Weight Loss for Us Normal, Non-Celebrity Folks

Chances are, if you’ve found this particular blog, you and I have a lot in common … and the common denominator that unites us is likely the ever-present, pesky subject matter known as “weight control.”  Am I right?

Hey, look … for some of us, myself included, throughout our entire lives, weight has always been in the forefront of our minds – either talking down to ourselves for an inability to morph into the same shape or size as the cover girls and celebrities that appear on magazine covers and television shows that we see at our every turn (especially if you’re a celebri-gossip junky like me.)  Or, carrying on raging internal dialogues with ourselves about how we’ve “just got to lose weight,” but don’t do anything about it, and then feel guilty about our lack of action – we, then, seek comfort through our friend, “food,” thus perpetuating a cataclysmic cycle that undermines, and sometimes derails, any weight control goals we may have set for ourselves.  Or, we think, “I’ve lost weight before … I’ll just put it back on again … so, what’s the point?  Think I’ll eat that donut over there …”  Do thoughts like that sound familiar? 

If they do, then – yes, we are compadres in the on-going battle to take control of our weight.  We are sisters (some brothers, but mostly sisters according to our demographics) united in the fact that keeping weight off just doesn’t come naturally to us.  For whatever reason, either physiologically or psychologically, our relationship with food has been, up until now, unhealthy in a variety of ways, and on many different levels. 

But, you know what?  We’re in this together, and we CAN lose that weight!  And, if you stick with me, I’ll share with you how.  I am not a doctor, nor am I a nutritionist, nor am I a weight-loss company trying to sell you a weight-loss program, nor am I someone trying to get you to subscribe to anything.  As you get to know me through this journey, you’ll see that I am an honest, down-to-earth person whose only ulterior motive is to share with people in similar situations as mine what has worked for me, what I’ve learned, what I’ve discovered, and how great I feel to have figured out a weight-loss solution.  Call it want you want to … a diet, a lifestyle, a life program, etc. – I’m not here to tell you what to do, and I don’t want to let semantics get in the way.  I’m here to share with you what’s worked well for me, and you can glean from that what you need to in order to have this information fit into your life and work for you, too.  It’s not rocket science, but I have an awful lot to share with you, so let’s get started and have a whole bunch of fun along the way, too!  You in?  I am!!  C’mon … let’s go!!
