1. BALANCE:<\/strong> Permanent weight loss is about living a balanced life. It\u2019s about looking at all areas of your life \u2013 physical health, mental health, relationships, finances, career, fun, creativity, spirituality, physical environment, time \u2013 and creating them so that they support YOU to live your best life (or a better life). Focusing only on weight loss will not serve you well. You may lose it; but without creating balance in all areas of your life, you will in all likelihood find it again. We\u2019re talking PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS here!<\/p>\n 2. COMMITMENT<\/strong>: Make a commitment to YOU, all of you, every aspect of you. Losing weight won\u2019t fix what\u2019s wrong with your finances. Gathering buckets of money won\u2019t help you to lose weight.\u00a0 Do this for YOU and your body!<\/p>\n 3. THE SCALE:<\/strong> Do NOT get hung up on the number on the scale. Do you know what the scale really measures \u2013 scientifically that is? Every object in the universe with mass attracts every other object with mass. (Some more massive than others!) Therefore, there is a pull \u2013 a force \u2013 an attraction ) between you and the Earth. Your bathroom scale measures gravitational pull!! Nowhere in scientific date \u2013 that I could find \u2013 does it state that the scale measures HIDEOUS FAT. Nor does it say that you are BAD!<\/p>\n 4. VISIONING:<\/strong> Envision your compelling future. What would you ultimately like your life to be like? See every detail. From where you would live, what you would do, what you are wearing! See, feel, hear and smell (if you can! Perhaps the honeysuckle in the air; or the slicing of a lemon.) every aspect of this clear picture. Write it down. And now make it come true. One step at a time.<\/p>\n 5. SAFE HAVEN:<\/strong> Keeping your home clear of the Devil\u2019s Food, red light items, things that send you off on a binge is essential! Making your home a safe haven affords you an opportunity to establish healthy, solid habits. It is essential that you create an environment that supports your permanent fat removal efforts; a place where you are as free as possible from excessive food thoughts.<\/p>\n 6. DE-CLUTTER:\u00a0 <\/strong>I\u2019ve been both organized and disorganized, I can tell you the 2nd is the better way. Not only do you NOT waste time endlessly searching for stuff, but there\u2019s a mysterious calm one finds in organization.<\/p>\n 7. BE IMPERFECT:<\/strong> There is no need to be perfect. It would be unbelievably boring if we were perfect. So dry, unpleasant, Stepford Wife-Like that we would seek imperfection. Revel in your imperfection.<\/p>\n 8. BE YOUR PASSION: <\/strong> Jump head first into the thing you love to do the most. As they say, \u201cDo what you love and the money will come.\u201d Our Lady of Weight Loss says, \u201cJump headfirst into passion and the fat cells will melt!\u201d Life will improve in ways you never imagined. You will be focused on what you love, feel less-stressed, be more productive, procrastinate less. The energy will shift dramatically. Can you feel it now?<\/p>\n 9. FILL UP ON HAPPINESS: <\/strong> I was recently talking to one of my star coaching clients (each and everyone of you a star in your own way). Betty (the names have been changed to protect the innocent) said, \u201cI know I should fill up on happiness instead of food.\u201d Her comment led to a rich and satisfying conversation about happiness and how it affects our weight. It is a way bigger challenge to stay the course, and lose weight when you are feeling unhappy, depressed or sad; isn\u2019t it? Weight loss is about a lot more than just food and exercise. How will you FILL UP ON HAPPINESS?<\/p>\n 10. WAKE UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED!<\/strong>\u00a0 You are 25 times more open to suggestion as you wake. Pay attention to what thoughts first surface, and if these first thoughts are not helpful, simply turn them around. Repeat your positive thought(s) a few times. Hold on to those good feelings for a moment or two. And then, \u2018see\u2019 the thought and imagine carrying this thought with you throughout the day.<\/p>\n Janice<\/em><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Become a Tushkateer!
