Biz always tells me I have all the answers, just have never been asked the right questions.

For years, I have done my own research–whether it be for health, exercise, enlightenment, organizing, or diet. I like to do things on my own, have always considered myself to be fairly self motivated and willing to try most ideas to see if they work.  As I got older, it became harder and harder to find something that did work with my body changing, work requirements, time, and stress.  It seemed no matter what – anything that had worked in the past, no longer […]

“I know how to lose weight; in fact, I can do that part really well.  So how come I can’t keep it off?”

Almost every client coming into my life has uttered those frustrating words (or similar) during our first moments together.

It’s been my experience these women and men are pretty darn fantastic at so many arenas; however, this one area confounds them.

They are not alone.

Weight loss is a 60 billion dollar industry in the United States.  Numerous people are trying yet another weight loss diet.  The industry is chalk full of amazing promises, such as this BRAND NEW thing […]

Support: Time to Restore

During my morning Facebook perusing, this was on my timeline*.  I love stuff that makes me think. And this was one of those things.

For those of you not wanting to make the trip over to FB, let me share what I am talking about. It was 10 things you can do to recharge.  The list was interesting, it included gems like:

  • No emailing after work hours
  • Read in the tub
  • Take a real lunch break
  • Laugh… more

The list continued comprising 10 things this person considered vital for her personal recharging.

The list is great!  However, for me, there are some I wouldn’t consider beneficial.  […]

Support: Self Image

Support: Self Image

Take Care of Your Body. It’s the Only Place You Have to Live. ~ Jim Rohn

In the world of weight control, self-image has come up a lot. For many, the ONLY reason to reach their goal weight is self-image.

Not us though, right? We are on a quest for health!

::giggle::

Low self-image or self-esteem, can negatively affect almost every part of our lives, from our most precious relationships to our jobs, and ultimately, our health. But the good news is that we can raise the level of our self-image, even if we’ve had a low self-image since we were kids.

It’s as simple […]

Just because you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town. ~ George Carlin

“Mom, I don’t need Ruffles. If they hurt you, don’t buy them,” said my [at the time] 11-year-old daughter, who is so much wiser than her years.

Simplicity at its finest. No excuses. No regrets. No blame. Just the truth from someone who has my back.

That short, sweet sentence launched the beginning of the end of my addiction.

There, I said it. I’m a recovering addict.

And I’m being completely serious.

Addiction therapy gurus tell us that to overcome an addiction, we first have to admit […]

When you begin the Protocol, you will spend a lot of time thinking about dieting. In fact, I bet you will think about the Protocol all day long. Some of you may even dream about it.

And that’s ok. When something is new, it’s normal to want to learn about it so you can do your best.

But, one of our goals in the program is to put your focus beyond just the weight loss. In truth, we believe that maintenance is the true goal. And to successfully reach that goal, we have found that focusing on more than dieting and food […]

Support: Maintaining

Maintaining your weight is the most important part of the protocol because it’s the part that will be there for the rest of your life.

Dr. Simeons recommends maintaining your weight during every break you take until you reach your goal. In fact, he says to stay within two pounds of our last injection weight (LIW) during breaks. This window serves as your boundary during both phase 3 of the protocol (three weeks during which we refrain from eating sugars and starches) and phase 4 (without specific dietary restrictions).

Regardless of whether you are on a break or have reached your […]

The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence. ~ Henry Ford

GPS Navigation systems are wonderful!  Entering your desired destination can make getting there much easier.  However, even with my GPS, sometimes I still make a wrong turn or miss an exit.  When I do, the GPS responds with one word, “Recalculating”.  Meaning we will still get there but it will take longer.  The GPS never gets angry or puts me down.  It never tells me […]
