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

Happy Weight Loss
Hi Tushketeers ~ I'm writing you from my workshop at Kripalu Yoga & Health! There are some Tushketeers here, YAHOOOOOooooo ... and we wish YOU were here! Truly!!! We had our first session on Sunday night, and we learned (I always learn, too) how to exercise in our sleep. I even dreamed about tight tummy muscles! We're going straight into exploring our relationship with food this morning! And then heading for a healthy and emotionally balanced lunch.
Fear not, however, you have another chance to move into your 'lite,' change your relationship with food and more! My Omega retreat is scheduled for June 8; a full 5 days - guaranteed to blow the fat cells out of your mind and tighten tummy muscles while sleeping :) Here's the link. Sign Up NOW! Omega Holistic Institute, Rhinebeck, NY!
BIG QUESTION for y'all: I know that there are many among you who have lost 10, 20, 30 and even 40 pounds with the help of Our Lady of Weight Loss. Our Lady would LOVE to hear from you ... send photos and let me know how specifically OLofWL helped!!! And she'd also love to know how else she helped you move forward in your life. It's not all about the scale, is it!!!
For you ONE LIFE to LIVE fans, an actor friend of mine, Josh Philip Weinstein played Zach, the would-be serial killer. He's been written out of the story-line. Want to bring him back? Write a note! Doesn't have to be more than ... "Bring Zach/Josh Weinstein back!!!"
And now ... onto this week's KICK which runs the gamit from Earth Day Recipes to Bush's Torture Diet to UNITED AIRLINES: Double Your Fat, Double Their Pleasure! And a feature interview with blogger Susan K. Perry in Psychology Today! Lots of food for thought! Feel free to have more than one serving and pass the plate to others!
Spread the word ... NOT the icing,
Janice

UNITED AIRLINES: Double Your Fat, Double Their Pleasure!
United Airlines is the latest airline to jump on the anti-fat bandwagon and penalize their overweight passengers by charging them for two seats should they not fit "comfortably" into one. They say that they are doing this because they received 700 complaints last year about overweight passengers.
In my capacity as someone who knows the "overweight" landscape well as an "ex-fatty" (50 pounds permanently removed eight years ago), author of two best-selling weight loss books, seminar leader and Life & Wellness Coach, I have a few questions for United Airlines and the other carriers who have adopted this two-seats/two-faced policy.
What other complaints have you received in the past year, and how many? Has no one mentioned the delays, cramped seating (no matter your size), or poor food choices? I'd like to see a full report on complaints.
You say that your criteria for double charging is, "if a passenger cannot close the arm rest, or cannot fasten the seat belt with an extension." Given that 34% of Americans are obese, might you consider making the seats larger?
What if you still receive complaints about those who manage to "fit in" their seats, but nevertheless, a bulge or a ripple of fat undulates across the divide? Where will you draw the line or the tape measure?
Will you have a "model" at the gate, as you have a display/image of what size luggage constitutes a carry-on?
You penalize overweight people yet you offer no real healthy choices when distributing your peanuts, snack bars, and cookies. Why not offer fresh fruit?
Instead of adding to the problem, creating even more of a stigma for those who are overweight, why not become a part of the solution? Partner with Life & Wellness Coaches, fitness centers, nutritionists alike. Offer frequent flyer miles to those who create healthy lifestyles. Dedicate a section of your flight magazines to health education.
Step up to the healthy plate and make a real difference.
Spread the healthy word...NOT the icing,
Janice

Failure is NOT An Option. Our Lady of Weight Loss wants to know ... Are you afraid to commit to yourself fully?

Are you afraid to let the buried, the 'real' you - OUT?

Scientists: Obesity Causes Global Warming: Oh My ... more bad news for those (34% of Americans) who are obese.

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ I am a very youthful 50 year old. All things wonderful ... great job, fab husband, wonderful children, yet!!!! I now have type 2 diabetes and I am inching my way (literally) way past 200 pounds. I have tried every diet and lost weight, but always regain it. I am not sure as to what is at the heart of this matter. What holds me back? What gets in my way of sticking to it! Will I ever be healthy? Will I ever get rid of the pounds??? Thank you for listening. I really don't know what you can say via email that can help, but here's hoping! ~ Nicki B.
Dear Nicki ~ You are right to wonder ... What Is At the Heart of the Matter? What Is Holding You Back? What is weighing you down? Is it a deeply rooted old belief that food soothes and comforts? Is it an old belief that you simply cannot change your lifestyle? Move away from that old belief, now.
Rather than going on a 'diet' that is on some level of torture (as stated in today's Motivational Musings), you can find a healthy way to live. Instead of I can't, say "I don't know how, yet." Instead of "get rid of" imagine "letting go of."
It sounds as though you are standing at an important fork in your road. Close your eyes just for a moment, and imagine what it feels like to keep moving on your current path. (Pretty scary!) And now, explore and experience the healthy route, the one that is filled with possibility. How will you move toward your healthy future?
I do believe that YOU CAN and WILL succeed. I believe that you have already taken the 'right' fork in the road. The very fact that you wrote me says that you are inching your way toward change and health. Keep inching!!! And keep us in your loop. Our Lady of Weight Loss is with YOU every inch of the weigh. ~ OLofWL

Angelina Jolie vs. Susan Boyle ... YOU WEIGHED-IN!
Thank you for that Monday lift I was amazed at Susan Boyle's voice. I guess that is what is met when you sing from the Heart. Just like with you my experience at Omega was truly life changing. ~ Alice
True beauty is having a personality and spirit that is filled with love within, the love will shine so bright that it will reflect who you are on the outside. True beauty is knowing who you are without someone defining YOU! Man looks at the outside but true beauty is what's on the inside and manifest itself on the outside. ~ Regena
The joy on Susan's face when she received accolades is more beauty than tucked, painted, peeled skin can ever provide. Her innocent elation, how delightful. As for her voice: Well, her voice leaves me breathless. Here's to women who don't fit the skinny, delicate, pretty mold and who bring tears to my eyes with gorgeous voices, and I say, who among us will stand up on stage and try to out sing them? Not I, that's for darn sure. ~ Nancy D.
Beauty is -- love and compassion topped off with a great sense of humor. ~ Molly A.
OK, I am being very subjective here, and treading on ‘thin’ ice but here goes: Look at the members of the Rolling Stones….does the confidence or ‘swagger’ of these musicians ‘make’ them attractive? They have been rich and famous for years…yet I don’t think its about looks. Why are they seemingly not questioned about how they look, yet Miss Boyle is under a microscope? The true beauty here is that
she exudes confidence in who she is and in sharing her gift. I admire her ability to ‘shine on’ no matter what outside judgments exist. ~ Rosamund
Write to OLofWL!!! She wants to hear from YOU!
