Evolve, however, means that you permanently and fundamentally change a part of who you are.

Mission Statement: To Make Weight Loss Fun ... Seriously, Does It Have to Be Sooo Painful?
Hey y'all! Happy February! As we move toward spring (it is coming soon, isn't it???), I propose that we ramp up our energy and start working on our self-confidence muscles! Work that self-esteem, break a confidence sweat, and get ready to bust out this spring! (See today's Motivational Musings!) Today's Chewing the Fat features a letter from an OLofWL devotee who wants to know if Janice cooks! HA!!! For those of you who have inquired, the Fill Up On Happiness e-coaching program is coming soon. Very soon! I ran into a major computer glitch and body glitch (bronchitis-knocked me on my tush)! So hang in there ... happiness is right around the corner. Enjoy this week's KICK!
Spread the word ... NOT the icing,
Janice

Motivational Musings
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, in particular, weight loss. If we don't feel good about ourselves; feel confident - what do we do? We head to the fridge. Stuff those feelings down. EAT! All other things being equal, self-confidence is often the one ingredient that distinguishes a successful person from someone less successful. The good news is that self-confidence is yet another muscle to build up and on. It's takes practice to like oneself. It's a matter of focusing on all that you do well, all that is good about you. And believe me, there is a lot more fabulous in you than you can imagine. How to Build Your Self Confidence Muscle One of the best ways to start to build your self-confidence muscle is to recognize and acknowledge all that you accomplish on a daily basis. And one way to keep track of your daily accomplishments is to keep a daily log or diary identifying any and all goals that you reach, no matter how big or small, positive behavior changes, positive feedback from others, anything that you handled during the day in a positive way, any wins in any areas. One of the things I put in my daily log yesterday: "Packed for trip to The Crossings, Texas." Yay! One thing I can cross off my to-do list. "Made corner grocer smile when I said thank you in Korean." I spread good cheer! Stop right now and think. What could you write in your self-confidence success log? "I'm thinking about a self-confidence log. Wow! Great first step." Keep the daily log or diary at hand so that you can fill it in immediately as you achieve something rather than forgetting! Combine it with your daily food sheet, if you like; or your gratitude journal. Just be sure to note your accomplishments in some way, shape or form so that you give yourself the credit you deserve! Feel your self-confidence muscle growing? Work it daily!!

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ How rigidly do you plan your meals? Do you plan every single morsel 24 hours in advance, as Judith Beck instructs, or do you just have a general set of guidelines? (Like, given a choice between a sandwich and a salad, you always take the salad?) How many hours a week do you spend cooking? I mean, c'mon, you're a New Yorker! I can't imagine you cooking every night. ~ AH
Dear AH ~ Good questions!!! I've been living this healthy lifestyle and planning meals for almost 8 years now, so it is truly second nature. One of my rules is to keep the fridge stocked with the 'right' foods, which makes it easy. Each and every morning, I cook up, put together, grab what I need for the day. It's not so much a question of salad or sandwich. Sometimes salads are loaded with dressing and are less 'diet' friendly than a sandwich. Let's just say that I make wise choices ... about 90% of the time. Having said that, I do agree with Judith Beck. In the beginning, you kind of do have to be on it, until you have created a new habit, a strong muscle, a new lifestyle. These types of changes take time, dedication and commitment. And then one day, you wake up, and you miraculously find that you naturally move in the 'right' direction, without mental torture! As for cooking! Very funny!!!! You're right ... I am a New Yorker ... I am busy ... and I can't imagine me cooking every night, either. But I do cook a few times a week and make more than I need (see Turkey Sloppy Joe recipe below). When I eat out, I eat healthy! Steamed veggies and shrimp is a favorite. Finally, I'd like to say that the effort is well worth it! I say "no" to burgers and fries and "yes" to me! I hope that helps. Please feel free to ask more questions! ~ OLofWL
