Unsure if you need to lose weight? Don’t pay attention to most of those insurance company charts – they’re designed to make the premiums higher. Don’t compare yourself to fashion magazines or TV shows – they’re the smallest percentage of people – movie stars and models who are constantly starving and exercising obsessively. Pay attention…

Gosh, we’ve had a lot of comments and traffic from that blog I wrote the other day on healthcare, Obama healthcare reform, and on America’s health care system.  I’m so glad people are voicing their opinion here!  I’m sad that there are a few who want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and…

As we mark September 11th,  or 9/11 again this year.  I have a few thoughts. I remember the lost souls, the innocent workers, and the fearless first-responders and say a prayer for them all.  I remember the moment, the uncertainty, the fear and terror of living in New York City, and my urge to be…

I was impressed.  He got specific.  He was tough, yet stayed in the middle, offering to work together with both sides.

Whenever you’re about to binge, look around, there’s usually someone bigger than you nearby to remind you of your priorities. I hate to say it, but given the epidemic obesity crisis in America, and in many parts of the world, there are always people with weight problems most everywhere you go. In America, almost half…

Have you, too, been the victim of weight loss quackery? Have you tried “miracle diets” and “magic bullet” quick-fix products or schemes? Did you buy any of those “revolutionary” exercise machines or appliances from TV infomercials? Did you buy any of those magic, quick diet books that promise you’ll solve the weight problems (and every…

I find the best way to move on and recover from low self-esteem, is to get moving. Wrap yourself around a project.  Get work done.  Distract yourself. If you feel that you’re worthless, try doing something that can show yourself as valuable and competent.  Even little things are good proof: getting a bill paid on…

It’s really important to stay with a daily routine of structured eating.  Knowing how much to eat of each food group, for you, in order to either lose weight or maintain your weight is vital.
