Can you believe it?  The  “E.T.” movie premiered – June 11, 1982, some 28 years ago!  Where were you, what were you doing, and how did it affect you? I remember loving the “E.T.” movie.  It was the first time that aliens were seen as “nice.”  E.T. was also a lovable character, although an alien…

I will answer your comments and thoughts about my article, Trained to Overeat, early next week, if that’s OK with you.  I want to let a few more days go by to gather some comments. So please click on the link above, and them add YOUR comments!  I’d love to hear from you about your…

Today, I want to pose a few simple questions to you about overeating. Are you trained to overeat?  Ask yourself this, and think about your answer.  Then think about some other questions connected with it: Every time you eat, do you have a full meal?  Such as a full bowl, or a plate that is…

Did you slip with your food plan?  Did you “fall-off-the-wagon,” so to speak?  No problem, all is not lost, surely God forgives you – just don’t let it snowball. In my efforts to be sugar-free, and lower fat, I often slip.  The other day, someone offered me a candy bar.  It was my favorite, the…

Do you wake up in the morning with your mind filled with thoughts of personal shame, inferiority, hopelessness, dread, anxiety or worry?  You are not alone – many people do. I thought I would send some inspirational quotes, and uplifting quotes for hard times your way, today.  Think of these, say them out loud, or…

Here’s an amazing and tasty cold salad recipe, so perfect for hot summer days.  It is so light in calories, but heavy with flavor.  I first encountered it in Greece, while filming my upcoming movie, (info at www.mysteriesoftheJesusPrayer.com).  The Greeks love this traditional salad that has both sweetness from watermelon, sour from balsamic vinegar, and…

Why do you think they call it “junk food?” Because it’s garbage! I think it should only be called junk. Leave off the “food.” (Because it isn’t.)  Sodas are made of sugar water and chemical flavorings. I like to call them “liquid candy.” Many chips are actually ground-up processing remnants (skins, trim, rejected bits) fried…

Overeating is a complicated, sensitive subject.  When it gets into the realm of eating disorders such as compulsive overeating, it’s especially difficult and urgent. I wrote the other day about a guest of ours who has some challenges in these areas, as I once did, and do. (original post here)  As I read every comment…

“Would you like the giant size for only 25 cents more?”  She said when I ordered a plain seltzer, which they didn’t carry.  I told her “no, that would be way too much.” When I ordered a sandwich, half-size, six inches, she said, “how about the special foot-long for only $5.00 ?”  I was again…

We’ve had a guest in our house over the Memorial Day weekend who is obese, who has also left signs behind in the kitchen.  It’s amazing to me to see how much someone needs to eat to maintain a massive body.  It shocks me to see so much food consumed – because I used to…
