If you are like me and most people I know who have weight challenges, the last thing we need are appetizers, as our appetites are already quite fine, thanks! This being the 44th day of the “Give-Back Diet,” I’m getting into specifics.  If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s an obvious thing to forget the…

Here’s a recipe for a whole, great dinner; an old-style Italian speciality that’s so great.  It’s low-fat, no sugar, and healthier.  Serve it on a special occasion, or just because it’s Monday (or Tuesday)!  This is the 43rd day of the Give-Back Diet, and it’s a good day for a good meal.  Try this one.…

Happy Valentine’s Give-Back Diet day 42.  Welcome, and thanks for being here. I’ll keep it short today.  Give yourself some love, by realizing that your feelings are just thoughts.  That’s right: emotions are only thoughts.  They don’t necessarily need any action, as they’re just feelings. Yes, of course feelings are real.  Yes, they can have…

It’s Saint Valentine’s Day (and Nate’s 18th Birthday), and the 41st loving day of the Give-Back Diet!  Congratulations!  Feel the love!  I feel so happy I want to dance!  Will YOU dance with me?

The next few days, the Give-Back Diet is all about LOVE, especially on this 40th day.  Loving in new ways, such as not “treating” yourself to binge foods.  Loving your successes, rather than over-thinking your failures.  Loving others, and giving them some help.  Loving moving and using your body in loving and playful ways.  Above…

We’re on the 39th day of the Give-Back Diet.  Why is it called that?  This is about making simple changes by giving back the problem foods and behaviors.  It is about giving back to others in need. Today, I want to help you think of ways to give-back to others that cost little or no…

I’m so proud of you for joining us here today for the 38th day of the Give-Back Diet weight loss plan.  A central feature of this program is limiting (or eliminating) added sugar and carbohydrates.  We’re also all about eating a balanced food plan, which means for a lot of us, adding more vegetables and…

I am delighted that our First Lady, Michele Obama is not only speaking out, but taking action to help adults and kids eat more vegetables and fruits, less desserts, and to be active on a daily basis.  Yes! As an obese kid myself, I know the dangers and the heartache of being fat.  I’ve been…

You have been losing weight by watching sugar and carbohydrates, eating less meat, moving, praying and journaling on the Give-Back Diet for 37 days.  Getting help with weight loss is also about helping others; making connections with new friends and reconnecting with old ones. Today, I encourage you to reach out and contact an old…

It’s a great day for some prayer and physical activity. Thanks for being here – we’re on the 36th Day of the Give-Back Diet.  Today, I want to encourage you to try a prayer walk.  Yes, it’s cold in many parts of the world, but I like to bundle up and walk anyway.  You can…
