Weighty Confession

Forgive Me for I Have Sinned

I switched to the Core program - back to the Point System - onto the Atkins Plan - modified by South Beach - the Grapefruit Diet . . . All before dinner. And then I took Our Lady of Weight Loss to bed with me, hoping that forgiveness would leap off the page. (And it did.) What a crazy, unbalanced and frenetic day.

All Is Forgiven, Move On  . . .

Motivational Musing

October Orange

The color Orange represents the changing of the seasons.  It is a color on the edge - on the threshold – of change.  Orange transports us from the hot dog days (not hotdog days) of summer to the fragrant first oranges and mandarins of the fall. Orange is the color of October sunsets, and it evokes images of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and together with the color Black, Halloween.

Orange is the color of October.
Orange - a mixture of red and yellow - is a brilliant and dazzling color.  It symbolizes energy, warmth, and the sun.  Orange commands attention as does red, but with the presence of affable yellow, orange gives way to a slightly less intense experience.

Orange is a stimulant.  It stimulates emotions, thoughts, conversation and even appetite.  With Halloween upon us and its pumpkins piled high at every green market, perched on every doorstep, along with those mountains of haunting little orange devils called candy corn found at every turn of the supermarket, it’s no wonder we’re in danger of caving-in to the call of the candy-filled Jack-O-Lantern.

Stay strong my friends. Limit your treats, lest Halloween haunt you for months to come.

Fun Orange Facts:
  • In Ireland, the color orange is associated with the protestant religion.
  • Black boxes on airplanes are painted orange so they are more visible to the human eye. (Why not call them orange boxes?)
  • If you dream in orange, you can expect an unexpected change in your life! (Expect the Unexpected, I always say.)
  • Orange has the optical illusion of making objects look like they are in the foreground, whether they are or not.

To which color do you gravitate?
Your favorite color provides intriguing clues to your personality.









  • RED - The color of power, vitality, motivation, strength
  • ORANGE - The color of confidence, energy, joy, warmth
  • YELLOW - The color of strength, intelligence, joy, happiness, optimism
  • GREEN - The color of balance, harmony, caring, tenacious self-reliance, and healing
  • BLUE - The color of calmness, concentration, healing, relaxation, loyalty, and trust
  • INDIGO - The color of soothing, power, connection with knowledge, idealism, introversion.....and martyrdom?
  • VIOLET - The color of creativity, intuition, spirituality, self-awareness

What's your favorite color?  Write OLofWL!

Chewing the Fat

Dear OLofWL ~ I had to laugh when I read last week's Kick.  It's a little too late for me.  I've clearly accepted delivery of my ancestors' fat genes!  BUT I am working on returning it to them, once and for all!  Thanks for the humorous approach.  I'm jazzed! ~ Slim-Jeans-Soon

Dear SJS ~ Fabulous! Ship those excess pounds back, pronto!   Thank YOU for the laugh. ~ OLofWL

* * *

Dear OLofWL ~ It IS my ancestors' fault, thank you!  It has nothing whatsoever to do with the roller-coaster routine of low-carb/all-carb dieting I've evolved into.   At least I got some good hair and eyesight genes along the way. ~ Up 20 Down 20'ly yours

Dear 20 Down, down ... down off the roller coaster ~ Glad you appreciate your good hair and eyesight.  Gratitude is always a good thing. ~ OLofWL
* * *

Dear OLofWL ~ I just have to share some BIG news with you!!!  I've lost 35 lbs!  I've got a spunky new hair cut, and some new clothes. Watch out world! ~ Peggy

Dear Peggy ~ Big time congratulations.  I know you've been working really hard to permanently remove those pounds.  Eating right, exercising, new hair, new clothes . . . you've got the whole enchilada goin' on.  Bravo! ~ OLofWL

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
