Weighty Confession
Forgive Me for I Have Sinned
Up late working on a project for my college class, I went on a rampage and consumed two entire rows of my roommate's Oreos! I bought her a new pack, but the cookies remain, hanging onto my hips to remind me of my sin!

Counting Onions
I can remember, some years back, when I joined (for the 14th millioin time) one of those groups where people obsess about food and weight (you know what group I’m speaking of, yes?), and the leader announced that there was a change in the point system. Onions were no longer considered ‘free.’ They were now to be counted as one whole point!
The air got sucked out of the room. People panicked. They gasped. They moaned. Mary Sue screamed out, “It’s no wonder I’m not losing weight. I haven’t been counting my onions.” (Meantime, Mary Sue had chocolate stains on her jacket! But we won’t go there.)
The level of upset was so intense that I thought a committee would be formed to hit the supermarkets, confiscate the onions and burn them at the stake.
Similarly, when the FDA recently revisited food labels and announced that yesterday’s medium apple was now considered small and that the calorie count had increased from 80 calories to 150 calories, panic filled the airwaves, my phone rang off the hook and my e-mail in-box was overflowing with alarm! I did, on the one hand, empathize. Really, if you can’t count on an apple to be what you need it, want it, expect it to be, what can you count on? Nevertheless, upset aside, I counseled everyone to “Get a grip.”
Truly, if you aren’t losing weight, I seriously doubt it’s because you had a super-sized apple or two or even three and miscalculated its calorie count. It might be the bag of chips, the slice of pizza (the entire pie), that slab of birthday cake, or the constant grazing, mightn’t it?
New point of view: A large apple does not a fat person make. (Let’s not get nutty!)
What does a fat person make?

Janice's honesty, compassion, professionalism and sincerity to help came through in each phone session. Her coaching skills are tremendously effective in all areas: weight loss, relationships, career - LIFE! I learned much more about myself than I expected; specifically, the root cause of my anxiety (which was causing me to overeat). ~ Heather D.B.
The insightful nature of what Janice was able to glean from me and reflect back to me was so much more than any of my many other attempts with counseling and group work. I am filled with hope and peace each day, as I watch my body catch up to my spirit. ~ KF
Working with Janice changed everything for me. A total shift that encompassed so much more than weight loss. She is an amazing life-coach. Intuitive, insightful and non-judgmental. ~ TZ
Since I began reading Our Lady of Weight Loss (the book) and working with Janice as my coach, I have lost 12 pounds! This feels so very positive. Janice's advice, support and insights have been and will continue to be an enormous help to me, in many, many ways. ~ SB

Righteous Recipe
Kate G. from Des Moines, Iowa sends us a NICE SUMMER SALAD!
"Here's my idea for a nice summer salad. I cooked some quinoa, it was really easy I just put it in our rice cooker. It is kind of a light nutty grain. I used about a 1 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa, chopped celery about two ribs, two chopped carrots, can of rinsed and drained black beans, chopped red onion, cilantro, chopped red or yellow bell pepper. I mixed it all up in a big bowl added some Italian dressing. Even my teenage daughters liked it. Yum, you could change it to add whatever your favorite veggies are.
Thanks for your great newsletter. I look forward to my weekly Kick!

Regarding last week's KICK: Self Hypnosis Stew
Dear Our Lady, Janice, unconscious mind ~ This is my message to my unconscious mind: "Thank you for watching out for me and taking care of me. I truly appreciate all you have done. Now is a new era. I now claim a new realm of possibility for my life. I embrace my highest, best self who chooses life - giving ways to feel good rather than using food as a salve for my soul. Today I act in my own best behalf and celebrate the JOY that I am. Now I practice celebrating my inner nurturer who loves fun, laughter and rejoices in my success! Yippee! I have a new way to feel good when stress invades my peaceful tranquility. I count my blessings and laugh at the lies that sugar has told. Sugar has no hold on me. I reclaim my JOY!" ~ Carole O with 5 more lbs to go!
Dear Carole O ~ I am sure with your great attitude and words of wisdom that you have 'fed' to your unconscious mind that you will permanently remove those 5 remaining pounds post haste! You are fabulous and on your way to your new life! ~ OLofWL
* * *
Dear OLoWL ~ I would like to send my unconscious mind this message.... "Eat to Live." Currently, I live to eat, giving food power...power so I don't have to feel life at times! I am an emotional eater and it's a very hard thing to change. I am going through a lot of HUGE changes in my life right now, and I just eat so I don’t have to think about what's going on. I hate myself for it and daily wake up and say NOT TODAY...but I lose my power by the end of the day! So I'm in this vicious cycle where I lose and gain weight over and over. Help me I'm drowning!~ B.M.
Dear B.M.~ The fact that you sent me a letter stating that you are an emotional eater speaks to your wanting to change and that you have already begun to stop the 'lose and gain cycle.' How about trying a new way of being. Instead of losing to gain; you can gain to reduce. There is no longer a need for you to gain any more. You have already gained enough to reduce. It's wonderful to know that you can no longer need to gain, isn't it? It's time to reduce.
I also want to say that I know how it is to not like oneself. The greatest gift I gave myself by permanently removing 55 pounds was to like myself; even love myself. Life is short. Hating oneself is a terrible waste of effort and energy. If you'd like a free consultation, please me know. If I could make any difference in the world it would be to end 'self-hatred.' Overweight or not. You are magnificent! ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ You asked if men are reading the newsletter. Yes! I love your KIT club, and always scan the emails. I KNOW what I need to do: exercise more, eat less. It is a simple formula, but I get busy, and forget to exercise, and it is too easy to eat high calorie snacks. When I exercise, I feel better about myself, and then limit my intake.
I will get your book soon. I WOULD be interested in a virtual men's group. Thanks for listening. ~ Brad
Dear Brad ~ I think that's an excellent idea. Buy Our Lady of Weight Loss's book NOW! I'm betting the book inspires, motivates and keeps you moving into the 'lite' . . . Thanks for writing! And I'll keep the virtual men's group in mind. ~ OLofWL

"When I called on Janice, I had been stuck at the same weight for close to three months. I had reached that plateau that many reach, where one loses their footing on the road to healthy weight loss. Allowing myself to take a long three month break from my diet when Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled around and I got off track. During the 4 weeks that I worked with Janice, I lost 7 pounds and since then, have been much better adhering to my weight loss plan. Things make sense again. I felt supported, listened to, and encouraged by our four talks. It was a gift to myself speaking to Janice and I recommend her coaching to anyone who wants more support and guidance and help." ~ Rosemary R., Greenwich Village
"Janice Taylor has been a truly inspirational weight loss coach. Through her creative insight I have found my "artists' soul", making the journey to my new lifestyle fulfilling and utterly satisfying. And I permanently removed over 40 pounds of excess weight! " L~ Brooklyn. NY
"Janice has 'been there' and knows the struggle. She offers practical suggestions and inspirational guidance. Her sense of humor and high spiritedness put me at east and helped to make weight loss fun!" - Felice, PA.
"I look forward to each session with Janice and feel energized afterward, leaving with constructive suggestions and strategies as to how to deal with situations as well as food. Janice is inspiring and keeps me motivated." - Joyce, CT.
