IT'S ABOUT YOUR LIFE; not about your fat!
EVOLVE! (Don't just improve.) Improve means to do something better. Evolve, however, means that you permanently and fundamentally change a part of who you are.
Janice Taylor is an inspiration! Through hypnosis, movement, talk, and art, Janice changed my mind and gave me the emotional strength I needed to change my body. ~ AH
While working with Janice, I not only 'permanently removed' over 20 pounds, I changed my life. I got so much more than I'd bargained for - ME! Profound stuff. I heartily recommend Janice as a coach. ~ MEMcG

MESSAGE BEANS … Holy cow girls n’ boys! I don’t know how they manage this, but imagine instead of sending a greeting card that says happy birthday (or thank you, get well, best wishes or good luck), you send a little container that once watered, manifests a bean popping through the soil that features a laser-edged greeting on it!! 4.3” H x 2.6” - dia. From Wishing Fish ($14)

The Pope makes edicts I shun
Like: birth control, sex, evolution.
But on matters of weight
His ideas are so great
I've slimmed down with his abs solution.

Happy Weight Loss
Hi Tushketeers ~ Morning!! and a Happy Monday to all. I'm hoping your week was filled with life, light and 'lite.'
I've got a special request from Tushketeer Kathie in Portland, Maine. She'd love to put together a Kick in the Tush Club in her 'hood. If you live near or in Portland, Maine, please write Kathie! And if anyone else would like me to post their email address for possible Kick in the Tush Club, let me know! Always happy to put y'all in touch with each other!
This week’s Kick contains some food for thought about the Biggest Loser Winner, an amazingly easy and awesome mediterranean pasta summer salad recipe, information about the evils of ‘liquid calories,’ as well as scintillating letters from you in the chewing the fat section. And this week’s question: It takes a lot of energy to stay stuck, to keep your problems alive and in place. Hmmmm… “How do you stop yourself???”
Ohhhh!!! One more thing! Here’s an update on my workshop: Our Lady of Weight Loss EnLIGHTens @ Omega Holistic Institute, Rhinebeck, NY! People continue to register and start to ready their minds to move into weight loss warrior mode. Determined, Focused, and Strong! Please join with us as we blow the fat cells out of our minds. If you’ve got any questions, please feel free to write me.
And now … here’s your Monday morning wake up – kick!!!!
Spread the word … NOT the icing!

BIGGEST LOSER WINNER: Helen Phillips' Big win
I don't mean to be a buzz-kill ... and I do offer my heartfelt weighty congratulations to Helen Phillips for losing 54.47% of her initial weight (now weighing in at 117 pounds), and for gaining $250,000 and a new attitude.
Still when the 48 year old Helen exclaimed, "140 pounds [lost]! Yes! Yes!" I couldn't help but to think ... "Lose it and you will find it. What about permanent fat removal? How will you keep it off without the cameras, the trainers, the television cameras?"
There you have it friends. The buzz-kill! Sorry ... but I am always concerned when people lose large amounts of weight in a short amount of time. Particularly when their incentive is an event or a date or a happening.
My question to Helen, the rest of the losers, and to you! When you 'lose' your excess weight, what's your maintenance plan? What will keep you motivated and moving forward? How will you manage to re-create yourself and your lifestyle to stay connected and in alignment with your new svelte body?
Any advice for Helen Phillips on how to keep it going? Weigh-in ... write OLofWL!

Is Oprah Hypnotizing You?
While discussing the in's and out's of hypnosis, the how of it and the various types of hypnosis, I'd sited Oprah as an excellent example of someone who uses 'direct' hypnosis (vs. a more permission based, indirect style) very effectively. An example of 'indirect' hypnosis is: "As you become more and more comfortable, you might consider ... " vs. the direct route: "You will." ... Read On!

Chewing the Fat
Last week's Weighty Question: "What will happen when you become fit & healthy? "
Marilyn weighs-in: I can throw out those awful synthetic clothes.........why do clothes manufacturers think that fat people only want to wear polyester and have short arms and legs?
Dear OLofWL ~ I have experienced a number of traumatic, abusive events throughout my life. I suspect that each and every time I lose weight, I regain it plus a few more pounds, because I believe that my weight protects me. I want to lose weight for a variety of reasons, including my health. What can I do? ~ G.G., Jersey
Dear G.G. ~ First, I'm curious to know if you have sought help such as seeing a psychotherapist who specializes in trauma. Abuse, sexual, physical or emotional, is a deep and complicated matter, one which I wouldn’t attempt to answer in an email. Having said that, I might encourage you to consider eating healthfully and maybe letting go of one pound at a time. And with each pound released, regrouping and looking inward, assessing where you are in the process. You are smart to realize that it is a ‘belief’ and that it is not necessarily true. Just by reaching out, you have begun to shift your position and move forward … toward freedom. Please keep us in your loop. We are rootin’ for you! ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ Please let "Cynthia" know that she has our love, our prayers, and our support in her struggles with breast cancer. I am walking in the Breast Cancer 3-day in August for her and other survivors as well as those who lost the fight. (My Mom and my teaching assistant to name two.) We walk to raise funds for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. I need to raise $2300 by August. If anyone could help me reach my goal, I would really appreciate it. Just log on to www.The3Day.org, click on donate and type in my name-Carol Diel. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ~ Carol Diel
Dear Carol ~ Thank you for walking for us and for reaching out to Cynthia. Brava! ~ OLofWL
Write to OLofWL!!! She wants to hear from YOU!
