What's up, Jo?
This has been an interesting week....not for losing weight especially, but for being accepted in a University Hospital study regarding stress as it relates to Psoriasis. Never have figured out how to control either of those things so, this study and the methods we will learn may be quite helpful. Hope so. I will be working with the Reiki technique.
As for the original purpose of this News-Herald weight event, I am in the land of maintaining, but am not making great strides towards further loss. Maybe I fool myself with the promise of future experiences...always feeling the next one...whether it's an event, book, seminar, tv interview, article, etc....will somehow form a "turning point" to the ultimate resolution of these life-long weight struggles. The next thing will somehow dig deep...past intellectual layers...to that buried emotional layer that is denying this weight loss success.
Today my hope lies in a movie coming to the Cedar Lee Theatre later this month...."Forks Over Knives." I wanted to see it when it appeared there earlier this year, but missed getting the information in time and it sold out. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and his son, Rip Esselstyn were present at that showing and Dr. Esselstyn plays a huge part in the movie. I feel this movie and their methodology for losing weight holds a strong key for me. But again, it's more like an intellectual exercise because I have not been able to follow the diet religiously.
If you read about Dr. Esselstyn's success with his (over) twenty year study that turned heart disease around by diet alone (plant-based eating), well, I don't think anyone could help but be impressed by his research and the success of his patients over time. I've also seen both him and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, on DVD's from the annual VegSource health conference. Their own health radiates and serves as a shining example of the positive outcomes that can result from living on a plant-based diet.

So...why can't I do this? Why can't I turn life around and live by something that appears to ring so passionately true? I don't have a clue.

The only way you will be able to shed the pounds on your body is to shed the years of issues in your head and that is the bottom line. There are way too many years of issues buried under layers of weight and until you are ready to sit down with a professional and discuss and peel away those onion layers your life will stay the same.
