Close your eyes and relax. Think of a time when food was NOT involved. A time when life was light and airy and you floated along. Remember that peace and calm?

Maybe when you were floating on a raft, had sat next to a brook or river, or been alone blissfully reading a book. Gently place that image in your mind.

• Did you feel full of life?
• Were your senses on alert?
• Did you notice the freedom of no past anchors nor future worries?

Instead of eating, let your mind wrap itself around the joy of just being. Be your won sweet self in fulfillment. Just this. Food can wait.

Have a joyful holiday season.

Big hugs,

Today I am going to talk about wonderful YOU. Your self-esteem and how to get more of it.

Maybe you struggled for years but your weight often won. Maybe you’ve had bariatric surgery and have terrifically maintained your weight. If so, KUDOS!

But if you fear Thanksgiving might derail you, and you might slip up, try this:

• Get off the whine wagon! “But it’s just one day!”
• Don’t make excuses! “But it is just one day!”
• Give yourself permission to BE A SUCCESS.
• Map out your eating plan BEFORE you sit down to the table.
• Make an intention that you are a winner at life and make choices that serve you

Use your CRITICAL THINKING and COURAGE personality strengths. KNOW ahead of time that what you focus on is HAPPY HEALTH. Think now good you will feel when you don’t suffer after you get up from the table.

Celebrate yourself and your winning without whining about scarcity. You have wonderful you and many things about which to be grateful. Stop and savor YOU.

Know that I send my love and am thankful that you are sharing time with me.

Big hugs,

Judy

Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

July 4th…Colors bursting forth on the horizon.

Is it red, white, and blue fireworks…

paint by the number’s…fingerpaint…

a rainbow…a kaleidoscope…

or perhaps a bouquet of flowers?

How will you paint your world today?

I color your world happy.
