Weighty Confession
Forgive Me for I Have Sinned
My step-mom teaches at a Catholic School and has described witnessing children's first confessions as being pecked to death by a flock of chickens. I promise my first confession will not be so painful! Here goes . . .
I could not stop eating goodies. Donut holes (at least 7 or 8), oatmeal-butterscotch apple cookies (very small cookies, at least 7 or 8), cashews (undetermined amount), 1, 2 maybe 3 bowls of cereal at breakfast, topped by ice cream at night.
All Is Forgiven, Move On . . .
Lighten Up! Send OLofWL your Weighty Confessions.
Lighten your load. Submit your weight confession NOW! You'll feel better for it! (OLofWL reserves the right to edit. :)

Motivational Musing
Walking Backwards Through Life
Have you been meaning to build your quadriceps? (Its been on my to-do list for quite some time!)
Are you a bit wary of putting excess stress on your already messed up knees? (Mine are so messed up.)
Walking backwards takes the excessive stress off your knees, it reduces shear force AND it gives you a totally new perspective on things - a new point of view. Instead of moving closer to things, you are distancing yourself! (Cool!) You are moving towards your compelling future as you wave bye-bye, so long to the past.
Walking backwards is more than a reversal of the forward motion. It is a learned skill that requires practice. Youll be exercising a new motor pattern, so it takes concentration. Your mind will be involved, as well!
Walking Backwards Through Life may be a preferred route for you if you
1. are rehabilitating from knee surgery,
2. experiencing pain as you go up and down stars or hills,
3. suffer from muscle strains of the hip, groin, hamstrings or lower back (greater stretch when walking backward),
4. play sports that require running backwards (i.e. soccer, football, basketball),
5. play sports in which you need to work on your ability to change direction rapidly, or
6. are just plain bored and need a change of pace.
How to start moving backward through life?
Best to try walking backwards on a slightly inclined slope or ramped treadmill. At some point, you may even jog backwards.
Take 10 steps forward and 9 steps backwards (which should return you to your starting place). If this feels good, increase to 20 or 30 yards at a clip. Next, move to a slightly elevated place.
Dig it! Youre in good company!
Champion Boxer Gene Tunney ran four to eight backward miles a day in his training.
Muhammad Ali, known for his dazzling foot speed, used backward running in his roadwork.
What's your style of walking? Backward, forward, with a pedometer? Share your secrets with your fellow KITT Club members. Write OLofWL!

Thanks to Janice for giving me tools and tips on how to improve my life. Speaking with her on a weekly basis gave me so much 'want power!' I now make better choices. An amazing four weeks. Well worth the time, energy and investment! ~ CB
Working with Janice helped me to discover the door to my future. With 5 pounds permanently gone already, I am for the first time, seeing a whole new me with passion and interest in areas I would not have dreamt of even 2 months ago! The depth and breadth of what she has to offer is truly a gift. ~Jane 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.

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ I just love sweets - especially cakey things. Otherwise I eat well; lots of veggies and fish. And, I struggle - wondering "do I want to be thin, fit into my size 8 clothes and not eat things I enjoy," or "do I want to enjoy and settle for a 10?" I'm at a season in my life when my willpower to say no to sweets is very weak. What to do? Thanks for being there for so many of us, and I love your artwork!!! ~ Heather
Dear Heather ~ First, I'd like to say that you are fabulous whether your dress size is an 8 or a 10. And either way you can have cakey things now and again; and either way there is a limit to how much cakey things you can eat. No matter your size, you will have to say 'no' at some point.
If you say your willpower is very weak at this point in your life, it will be. Sounds like you might be giving yourself permission to eat more. The question to ask yourself is ... "What do I want? How strong is my want power muscle?" I hope you find peace in this and do not feel like you are settling. Embrace your fabulousness. ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ I saw that your book, Our Lady of Weight Loss, was recommended in O, The Oprah Magazine, so I went out and got a copy. I love it! It's fun, inspiring and motivational. Sign me up for a weekly Kick in the Tush, please. For the first time, in a long time, I feel hopeful. Thank you! ~ V.M.H. Providence, RI
Dear V.M.H. ~ It is so much fun for me to share my book, my story and website with y'all. I appreciate your support and kind words. Thanks for writing. ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ Regarding last week's KICK (What's in Your Mental Junk Drawer) ... O.K., I buy GIGO (garbage in; garbage out) but before I can recommend it to a friend, I need to know how to pronounce it.
Here are my choices:
1. GIGO (jijo-sort of rhymes with gigolo; and the image of a not too attractive male companion for sale sort of fits the garbage idea as do the soft (squashing like garbage) /g/ sounds
2. GIGO (long i and long o, and sort of rhymes with Geico but also sounds like a baby babbling)
3. GIGO simply spell it using letter names which makes one think of an army soldier, a G.I., doing something forceful and military, maybe on K.P. actually throwing out the garbage....I think this is my pick, but we need consensus on this and I'll go with what the majority wants. Talk about soft /g/ sounds.~J. Hall
Dear OLofWL (and Janice) ~ Yes! I want to use the phrase, but want to use it correctly. How is GIGO pronounced?
gig - ow
jee - joe
guy - go
guy - joe
jee - go
gig - oh
gij - oh?????
Please help - I'm just an analog girl in a digital world, and my music is round and vinyl! ~ THANKS! Darlene
Dear OLofWL ~ I am willing to use GIGO but how? What is the sound of the G? Garbage or giraffe? or do you just say the letters G I G O? ~ Thanks. Carol
Dear All . . . Our Lady of Weight Loss and Janice are mulling over your GIGO emails and will report next week on the official pronunciation. In the meantime, if anyone else has any thoughts on the GIGO matter (last week's KICK), please email Janice soonest!

Artella Magazine printed a special issue this summer called Artella: Body of Art. It includes 35 contributing artists and writers; 12 unique 'how-to' art projects and much more.

Here's the link to my page: Concupiscence Cake. Concupiscence means "desire": the faculty of appetite is sometimes referred to as desire or concupiscence. It refers to the fact that each individual feels a lack of something within himself. To address this emptiness, he turns elsewhere for fulfillment.
Wow! Weight loss art with great meaning.

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 featured HolidaZe GlaZe pick is ... Organic Fuse. These guys make great soaps from simple, fresh and organic ingredients that make for perfect stocking stuffers. Lots of stuff to choose from that is under $10 per item! They make awesome body butter, too. It's like buttah! And Organic Fuse buys from small farms and socially responsible companies. Their mission is to make the world a better place, one body wash at a time! Sounds good to me!

Does Your Weight Loss Chart Look Like An EKG?
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
