Yea!  Congratulations, you have come to Day 7, the end of the first week on the “Give-Back Diet: Lose Weight and Help Others” program.  Let’s use this day to rest, contemplate what we have learned, and get motivated to keep it going. If you’re just starting the program, no problem, welcome!  Begin here, today.    Take…

Today is Day 6, and as we come toward the finale of “The Give-Back Diet’s” first week, we’re going to take another step together.  Today is about getting off sugar.  There is an epidemic of Type II diabetes in the world, a disease that affects the metabolism of sugar in the body and insulin production;…

Congratulations!  Another day is here, the 5th day!   Today, let’s keep up what we’ve been doing so far: logging and journaling food, feelings, activities, and now (since yesterday) caloric and financial savings.  You’re on the right track to lose weight by building new habits.  You are “giving back” the fat and sugar, the unhealthy junk…

Congratulations!  I’m so proud of you for making it to the fourth day of “The Give-Back Diet.”  I’m sure you’re making and enjoying some positive changes in your life.  Today, we’re going to make another simple change for the better, and we’ll see the results together.  If you are just starting, or you’ve had some…

Congratulations!  You have begun a new way of thinking and taken action on your desires to change.  I hope you have gotten a physical check-up from your doctor or health provider, or at least made an appointment.  I would love to know what problems you’ve given up to God, and what you ate, did, and…

Welcome!  This is a totally different program that can help you lose weight and become healthier in a whole new way.  How is it new? Simple: most weight loss diets are about what you take in, this one is about giving back the excess weight and problems, and helping others in return.  Best of all,…

The solution to all of your problems is God. The source of all of your experiences is God. Think of God all of the time. See God in everything and everyone. Hear the Creator in every sound. Taste God’s bounty in all of your food and drink. Honor God in all of your activities. Sense…

When planning your day, make sure to keep it simple. Don’t try to do too many things, eat too much, or forget to include some joyful activity. Remember your “Joy of Weight Loss” food plan. Pick foods that you will enjoy and remember to treat yourself to a whole day of moderate, balanced eating from…

I was at a New Year’s party, and a friend asked me “what’s new about your new year? Any new year’s resolutions?”  I thought to myself, came up with nothing, and just spontaneously uttered, “I’m turning over a new leaf.”  My wife, charmingly confrontational, chimed, “exactly what leaf would it be you’re turning over?” That…
