Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>~ I went back to school.\u00a0 I received a B.A. in anthropology, which may sound impressive, but guess what\u2026it hasn\u2019t translated into a real-life job.\u00a0 Sadly, for the past couple of years, I\u2019ve been hopping from job to job, which hasn\u2019t been very fulfilling.\u00a0 Actually, it\u2019s been fairly frustrating and draining.<\/p>\n

I thought about getting my master\u2019s, thinking that might open the door to more job opportunities, but mostly I complained and made excuses, saying that going back to school is too expensive, too hard, too tough, too everything.<\/p>\n

And then one day, seemingly out of the blue, I w0ke up and decided to move away from anthropology and, instead, become a physician\u2019s assistant.\u00a0 My first step was to enroll in a chemistry class at my local community college, which I did, and wow-what a life-changing happening that was!<\/p>\n

If you are wondering what this has to do with weight loss, I\u2019ll tell you, although I think you already know, because I learned this from you!\u00a0 Working towards a long-term goal, in this case my career, created a shot of energy, which facilitated a major attitude adjustment, and an entirely new perspective.<\/p>\n

Just like I used to whine about going back to school, I used to say “I can never lose this weight.” But, guess what!\u00a0 It\u2019s simply not true!\u00a0 Since I started school, I feel like I can accomplish anything; anything including dropping those extra pounds.\u00a0\u00a0 This new, empowered attitude has resulted in my losing over 10 pounds, so far!<\/p>\n

Suddenly, I get what you\u2019ve been saying all along.\u00a0 Permanent weight loss is less about the food and more about my life!\u00a0 I truly believe that our consult, the one where you planted the seeds of success came to bear fruit.\u00a0\u00a0 The seeds took hold, and one day the seeds pushed out of the ground and sprouted a better life.\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 ~ Mary S.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Dear Mary S.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 ~ Congratulations on your new career, your attitude adjustment, and your incredibly powerful and positive point of view.\u00a0 Oh, and the weight loss, too! Woo hoo!!!<\/p>\n

It is true, Mary.\u00a0 When we fill up on life, give ourselves what we need and desire, we are far less likely to fill up on excessive amounts of food.\u00a0 When we focus on life, in its entirety\u2026our relationships, our environments (home\/office\u2014clutter, cleanliness), our spirituality, creativity, finances and more; when we get our inner home in order, a shift takes place.\u00a0 A tremendous shift of tectonic proportions!\u00a0 Weight loss is actually the secondary gain! (Ha!\u00a0 I love that!!!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks much for sharing your thoughts, your process and your success with us!\u00a0 I am pleased and grateful to have played a part in your life.\u00a0 You did the work, Mary!\u00a0 Well done! ~ Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
