Weighty Confession

Forgive Me for I Have Sinned

The Devil tempted me with trays and trays of samples at Gourmet Garage, the local market - from cheese, to chips, to cake, to bread, at every turn of the aisle.  Yes, I sampled the tastings - each and every one, but not just once.  I circled, pushing my cart (does that count as fat burning exercise?), not twice, or thrice but four times!

All Is Forgiven. Move On.

Motivational Musing

Shredded W.I.L.L. Power © ™, a New Breakfast Cereal
brought to by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Artist ™.

Recommended daily:  Three servings of W.I.L.L. Power (Want power * Imagination * Learnings * Love) daily – to be taken with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You don’t have to have an ounce or even a shred of will power to make the necessary internal adjustments to your thinking and beliefs as you open yourself up to the possibilities of permanent fat removal.

All you need is a deep, deep desire to reach your goal – in other words – all you need is WANT POWER and …

a shredding machine * or a pair of scissors * and/or scissors that cut in a variety of wiggly and wavy shapes * a stack of magazines * a bowl * a spoon * vinyl letters (optional)

And here’s what you’ll WANT to do –

While imagining or thinking about your best self, leaf through your stack of magazines and with great enthusiasm, rip out the pages that feature pictures and/or words that inspire you, that resonate deeply, that bring forth strong feelings in the positive with regard to reaching your ideal weight and being your best self. 

And now page by page, shred (either by machine or by hand or with scissors) your stack of images and words. 

Place these shredded papers in a bowl of your choosing.  With strong intention and conviction, position a spoon in the bowl. (You intuitively know the perfectly sized and shaped bowl and spoon for you, don’t you?)

W.I.L.L. (Want Power * Imagination * Learnings * Love) Power Cereal
You’ve just created a bowl of Shredded W.I.L.L. Power Cereal that you can display right smack in the middle of your kitchen or dining room table. 

Allow this centerpiece to serve as a reminder.  Each and every time you sit down at your dining room table you will remember that you are feeling fulfilled and sated and filled with W.I.L.L.

For a second helping of WANT POWER (and more W.I.L.L. Power), feel free to embellish the outside of the bowl.  (I used stick on vinyl letters. Easy, fun and a nice touch, if I say so myself.)

Note:  If you are not inclined to create a real bowl of Shredded W.I.L.L. Power Cereal, simply close your eyes and imagine a bowl filled with images and words that represent all your hopes, dreams and desires.  Store the bowl somewhere sacred within.

Perhaps you can place your bowl of W.I.L.L. Power Cereal in your mind’s eye, your heart, or even your stomach.  Let it serve as a reminder that you are filled with fabulous resources, which you can easily access at any time of the day or night that you WANT to.


New Point of View:  There is no such thing as will power, only W.I.L.L. Power Shredded Cereal, available in your imagination morning, noon and night!

Chewing the Fat

Dear OLoWL ~ My weight slowly climbed up over the years until it was truly too, too much. I decided to do something about it. Upon reaching an intermediate goal of losing 42 pounds and hitting 200, I wanted to commemorate the occasion. Despite being a 47-year-old, mini-van driving mom of three, who lives in suburbia, I designed and got a super cool tattoo on my lower back! I love it! It makes me feel wild and dangerous. Who knows what I might do next! Hah! Even lose more weight, for sure!


Keep up the words of wisdom and support I've trained my whole family to say: "if you bite it, you must write it."! ~ Elizabeth H .

Dear Elizabeth ~ Wow!  You sure a cool van-driving mom! I'm so happy and excited for you and can't wait to hear about your next wild adventure.  And thanks for teaching your family one of OLofWL's favorite sayings.  Keeps one honest! ~ OLofWL

* * *

Dear OLofWL ~ Since last January, when I attended your workshop at the Crossings in Austin, Texas, I've lost 18 pounds.  And this week I realized I hit another cool mile marker in the slimming down battle of the bulge. I realized I've done Pilates almost every Sunday since last July, and man, I can REALLY tell a difference in my core strength.

Another thing ... to keep the creative juices flowing, I'm making "altered books" as part of my 'art therapy-rather-than-eating' projects. Mine so far is way cool. Lots of wild animals and bright colors.  Since meeting you and with this project too, I've become a collagey-collector of cool WORDS from sources everywhere I go.  Love ya like a sister ALWAYS, Knoel

Dear Sista' Knoel ~ You are a star and an inspiration. Congratulations on permanently removing 18 pounds of excess weight and for finding your thinner core strength!  Love to see your altered book project.  If you can snap me a photo, please do!  At some point, in October, when we have our space up n' running on BeliefNet, we can all add photos to it.  How cool will that be?  Into the 'lite' ... OLofWL

PS: Coincidently, just this morning, I came across this very cool altered book from Anthropologie. 
My favorite is "Cross Reference."  What a great way to re-cycle those old-fashioned rolodex files in your office!

Latest press . . . Spring and Summer 2007

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.  For those who like to make art - design cards - look at other people's work - watch CD's with fun stuff on them - this mag (comes with a CD of artsy stuff) is well worth the purchase.  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.
