\n

Dearest Tushkateers,<\/i><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0 How are you on this magnificent December morning (afternoon or evening)?<\/i>\u00a0 I am super-splendido, in awe of nature, happy to have witnessed last night\u2019s moon halo!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, T\u2019teers, there was a major-league glorious ring around Ms. Moon that was caused by the refraction of moonlight from ice crystals in the upper atmosphere.\u00a0 Amazeballs, yes?!<\/p>\n

Feed my soul; fill me up with nature!<\/b><\/i>\u00a0 Imagine just for a moment, if you will, spending an entire day (week, month or more) appreciating the beauty around us.\u00a0 Never mind the daily challenges, glitches, run-ins, etc.\u00a0 Just set your mind to notice, to become aware of the amazing mystery of it all; the mind-bending beauty of it all.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

OMG!\u00a0 I just inspired myself (ha!) to carry a little notebook around with me today to record at least (minimum, can exceed the number) 10 #AmazeBall moments!\u00a0 Or\u2014maybe I\u2019ll just talk into my \u2018smart\u2019 phone microphone and transcribe them later?\u00a0 Either way\u2026Care to join???\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Both Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> and I can guarantee you that if you did that\u2026focused on the beauty, the mystery of nature\u2026your struggles with emotional eating will lessen and you will lighten up!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of lightening up and amazeballs weight loss happenings, I want to share some mind-blowing permanent weight removal news and information with you that is sure to inspire, motivate and help you on your journey to Sveltesville!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Without naming names (as my work with you and my one-on-one clients is personal and protected),<\/i> two of my clients have reached major milestones this week.\u00a0\u00a0 One, whose initials are C.W., permanently removed over 35 pounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Start date: July 4.\u00a0 Five (5) months, 21.7406 weeks, averaging 1.6 pounds per week.<\/p>\n

Another client, whose initials are C.F., with whom I started working end-July, has permanent removed 30 pounds.\u00a0 Approximately 1.5 pounds per week.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Major congrats to both!\u00a0 I believe in you, I am so happy for you and proud of you!<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Aside from practicing Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s 10 Commandments of Permanent Weight Removal<\/a> they STOPPED beating themselves up for food and behavior digressions; they STOPPED feeling guilty!\u00a0 They LET GO of any and all shameful feelings!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, you tell me, T\u2019teers\u2026has guilt or shame ever helped anyone (weight loss or otherwise)? No!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Guilt is an emotional experience that occurs when a person believes that he\/she has violated a moral standard.\u00a0\u00a0 Guilt can overwhelm us and block the rest of our emotions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, you can become so consumed with feeling guilty that you are unable to fully experience joy!\u00a0 When you are feeling guilty, you may not be able to sort out your feelings, which can lead to impulsive decisions and behaviors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, T\u2019teers.\u00a0 Overeating, emotional eating, overindulging in junk food is not a crime nor is it a misdemeanor.\u00a0 Is does not warrant negative self-talk, which only serves to erode confidence and self-esteem and eventually leads to a tsunami of defeat.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What to do?<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 Awareness first and foremost.\u00a0 Note that you are feeling badly about the your food choices; about yourself.\u00a0\u00a0 Note the thoughts, the negative self-talk, the myriad of feelings. \u00a0 And then\u2026with eyes closed, click your heels together and repeat Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s mantra\u00a0 three (3) times \u201cAll is forgiven, move on.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are still feeling guilty, unhappy, stuck; if you are still beating yourself up with the shame stick, then confess your sins to Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> and she will forgive you!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss,
\nForgive Me for I Have Sinned<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I am guilty.<\/p>\n

On a sugar HI\u2026
\n\u2026flying high,
\nrunning wild through
\nand around, up and down
\nthe supermarket aisles\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sampling!
\nAnd sampling some more!<\/p>\n

Breaking into boxes,
\ntearing open bags,
\ncareening off track\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026there I go, forever more?
\nSave me, please, Our Lady of Weight Loss!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Guilty Sampler<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

***<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Guilty Sampler, <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All Is Forgiven, Move On!
\nOur Lady of Weight Loss<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Got it, Tushkateers?<\/b><\/i>\u00a0 You no longer need to carry that heavy load of guilt and\/or shame around with you. There\u2019s no need to berate, beat up, dump on, dislike, criticize, be angry with, pass judgment on yourself ever again!\u00a0 Lighten your load!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Good! Good! Good!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
