Motivational Musing
What a day for a daydream!
While waiting for the 6 train on 116th and Lexington Avenue (not the most beautiful subway stop in Manhattan), I took the opportunity to mentally review my to do list: pick up low-fat milk, watermelon, multiple bags of salad, one-calorie per spray dressing; drop off dry cleaning; call my cousin; send out press packages …
The thought of artfully designed Our Lady of Weight Loss press packages making their way to their final destination – the desks of all the major producers of national talk shows - sent me off and running - well, actually – off and daydreaming. I mentally drifted into a peaceful, happy place filled with possibility - a place that was far, far away from the grit of the subway.
In my mind’s eye, I imagined producers zealously opening Our Lady of Weight Loss press packages, delighting over their contents - Glorious Greeting cards, Pious Postcards, bumper stickers that display the immortal words of OLofWL, “All Is Forgiven. Move On.” and of course, the best permanent fat removal book ever written: Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal. The producers were all yelling out to their assistants, “Get Janice on the phone now! Book her!”
Just as my phone was ringing, and I was about to say “Yes, I will be on your television show,” the train came screeching through the subway tunnel toward the platform – bright lights, loud horns a honkin’ - and my trance was broken.
Daydreaming is a type of trance state. It is a fantasy that one has while awake – often spontaneous, as was my daydream. Some daydreams are about future scenarios, some replay past experiences, and many daydreams are connected to some type of emotional experience.
Daydreams with intention are a form of self-hypnosis. You effectively release all conscious control in the moment and simply allow yourself to go with the flow of your gut feelings or your sixth sense. You go for a mental ride, allowing your unconscious mind to pretend to imagine. You can easily allow your attention to be directed inward and reach a part of yourself that you cannot reach while conscious or while sleeping.
Einstein daydreamed his way to the Theory of Relativity. Proof positive that daydreaming both stimulates the mind, relaxes the body, and is a process that can help to set goals, manage conflict, boost productivity, increase creativity, achieve goals and relieve boredom. (Go, Einstein! Go.)
New Point of View: Daydreaming is as important to permanent fat removal as food and movement (a.k.a. exercise). Make it a part of your day.

Heidi, from Springfield, a 65-pound big-time-loser (woo hoo, Heidi) and long-time KITT Club member, sends a corn on the cob tip: "Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on a plate and roll the corn in that (if you have one of those nifty corn on the cob-shaped plates, so much the better). Then, sprinkle a little salt on the corn. I swear, it's full-flavored. And, olive oil is one of the good oils that gives back."

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ I love reading your online words of wisdom and couldn't agree more. Yet, my problem is this: At the end of the day - sitting alone in my cozy apartment over dinner, somehow that extra glass of wine and sweet dessert are irresistable...nearly every night! CAN YOU HELP??? Many many thanks, Susan W.
* * *
Dear OLoWL ~ Love, love, love your newsletters and your attitudes towards weight loss! I'm on the "loser's bench" with 65 pounds lost so far. Here's one thing that I do that really helps to keep me motivated ... I have a running mental list of all of the cool things that are happening and will continue to happen to me as I lose weight. For example, when I'm going up my front stairs (several times a day!), I say to myself "Soon, I won't be huffing and puffing when I get to the top!" or when I'm putting on my elastic-waist jeans, I say "Soon, I will be wearing jeans with a fly!" and so on. I find that these affirmations work really well, because they deeply ingrain in me just what it is that I'm working towards. Thanks again for all you do! ~ Cornelia G., Everett, WA
Dear Cornelia ~ Congratulations on permanently removing 65 pounds of excess weight and for keeping a positive state of mind by using positive self-talk and affirmations. Permanent Fat Removal is a mind set and it sounds like you've set your mind to success! Keep up the good work! Bravo!! ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ You'd mentioned Langston Hughes in a KICK some ago and it reminded me of his poem:
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die,
Life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams go,
Life is a barren field frozen with snow. ~ Langston Hughes
And here a couple of verses that I wrote myself - 'warning' verses and 'inspirational' ones that I came up with:
Hold fast to dreams for when dreams give out,
You will not lose weight and will remain stout.
*
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams wilt,
You will eat too much and feel the guilt.
*
Hold fast to dreams for when dreams thrive,
Self esteem will soar, you will feel alive!
*
Hold fast to dreams for when dreams stay,
You will love yourself each and every day!
FYI ... I ordered two copies of your wonderful book - one for me and one to loan to my friends. Be well, and thanks for the inspiration. ~ Kat, in the woods of Manitoba
Dear Kat ~ Thanks for the wonderful and inspirational play on words, and for ordering not one but two copies of my book. You rock! ~ OLofWL

Into the "Lite" ~ Gifts that Delite the Senses!
This week's KITT Club Into the "LITE" Award is presented to Eric Harrison, author of Flip the Switch: 40 anytime, anywhere meditations in 5 minutes or less.
Who doesn't need to Flip their Switch? As a life coach, I teach that one of the most effective ways for people to get what they want, whether it's permanent fat removal or to land that big position in the sky (i.e. get the dream job), is to just calm down. That's right! It's your first step that moves you into your compelling future. Relax, take in a deep breath, turn off the chatter (your evil twin a.k.a. the critic) that gets in your way of moving forward.
Harrison's book: Flip the Switch provides quick, easy and enjoyable ways to incorporate spot meditations into your busy day. A effective way to reduce stress, clarify thoughts, release creativity and just - for goodness sake - calm down!!!! Go ahead! ... Treat yourself to a copy now (under $10 on amazon.com)
