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

REVIEW: 2009 Edition : the Calorie King CALORIE FAT & CARB Counter ... includes 200 Fast Food Chains & Restaurants. - For me, Calories Rule and weight loss is a simple scientific equation. Calories In; Calories Out. And now that there is a book that's small enough to toss in your bag, that lists the calorie count of every food from A to Z, as well as fast foods and carnival foods, there's no excuse for 'not knowing!' Take responsiblity!
My favorite section is EATING OUT: Fair and Carnival Foods - it's very entertaining!
Fried Snicker Bar - 445 calories (vs. 280 calories for a reg. Snickers; 510 cals for King sized bar)
Funnel Cake (1 slice) - 760 calories
Onion Flower - 1320 calories (what is an Onion Flower?)

Happy Weight Loss
Hi Tushketeers ~ As we enter 'Holy Week,' Our Lady of Weight Loss and I want to wish everyone a Happy Vesak (Buddhist celebration of Buddha's Birth), Happy Passover (Jewish celebration of the flight of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery in the 1200's B. C. E.), and a Happy Easter (the celebratation of the resurrection of Jesus, the most joyous occasion in Christianity.)
We also want to invite you to come to Kripalu Institute for my workshop (April 26-29) in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, at which time YOU will change your relationships to food; free yourself from the insanity - a.k.a. your 'evil twin;' change your thinking/your mind; and learn self-hypnosis techniques AND have FUN. Yes, FUN and weight loss are NOT mutually exclusive. So, get charged! Motivated! Inspired! and join with us!
In addition, If you missed my fabulous tele-seminar: PROFOUND PATHS to Health, Healing and Happiness, here is the downloable mp3 or is it 4?! Enjoy!
Now ... onto this week's KICK, which is steamin' hot! There was a lot going on in the celebrity world (Star Jones, Marie Osmond and Valerie Bertinelli on Oprah), as well as Kathy Ireland confessing her 25 pounds gain in People magazine. So, get ready to dish the dirt, chew the fat and whip up a righteous recipe that's better than an orgasm! (Yup, you heard me right!)
Spread the word ... NOT the icing,
Janice

Motivational Musings
MOTIVATION TIP: SMILE!!! You use an average of 43 muscles for a frown; 17 muscles for a smile. Every two thousand frowns :creates one wrinkle.
KATHY IRELAND:
Overweight. Overwhelmed.
Top model, former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl, Kathy Ireland, plumped up and packed on 25 pounds "without even knowing it!"
Kathy, like HOLA! I gained 3 pounds last month and could tell immediately; as soon as my 'love muffin' (more than just a top) came peaking out and then tumbling over my very tight jeans.
Still, I get your point. You stopped taking care of yourself and went into denial. Your mind was so cluttered with business matters and family matters that you didn't matter. And, I'm guessing here, that you did, indeed, have some idea that you were gaining weight - one can only blame the dry cleaners for shrinking their clothes for so long and 25 pounds is the equivalent to three sizes (8 pounds per size) - but 'it' spiraled a tad out of control, so you buried your feelings in food, and jumped another size. You were on the "downward spiral. "
Nevertheless, you turned it around, got it together, didn't you? You reached out to a nutritionally sound friend. Smart! Support is key! You learned from it; and have made it a part of your story (a talking point for your new book - Real Solutions for Busy Moms). You are now on the "upward spiral."
Busy moms (busy women) take care of everyone else first; from the kids to their partners, their significant other, spouse, job, boss, family member, community obligations, friends and goodness knows what else/who else.
And Kathy's photo in People Magazine told her tale. When you put everyone before yourself and stop paying attention to your own needs, stop doing the things that you love to do, stop connecting to yourself, you effectively don't exist. You've lost your identity.
I'm BIG on real conversations and would love to have one with Kathy Ireland. Here's how I'd kick-start the gab-fest.
Kathy, how specifically are you taking care of yourself; putting yourself first? When Oprah spoke of her personal battle with weight on her TV show, she said that she was taking care of herself first by putting exercise on her calendar. Sorry, that doesn't cut it for me. Yes, put exercise on the calendar! Great idea. I'm curious to know, how will you nurture your soul? Stay connected to your core being?
Your goal, praise be, is NOT to schedule a bikini- appearance on Oprah. Rather, your goal to be healthy, to be there for your husband and your children. What does that look like, exactly? I'd love to hear more because that's such a pat answer, and I suspect you are deeper than sound bytes.
Kathy, write me; let's talk!
Note to Our Lady of Weight Loss fans: Those three pounds I gained merely visited; they did NOT move back in!
Spread the word ... NOT the icing,
Janice
Star Jones: Addict, Depressed and Honest.
Star was the only one who spoke of the psychological side of weight loss; the need to be coached through the various stages of weight loss; the need to connect to a new identity. Star, you have a new identity - or rather you have connected with your 'real self.' You cleared out the layers of shame, self-loathing, and allowed yourself to be honest and vulnerable. That's what helps people. The truth. NOT Hollywood fairy tales. ... READ ON!

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ Last year this time, I had my head in the right place and had managed to remove 65 lbs. over a 1-1/2 year time-span. Now, since I have started working again, I cannot seem to find the time to do what I know I have to do to continue on this path of weight removal. I actually have placed back 20 lbs of what I had removed! EEEKKK!!
It seems I have "lost that loving feeling" when it comes to my journey and need advise on how to get my motivation back? ~ Emmy
Dear Emmy ~ Motivation and inspiration are a mindset. Each and every morning, upon waking, you must set your mind, as you must brush your teeth, wash, and have coffee!!! Make it a daily habit!
One way (and there are many) is to write your own positive affirmations. An affirmation is a form of auto-suggestion a.k.a. self-hypnosis, in which a statement is made about the future in the present tense, as if it had already happened in the past.
Yes, that's right. Repeat, please ... An affirmation is a statement about the future, made in the present, as if it had already happened in the past! There's information on my Beliefnet.com blog as to how to make your own affirmation container. Something you can fill with your affirmations, carry around with you, so that you can read through and remember! Yes, remember what your goals are and why you want to permanently remove that excess weight and live a healthy life! Daily Motivation is one of the 'RULES' of Permanent Fat Removal.
How will you motivate yourself daily? Write OLofWL! Thanks Emmy, and all who are now thinking about how to motivate themselves daily! Daily!! Daily!!! :) ~ OLofWL
Write to OLofWL!!! She wants to hear from YOU!
