What is a Creative Act of Weight Loss?<\/strong> \u00a0 (I thought you’d never ask!)<\/em><\/p>\n

A <\/em><\/strong>Creative Act of Weight Loss<\/strong><\/em> is anything and everything that we do that moves us away from emotional eating, that feeds our soul, that keeps us out of the kitchen!!!\u00a0 That helps us to ultimately permanently let go of those excess pounds!<\/p>\n

It goes without say (but I’ll say it anyway)<\/em> that Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>‘s Get Jiggy Weight Loss JigSaw Puzzles are Creative Acts of Weight Loss.<\/p>\n

And … yes, this week’s Get Jiggy Puzzle, Polishing Your Tiara,<\/a> is a creative act of weight loss!<\/p>\n

How many Creative Acts of Weight Loss can you come up with and put into action???<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 To help get you started, here follows 10 from All Is Forgiven, Move On<\/a> (one of OLofWL’s books<\/a> that is sure to inspire, motivate and cause you to bust up laughing!)<\/em><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take a hot bath and imagine that the fat cells are melting into the hot water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Create a pair of invisible goggles that will obstruct your vision when within 50 feet of a bakery!\u00a0 <\/strong>Yup, they\u2019re invisible \u2013 only supply needed is your imagination!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Visit your nearest dog run.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have a dog, borrow one.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great place to meet people!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grow herbs.<\/strong>\u00a0 An outdoor garden or an indoor garden.\u00a0 The smell is incredible and using fresh herbs is a heavenly treat.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pull weeds<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve ever had any kind of garden or yard that was overcome with weeds, you\u2019ll know what I mean when I say that pulling weeds is very satisfying.\u00a0 Yank out frustration, anger \u2013 it\u2019s a good way to get your energy pumping.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mambo Italiano<\/strong>.\u00a0 Do the mambo to Rosemary Clooney\u2019s rendition.\u00a0 You\u2019ll burn calories while dancing and you\u2019ll feel happy, too.\u00a0 Those endorphins will be pumping, wildly!<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bowl<\/strong> \u2026 put a team together! Design pink jackets and call yourself the OLofWL Lucky Strikes.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Read the menu as if it is a poem.\u00a0 <\/strong>Garlic bread, lightly toasted.\u00a0 Chocolate meringue for dessert. My tongue licks my lips\u00a0 – clean. (Then order \u2018lite.\u2019)<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sing.<\/strong>\u00a0 Loud! Let your frustrations out while you belt out a song.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0\u00a0 Dye your hair!<\/strong> Something outrageous. Something bright.\u00a0 Be bold.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 not the icing!<\/p>\n
