Our Lady of Weight Loss

People tell me, “I don’t have the time to … “… go to the store and pick up fruits and vegetables. “… exercise.”  “… sit and breathe.” “… to be positive.” Really?  Too busy to be positive? Surely, you can clear a scant 30 seconds to do something positive for yourself, can’t you? If thinking…

This morning, while writing my cheery good morning note to Tushkateers across the land (see Kick in the Tush Club; you too can be a Tushkateer!), I included the following quote from Mark Twain, which I absolutely adore.  I hope you will, too. Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window…

Dear OLofWL ~ I can’t even begin to tell you how discouraged I am.  Soooo discouraged.  I got on the scale this morning, and I’ve only lost 2 pounds over the past two weeks.  This is slower than molasses!  I don’t know if I can take it!!! Slap me, kick me – please say something! …

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” ~  Lao Tzu While ‘networking’ at a breakfast gathering, I paid attention to how I introduced myself to others.  Sometimes I was “Janice Taylor, Life and Wellness Coach, Hypnotherapist.”  Sometimes I was, “Janice Taylor, creator of the Kick in the Tush…

This week’s Get Jiggy Weight Loss ART is dedicated to Amy Winehouse, a successful artist who was equally legendary for her trouble with substance abuse and the law.

Here is a Tasty Tidbit from  Our Lady of Weight Loss, the patron said of permanent fat removal! While searching the Internet for interesting food facts, I stumbled upon one that gave pause for thought. “The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it.”  I cringed!  Big time!  And I wondered and am curious…

A belief system is a series of ideas that your mind has organized in order to project an image of what is ‘real.’ It encompasses everything you think about yourself, others and the world-at-large. It is filled with should have’s and ought to’s. These groups of thoughts (ideas) that we believe to be true come…

Last night, Peter and I went to the movies!!!  Yippee!!! I do love a good movie; and I do like a bad movie.  Movies are amazing! I highly recommend BUCK; the story of Buck Brannaman – an unsung hero.  It is a story of redemption and resurrection.  The movie has won more awards than a…

Did you know that Christopher Columbus called papayas the “fruit of the angels?”  True enough!!!  And it’s no wonder, because papayas are at the same time both deliciously sweet and musky. I’ve been told that this spherical or pear-shaped fruit can grow as long as 20 inches (imagine that!), but the ones most commonly found…
