\"OLHappy 2014, Tushkateers!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> How y’all doing?\u00a0 So far, so good?\u00a0 Maybe?\u00a0 For those 60% who are experiencing “The Freeze,” is it cold enough for you?\u00a0 OMG!!!\u00a0 Just writing about it makes my fingers cold! \u00a0 Please know that we (Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a><\/b>, me and my blooming amaryllis) <\/i>are sending warm thoughts, and a link to my very funny video<\/b><\/i>, entitled “The Freeze Your Ass Off Diet<\/b><\/i>.<\/a>”\u00a0 Laughter warms the body and soul, and it is an oldie but goodie, for sure!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of oldies but goodies, just the other day when I was downtown at The Incubator<\/b><\/i> (formerly known as the art studio; renamed because I find that I think and incubate ideas when there like mad<\/i>), thumbing through a stack of vintage magazines, primarily from the 1960’s, looking for artful images that inspire, I came across an article from Good Housekeeping, September 1963 entitled:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

YOU & YOUR DIET:\u00a0 All the News to Keep You Fit and Trim!
\nTen commandments to help you reduce successfully.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My first thoughts was, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0 Well, actually my first thought was, “Gee, I wonder of Dr. Oz read the same article before he wrote his gaggle of YOU books.”<\/i>\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Then, I reviewed the ten commandments!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bottom line, the basics of permanent weight loss have been out there for decades, and yet, we are still looking for a magic bullet.\u00a0 (See my gallery piece for Beliefnet.com entitled, “Extreme Food Diets<\/a>.”<\/i> A fun, wise and utterly useful read.)\u00a0 So…without further ado…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here, Good Housekeeping, giving it to you straight up; no playful wording, telling it like it is:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ten Commandments to Help You Reduce Successfully.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Only your own zeal to lose weight and your willingness to fight the temptation of good food will bring success in reducing.\u00a0 To help you stick to a rigid regiment, Good Housekeeping’s Bureau proposes these 10 commandments:<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Be sure your diet is deficient in nothing but calories; all other essential must be in correct amounts and proportions.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Avoid skipping meals.\u00a0 Overeating usually follows in the wake of hunger pangs.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Deviate as little as possible from sound, normal eating habits.\u00a0 It will be lots easier to stay on your diet and not regain lost pounds.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Eat a minimum of 1,200 calories a day (1,500 to 1,600 for people doing hard, physical work).\u00a0 This should allow for a weight loss of 1.5 to 2 pounds a week–fast enough when you consider how long it took to acquire unwanted pounds.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Cut down overall, rather than eliminating or emphasizing any particular food.\u00a0 Remember a sound reducing diet is never freakish.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Exercise daily–even if only a brisk walk.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Eat slowly.\u00a0 Not only will you really taste and ejoy your food, but the stomach will have time to signal when you’ve had enough.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Stay busy so boredom doesn’t tempt you to overeat.\u00a0 Evening hours can be a dieter’s downfall.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Keep your lost weight lost–otherwise the job is only half done.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Resign yourself–dieting may be forever.\u00a0 As you grow older, caloric demands decrease, so start now to review your eating habits.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, what do you think?\u00a0 What do you hear? What resonates most? Any insights?\u00a0 Share, share, share!\u00a0 Join Our Lady of Weight Loss’s KICK in the TUSH CLUB\/FB<\/a> for scintillating conversation and for mad support!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wishing you a spectacularly sunny week!\u00a0 Inside and outside, for sure, but with particular emphasis on the inside sunny!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
