Your gain is my pain! Contact Janice Taylor, Life & Wellness Coach, Hypnotherapist, Weight Loss Expert, Author, Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many of my clients tell me that they feel as if they are entitled to a treat after a long, hard day at work or a complicated day at home.\u00a0 They say, \u201cI deserve to have a piece of cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

The truth is that you deserve way more than a slice of cake, (no, I am not inferring that you deserve the entire cake!). Cake only lasts for a short second and then it turns on a dime (or a crumb) into a self-deprecating rant.<\/p>\n

You deserve to have what you really, really want, which I believe is to feel at peace, to love and accept yourself, to be free of any and all self-deprecating and self-sabotaging thoughts. Letting go of the negativity will lighten your load, for sure!<\/p>\n

Instead of turning to a piece of cake \u2026 try turning a deaf ear to cake and one or more of Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s A Baker\u2019s Dozen: Thirteen Ways to Reward Yourself at the End of a Hard Day as you Revel in the Glory of Your Greatness<\/strong><\/em> (Whew! Now there’s a mouthful!)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Curl up in the corner and read that book that you\u2019ve had your eye on (oh, could it be Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>!)<\/li>\n
  2. Download your favorite i-Tune for only $1.29 (more or less). A cheap thrill!<\/li>\n
  3. Order groceries on-line, with your feet up. (A weigh-safer way to shop, even if you are hungry).<\/li>\n
  4. Go for a ride on a motorcycle (wear a helmet, please!).<\/li>\n
  5. Send the laundry out \u2013 let someone else fold the towels.<\/li>\n
  6. String a hammock in your back yard and swing baby, swing.<\/li>\n
  7. Get a manicure and a 10-minute massage! If you usually get a plain jane color, go bold – if you usually go bold, tone it down.<\/li>\n
  8. Go to the movies, alone. (So great not to have to worry if others like the movie, or not.)<\/li>\n
  9. Take a walk on a hiking trail or in a park, or around your neighborhood. Walking instead of driving about will give you a different perspective on where you live.<\/li>\n
  10. Take in deep cleansing breaths. Don’t underestimate breathing. It’s an amazing thing!<\/li>\n
  11. Rent a convertible and go for a joy ride. Blast the radio or your favorite CD while toolin\u2019 around the country side.<\/li>\n
  12. Go Mehndi. Mehndi is the Indian word for Henna. Henna is a beautiful and natural plant product that stains the skin a reddish brown color. When applied properly and in intricate designs you have a natural and temporary “tattoo” that gradually fades away as the skin regenerates.<\/li>\n
  13. Dye your hair a new color \u2013 or brighten up your highlights.For more solid, smart, utterly useful and fun advice, join Our Lady of Weight Loss\u2019s Kick in the Tush Club\/FB<\/a>!And\u2013for the full skinny sign up for Janice Taylor\u2019s (monthly) Kick in the Tush Club newsletter<\/a>!\n
