TURN A DEAF EAR TO CAKE

Many of my clients tell me that they feel as if they are entitled to a treat after a long, hard day at work or a complicated day at home.  “I deserve to have a piece of cake.”

The truth is that you deserve way more than a slice of cake, (no, I am not inferring that you deserve the entire cake!).  Cake only lasts for a short second and then it turns on a dime (or a crumb) into a self-deprecating rant.

You deserve to have what you really, really want, which I believe is to feel at peace, to love and accept yourself, to be free of any and all self-deprecating and self-sabotaging thoughts. Letting go of the negativity will lighten your load, for sure!

Instead of turning to a piece of cake … try turning a deaf ear to cake and one or more of Our Lady of Weight Loss’s A Baker’s Dozen: Thirteen Ways to Reward Yourself after a Hard Day and Night !!! 

1. Curl up in the corner and read that book that you’ve had your eye on (oh, could it be Our Lady of Weight Loss . . . Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal???)

2. Download your favorite i-Tune for only $1.29 or so …  a cheap thrill!

3. Order groceries on-line, with your feet up.  (A weigh-safer way to shop, even if you are hungry).

4. Go for a ride on a motorcycle (wear a helmet, please!.  Another thrill ride if ever there was one!

5. Send the laundry out – let someone else fold the towels. Good idea, right?

6. String a hammock in your back yard and swing baby, swing.  Ahhhh!

7. Get a manicure and a 10-minute massage! Make that a 15 minute massage.  If you usually get a plain Jane color, go bold – if you usually go bold, tone it down.

8. Go to the movies, alone. This way you don’t have to be concerned whether your friend/mate/spouse likes it or not.

9. Take a walk on a hiking trail or in a park, or around your neighborhood.  Walking instead of driving about will give you a different perspective on life!

10. Take in deep cleansing breaths. Don’t underestimate breathing. It’s an amazing thing!

11. Rent a convertible and go for a joy ride.  Blast the radio or your favorite CD while toolin’ around the country side.

12. Go mehndi. Mehndi is the Indian word for Henna. Henna is a beautiful and natural plant product that stains the skin a reddish brown color. When applied properly and in intricate designs you have a natural and temporary “tattoo” that gradually fades away as the skin regenerates.

13. Dye your hair a new color – or brighten up your highlights.

You get the point, yes?  What’s your reward for a hard day and/or night???
