked what that meant. He explained that, like many people he knows, I am a successful person who takes good care of herself and is proud of her achievement. Proud enough to share with others.

My holidays are richer for this. It isn't about the food, it's about the celebration. Thank you, Rona

Dear Rona ~
I'm so pleased to be a part of your success story. I feel that we are all very much in this together.
I am so blessed to know you and all KICK members and be a part of your lives, as you are a part of mine. The website, book, et al. are a labor of love for me.  Thank you for sharing your success with us.  Be proud! You go girl! ~ OLofWL  PS: keep an eye out for magnets and T-shirts.  Coming soon.

Good Morning OLofWL (and Janice) ~ My name is Kristin - I live in Standish Michigan. I have been putting together a little club of my own, but I was calling it the SEXY KITTEN CLUB. So many of my friends and I are struggling with weight and feel more like fat cats than sexy kitten. I knew I wanted to do something. I saw your program! Can I sign up to start a chapter - can I call it The Sexy Kitten Club? Can't wait to hear from you! ~ Kristin

Dear Kristin ~ YOU and your friends are free to name your club anything you like!  The whole idea is that you support and inspire each other while having fun.  I think your name is Big-Time-FUN and a creative masterpiece.  Love it!!!  Did you send for your KITT Club Chapter kit?  The KITT Club Kit includes a great brochure on how to start your own chapter, 5 KITT Club pins, 5 oath cards, 5 chapter membership cards which has a place for you to write in Sexy Kitten Club and a bumper sticker for your leading lady!  (5 Oath Cards alone sell for $12.50 and the entire kit is $7.50- it's a true bargain).  Please keep in touch and let us know what's happening with the Sexy Kitten Club! ~ OLofWL

You know how to lose weight  ... and  ... find it.  How about permanent fat removal?  Have you 'yo'ed' your last 'yo'?

Janice Taylor is a Coach/Certified Hypnotist (specializing in weight loss, self-esteem and happiness). Contact Janice for a FREE consultation and ask about her 4-week program! 

Janice's wise words and insightful perceptions helped to keep me focused as I learned to integrate the changes (and challenges) I have taken on in my new way of eating.  With her support, I no longer live in fear of everything spiraling out of control. To date, I have permanently removed 22 lbs. (20 more to go), and I am feeling so much more grounded and centered in my life. I know I will make it! ~ S.A.

Janice's honesty, compassion, professionalism and sincerity to help came through in each phone session. Her coaching skills are tremendously effective in all areas:  weight loss, relationships, career - LIFE!  I learned much more about myself than I expected; specifically, the root cause of my anxiety (which was causing me to overeat). ~ Heather D.B.

The insightful nature of what Janice was able to glean from me and reflect back to me was so much more than any of my many other attempts with counseling and group work.  I am filled with hope and peace each day, as I watch my body catch up to my spirit.   ~ KF

Working with Janice changed everything for me.  A total shift that encompassed so much more than weight loss.  She is an amazing life-coach. Intuitive, insightful and non-judgmental. ~ TZ

Since I began reading Our Lady of Weight Loss (the book) and working with Janice as my coach, I have lost 12 pounds! This feels so very positive. Janice's advice, support and insights have been and will continue to be an enormous help to me, in many, many ways. ~ SB
