Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

While on a car trip the other day, we stopped at a gas station and my friend went into the adjacent convenience store and bought a small bag of nuts and yogurt-covered raisins.  It looked really good.  I wanted some too. I was about to buy myself a pack, but I decided to look on…

For years I thought it took will power to make major changes in my life, such as getting healthy, finding a job or losing weight.  In the middle of doing it, though, and falling flat on my face a bunch of times, I’ve discovered something else. My mother always said, “Just put your mind to…

Last week, I wrote about a radio station losing a lawsuit over their water drinking contest.  A lot of you were very interested in how much water to drink, and to make sure there’s no danger in too much water.  Great questions and comments, thanks so much. Here is what a few of you said,…

Meet Helene, a woman who has lost 50 pounds and kept it off over 23 years. See if you can relate to her words… “I was out on my own the first time (in my early 20’s) and started to meet men and whatever; I didn’t handle it very well. I didn’t have the tools…

Remember how you felt the last time you ate a lot of sugary foods? You probably got a quick burst of energy, and then it let you down, way down. Maybe you felt “hung over” later with a headache. Maybe it upset your stomach? Or did you get a toothache? Or are you so used…

I can’t believe how great this hot (or cold) drink is!  Sweet, tasty, no calories, no caffeine, and helps me curb hunger and lose weight. Ever been at a bar and heard someone say to the bartender, “make it a double?”  That’s what this drink is about.  Double flavor, doubly sweet. NO alcohol, fat, or…

I’m always encouraging everyone to drink a lot of water.  Water is important and when you’re losing weight, it’s essential.  Is it possible to drink too much water?  Yes. We heard the news that a jury awarded $16.5 million dollars in damages to the family of a woman who entered a Sacramento, California radio station…

We know why we’re fat: too much food in general, especially fats and sugar-laden food.  Now, “This is Why You’re Fat” is a book and website of a collection of recipes and photos of really crazy fatty, sugary food.  This may give you pause, or at least prompt you to think about what you put…

What if doing something you dread could really be fun and pleasurable?  What would happen if you did not have a lot of fear, anxiety and trepidation? If you simply don’t believe the old mental programming that losing weight, becoming healthier, and making some positive changes in your life is a drag – then it…
