My Last New Years Weight Loss Resolution…Ever! (January 2014)

“Much like the plant in the show Little Shop of Horrors, my internal cookie monster is ignited, not tamed, by holiday goodies. As my internal voice of moderation is overwhelmed by its evil twin who whispers, “feeeed me”, I make one more promise to myself that on New Year’s Day I will start a diet program that will magically fix me. A program that will take over all responsibility for my eating habits…and my waistline. I entertain happy visions of being within the benevolent aura of this magical program, believing that once it works its miracle, the sheer joy of being skinny will keep me skinny forever!”…Fabulous Paleo Recipe Website…

Under The Influence of Saboteurs…Or Not! (Holidays 2013)

“I spent years creating an extraordinarily undermining food history with most of my long time friends. They still enjoy regaling their friends with stories of my gluttony and the extremes I would go to to balance off the damage. For me, the fun was the food. If we happened to do something else while eating, like talk to each other, well that was a bonus, but definitely secondary.”…January 2014 Detox…Busted Metabolism Seminar

Halloween – Trick Me or Treat Me? (October 2013)

“Halloween, that predictable candy blowout, lends itself to a short but sweet discussion of how fellow compatriots of the weight management wars have been able to successfully navigate this holiday and treat it like what it is…just a day.

Let’s first dispose of that unnecessarily miserly and Spartan attitude about weight management that I must learn to deny myself all pleasure to succeed at sustaining my target weight. Not only not true, but an empty threat that only serves to make me want to abandon the idea of this grim and impossible purgatory and start on miniature KitKats this very minute.”…Hmmm…Oreos or Cocaine?…The Anti-Anxiety Food Solution

Back To School – New Year, New Structure (September 2013)

“Lord knows, with all the traveling sports teams, Hebrew classes, volunteer organizations, Scouts, SAT tutors, music lessons, dance recitals, school plays, etc., it is akin to creating the schedule for the Port Authority. And if you can manage that (and you all do) it’s just a hop, skip and a jump to apply that skill to structuring your own food and exercise plans. Do you realize how good you already are at this?”…I’m Tired and Wired and Can’t Lose Weight, Help!…The Immune System Recovery Program…

The January Jump Start Is Over. Now What? (January 2013)

“It’s not that a weight loss program couldn’t provide me with a great running start. It often did. It was only when I was suckered into the promise that there is a magic fix, that I would be a changed individual by the mere fact that I was now a thinner individual that I got myself into trouble – no relearning of habits required, no figuring out how to come back from a fall, no contingency plans for when I didn’t follow their plan. Get real. Skinny is not a destination.”…You Can’t Fool Mother Nature – Building Bones, Not Clogged Arteries…Honey, We’re Saving Our Kids…
