Weighty Confession

Forgive Me for I Have Sinned

On a rainy day this past week, I went out to dinner and placed my umbrella in the umbrella stand at the front of the restaurant, with the rest of the umbrellas.  On my way out, I mistakenly grabbed someone else's umbrella.  I didn't realize it until I was half way home.  I could have turned back, but I was tired. (On the one hand, it's a really nice umbrella! On the other, I really do feel bad.)

All Is Forgiven, Move On  . . .

Motivational Musing

Do NOT Accept Delivery of Your Ancestors ‘Fat Genes’

It is a w i d e l y held belief within my family of origin that all us women are ‘naturally fat.’

I get a giggle from that, don’t you?  So much energy expended on wishing to be ‘naturally thin,' when the 'naturally fat' gene was implanted, like a computer chip, before I was born. 

The Taylor  ‘Fat Gene’ Theory has been passed down from generation to generation.  It was seemingly predetermined. And, as a member of this illustrious group, I complied. As you know (or may not know), I was born fat - the only baby in the hospital nursery to gain weight.

So why would someone like me, or you, who has this deeply rooted belief about themselves, whether passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation, or a relatively new self-imposed belief that you are ‘naturally fat,’ even try to lose weight?

Our Lady of Weight Loss Invites You to
Refuse Delivery of the Family Fat Genes

  • Take in a deep breath and let it go … on the exhale, see this negative belief float out the sides of you with the fall of your chest or stomach (note where your exhale is coming from), hear it gurgle, buzz, or even clink or clank its way from the inside to the outside, feel the possibilities and know that you now have a clear path to dream.  Do NOT accept delivery of your ancestors’ ‘fat genes.’

  • Take stock of the various ideas, dreams and visions that are buried within. Be willing to invest in your dreams and yourself.

  • Have faith in yourself. Trust your instincts.

  • Question your beliefs that stand in your way of your ability to fully commit to yourself.

  • Own your power; claim what’s yours!

What negative belief are you letting go of now?  Write OLofWL!

Chewing the Fat

Dear OLofWL ~ As you say, if you lose it, you might find it, and I did.  I found 20 of my 35 pounds lost.  We moved.  Kids had to adjust to new schools, I had to adjust to new driving route.  The stress of it all was just too much for me.  I know - I know.  Excuses, excuses.  Nevertheless, what to do? ~ Daisy

Dear Daisy ~ Moving is close to the top of the stressors list. And, you're right.  Stress or no stress, you don't want to continue to use it as an excuse.  You've moved in; you've unpacked.  You've met the kids' teachers, classmates, other mothers, etc.  Time to forgive yourself and move on. Tell those 20 pounds that it was nice of them to visit, but they can't move back in.  Remind yourself as to why you do want to permanently remove those pounds. Be grateful that you didn't gain the entire 35 plus some! Make a commitment to yourself.  You're worth it. ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ [Regarding last week's KICK] . . . My mother felt that it was impolite to ask people a lot of personal questions (about illnesses, relationships, money, etc.).  It seems people think that asking questions is a way of showing interest, but there's a line between nosiness and interest.  I try to stick to "Oh, that's too bad," and let people add the reason they are going into the doctors or whatever if they want to. Some people ask questions, and follow up questions like they're going to be making reports for the evening news.  Makes me wonder where they will be filing those reports. 
 
Thank you for the weekly art work and good thoughts.  I especially liked the "mental junk drawer" you did recently - that was a great visual, and good advice to keep it cleaned out. ~ PH

Dear PH ~ I had to laugh.  There was a woman I used to know, in my old neighborhood, who would ask so many intrusive questions, we kind of hid from her.  Not just me - everyone!  Imagine that!!  So you are absolutely right.  One does want to be thoughtful about what questions they toss out there.  Certainly don't want to sound like we're filing a report. Thanks for uprooting a 'funny' memory.  ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ I passed around last week's Kick to lots of people, hoping that they would get your point:  a conversation is not a monologue; 40 seconds and then let someone else talk.  I hope they get it!!!  ~ Pat B.

Dear Pat ~ Thanks for spreading the word (not the icing)!  I hope, for your sake, they get it, too! ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ Thursday, October 12 marked my official two year anniversary since giving away 40 pounds!  I celebrated by spending way too much money on clothes (went thru my entire wardrobe).  I also bought mini pink carnations to mark the occasion! Your newsletter helps, and I knew you would appreciate this note.  I never thought that I could accomplish this but now I know that it is possible to lose weight and keep it lost! Cheers, Lois

Dear Lois ~ Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment.  Permanent Fat Removal! Yahoo.  You can do anything you put your mind to.  That's for sure!  Well done and I do appreciate your writing, very much! ~ OLofWL

pre-HolidaZe GlaZe

Holidaze Glaze ... Join with me on an uncharacteristically early and organized shopping excursion.  Let's get our Holidaze Glaze in order early.  Perhaps, we'll be able to alleviate post-holiday-shopping stress syndrome this year.  PHSSS. 

This week's Holidaze Glaze Gift Buying Extravaganza included a WearEver Hard Anodized cookware 8" sauté pan, which I intended to give as a gift, but I couldn't resist.  Yup, I sauted every vegetable in sight and - well, it's mine now! (I felt guilty, at first, but then remembered:  All is forgiven, move on . . . yes?)

AND ... take NOTE - WearEver is sponsoring the SECOND ANNUAL AIRBAKE® EXTREME COOKIE CHALLENGE.  You could win a $10,000 Savings Bond and meet Noah Gray-Cabey of "Heroes."  (My kids aren't the 'right' age, so I might rent me one! Shhhh...)

"For all parents and kids out there who think they know cookies, start your ovens!  WearEver® is searching for the most unique, scrumptious, one-of-a-kind cookie recipes in the Second Annual WearEver® AirBake® Extreme Cookie Challenge.  Whether you prefer the juxtaposition of sweet and salty flavors or take the ‘everything-but-the-kitchen-sink’ approach, this contest is for you!"

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
