Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

Every morning I begin my day with some coffee and the news.  I’ve done this for decades.  It is my morning wake-up routine, and I am used to it. What’s really news is that I am starting to see that my morning rituals are making me feel bad. Every day I find myself getting more…

This past week has been a very active one on this website, and I for one am impressed and inspired.  There have been quite a few comments posted, especially in response to my articles on Scales, Fasting, and the major study on diets.  So many, and of such thoughtfulness, it’s hard for me to pick…

For many Christians, this is a time of great awareness, a time in the year called Lent, a preparation for Easter.  It’s the annual time to be aware of our beliefs and faith, to love the many gifts that God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit give us, and to give something in return.  The…

Thinking about the recent study on most diets being basically equally effective; read what I wrote about it here, these are my simple thoughts: When it comes to food, eating less is more. If you’re trying to reduce your weight consistently eat less than you did before. Just cut it in half. Eat slower, too.…

This morning I was all flustered because I had to pay bills.  Gosh, those expenses are high!  It’s an exercise in stretching, moving money from one place to another, shuffling, leaping and moving forward.  Kind of like dancing: you stretch, and move, leap, shuffle and move forward. So I paid some, stretched a bit, and…

I’ve been saying this for years, no matter how you do it, lowering carbohydrates and increasing protein, lowering fats and preferably non-saturated ones, eating less of anything is now clinically proven for weight loss.  There is a recent and major study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, of 811 patients, that is worth…

I just got an email from a longtime friend in Indiana, Michael White, who is a very talented singer and composer.  He and another friend made a really moving video at Christmas about having “A Wonderful Life.” Please take a look… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eUZBQ0L_EY There are so many parallels to the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” in…

This morning I jumped on our bathroom scales, as I do every month.  I like to check to see what I weigh, to keep my 160-pound weight maintenance on track. I only weigh myself once a month, because I know that I can fluctuate up or down as much as 5 pounds depending on the…

This comment from Dino just reached out and grabbed my attention: For me, the big change in my thinking came one day. I realized I was a creation of God; made in God’s image. What I had been doing was trashing my body–disrespecting my own body! Because I am loved by the creator and because…

We’ve now gone through a long period of economic woes, and we are making it through.  Yes times are hard, harder than we’ve ever known or experienced.  It’s true it is not over, but there is hope and we’re going to be all right.  Trust me.  Trust God. We all know the housing market and…
