Pain Motivates; Joy Sustains!

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

It’s interesting how sometimes we stay focused on our pain rather than seeking out our happiness. Over and over I see people focused on their (psychological) pain, how the pain impacts their lives, and/or how to fix or just deal with the pain. To be clear here, in no way do I want to imply [...]

A Message To Yo-Yo Dieters – Don’t Give Up!

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I’ve mentioned before that I spent 35 years yo-yo dieting. Some years I worked hard at the popular diet-of-the-day; some years I gave up and just let the weight pile on. There are a lot of diets out there – for people who want to lose weight fast or lose just a few pounds or [...]
