Greetings Tushkateers<\/a>*!!!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boo Hoo or just Boo?<\/strong>
\nIF you still have candy in your house, then toss it NOW!\u00a0 I’ll wait … yup.\u00a0 I’m just gonna’ sit here (all day if I have to) and wait till you’ve given it away, tossed it, gotten rid of all things sugary.\u00a0 (Tic Toc Sound)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay! Good.\u00a0 I feel better; don’t you?\u00a0<\/em>
\nNow we begin anew: a new week, a new month and a new way of being!\u00a0 Today, we begin the Holiday Season with a sugar-free smile on our face!\u00a0 Lest we are sunk before we even begin.<\/p>\n

And speaking of being sunk, Marcia M. writes<\/em> …<\/p>\n

Dear OLofWL ~\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> I can’t wrap my head around the fact that yet another holiday season is before us; and I weigh as much (if not more) than I did last year, even though I promised myself that 2011 would be THE year.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to quit and pretend that it’s okay, because being heavy is not making me happy.\u00a0 Quite the opposite. All those extra layers and heft cover the ‘real’ me.\u00a0 I’m huffing and puffing when I take the stairs. \u00a0 When I drop something, I ask someone else to pick it up for me.\u00a0 God forbid someone sees my fat a**.<\/p>\n

You know, it’s not that I don’t love myself.\u00a0 I actually have a fairly high opinion of myself.\u00a0 It’s just that I’m ‘fat’ and I’m short-changing myself.\u00a0 Please give me a ‘kick in the tush<\/em>.’\u00a0 How can I make this year THE year?\u00a0 I’m tired of this.\u00a0 Really tired! ~ M.M. (and I don’t mean M&Ms!).\u00a0 Marcia M.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Marcia M. ~\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>Since your email popped up in my in-box, I’ve been thinking long and hard about Permanent Weight Removal and specifically how one might flip their “on” switch to “ON!”<\/p>\n

Experience ‘the pain of being heavy.’<\/strong>
\nHuman-beings will do anything to avoid pain.\u00a0 If being heavy, if carrying that extra weight is more emotionally painful than saying ‘no’ to large portions of comfort food, then you will be inclined to ‘just say no.’\u00a0 However, if saying ‘no’ is more painful than being heavy, you will be inclined to say ‘yes’ to excess food.<\/p>\n

Your first step is to really get in touch with all that being heavy is robbing from you.\u00a0 Feel the extent to which you are ‘tired of being heavy!’\u00a0 Feel it BIG!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, experience what letting go of those extra pounds will give you.<\/strong>\u00a0 Experience it as it has already happened.\u00a0 What does the gift of increased, clear and happy energy<\/strong> feel like?\u00a0 The gift of self-confidence<\/strong>?\u00a0 Of peace<\/strong>?\u00a0 Of calm<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

At the end of the night, after a day of eating healthfully, how does it feel to put on your fun and\/or slinky pj’s, crawl into bed, reflect on your day,\u00a0 smile and feel good about yourself<\/strong>?\u00a0 What does ‘being in control’<\/strong> feel like?\u00a0 Stop now, sit and imagine what those gifts feel like. <\/em><\/p>\n

Consider how it feels like to drop something and bend over in clear view of the world, wiggle your tush – as they look.\u00a0 It’s more about pride vs. shame; then how you look.\u00a0 Feel PRIDE!<\/p>\n

FEELING is your first step toward freedom<\/strong>!\u00a0 Feel and then let’s talk!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!<\/em>

PS:\u00a0 Please – all of you.\u00a0\u00a0 THINK, FEEL and write me.\u00a0<\/strong> What are your insights?\u00a0 3 short insights please.<\/strong>\u00a0 Less than a paragraph, please.\u00a0 Lest I will be stuffed with words and not able to answer!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 WRITE ME.\u00a0 in the subject line: FEELING ….<\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>(If you do NOT write FEELING in the subject line, it makes it very difficult for me to find and answer. Thank you!)<\/p>\n
