Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

How do you lose weight with God?  Simple, just ask Him for help.  A lot of readers have asked me to write more about this.  Funny, that’s what I’ve written about the most in the last 9 years!  I fear I’m always talking about God, even too much, I love Him so completely. Here’s a…

Lucy asks: How often should I weigh myself on your program? My advice is that you weigh yourself once a month, on the same morning every month, before you’ve eaten anything, and preferably without clothes and after voiding. Keep a written monthly log. And that’s it. Please do not weigh yourself more than once a…

Are you making sure to be active every day? I don’t mean vigorous exercise (although that’s great if you’re in a regular habit you’ve built up to)…I mean at least walking for a minimum of 10 minutes per day. Start your day with a 10 minute walk. Go around the block. See some trees, flowers,…

Comparing yourself to others can backfire.  Be sure to appreciate the good things about yourself, and acknowledge your hardships and efforts, too.  This is an important point.  I’m glad that an anonymous poster commented about this, this week, in response to my blog about face transplant recipient, Connie Culp. “My Mother also used to use…

Are your weight problems affecting your relationship with God? If you look to food for comfort and satisfaction, instead of God, you may be missing an opportunity. If you are isolated, lonely inside your house, avoiding an active and engaged life, you may be avoiding the plans God has for you. If your health isn’t…

This comment by Nancy H. is a real winner this week – so inspiring, and practical. She wrote, “I love to workout. But between a full time job and a part time business. I have to make it a priority. I go thru some yoga moves each morning before work – only 10 – 15…

I am thinking about my mother a lot recently.  She meant so much to me in so many ways. Yes, Mother’s Day and all — the Hallmark Card-invented day to sell instant greeting cards.  More than that, much more, I think about my mom often and want to honor her as much as I can.…

If you haven’t seen or heard about Connie Culp, the lady who is the recipient of one of the first face transplants, you may want to.  She has been through so many traumas, pain, and humiliation – yet sought help and received a miraculous opportunity-of-a-lifetime.   Hers is an inspiring story, especially if you’re feeling bad…

If you have not heard, Hydroxycut, a popular weight loss drug, has been recalled by the FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  Stop taking them if you have been. Here’s part of what the FDA press release said last week, and the link to its source here: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is…
