It’s time to Chew the Fat with Our Lady of Weight Loss!\u00a0 Up for discussion?\u00a0 Quick fixes.\u00a0 For or against? Read On and Weigh In!<\/p>\n

Dear OLofWL<\/em> ~ I \u2018googled\u2019 QUICK WEIGHT LOSS and HOW TO LOSE 20 POUNDS FAST and low n\u2019 behold, YOU popped up on my screen! I read through some of your writings, and I get it, I really do. You may have written about those topics, but it\u2019s not what you believe. It\u2019s not the route you took.<\/p>\n

Reluctantly, I agree. And even though I know for sure that losing 20 pounds in two weeks is not healthy, and maybe not even possible, still \u2026 I want it to be so. Why is that? Why can\u2019t I get it through my \u2018thick and fat\u2019 skull that there are no quick fixes? ~ A.T. from Tennessee<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear A.T. from Tennessee ~<\/em> I suppose it\u2019s human nature. Seems like we\u2019d all like to wake up \u201cthin, rich and beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the one hand, it would be lovely to simply imagine what we want, think positive thoughts and step back and watch it happen. Yes, No? Maybe; maybe not?<\/p>\n

Before we jump on the \u201cinstant fix\u201d bandwagon, let\u2019s consider that there\u2019s something in the work, the process, the nuances, the lessons along the way that \u201cfeeds our soul\u201d in a way that \u201cinstant happiness\u201d just can not.<\/p>\n

Permanent Fat Removal (weight loss, weight reduction, call it what you like) is a process. There\u2019s true beauty in the process. The process presents an incredible opportunity for you to make a real commitment to YOU.<\/p>\n

There is a joy in overcoming the obstacles. There is strength in making a commitment; a true, hard-core commitment. Instead of \u201cfighting\u201d against yourself and what you need to do to create health, consider \u201cembracing\u201d the journey. Embrace healthy foods, deep breathing; embrace being thoughtful.<\/p>\n

Step into your \u201cweight loss warrior\u201d outfit (whatever that might look like to you) and commit to utilizing weight loss as an opportunity for reinvention and transformation.<\/p>\n

You might find a program out there that promises quick weight loss and delivers it too, but \u2026 but \u2026 will you keep \u201cit\u201d off? Or maybe find \u201cit\u201d again?<\/p>\n

Please consider rethinking what QUICK really means. Choose the meaningful route. Embrace transformation! Whatever lessons you learn on the Road to Sveltesville (not the super, fast highway where collisions are plentiful but the long and winding, beautiful road to Sveltesville) can be applied to every area of your life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s NOT about your weight; it is about your life! ~ OLofWL<\/em><\/p>\n
