Oprah's Weight Loss Plan: Intuitive Self-Care!

Oprah, it's 2009, time to set your goals for the New Year.  But first, take a moment and reflect on 2008.  What are your thoughts and feelings?  "I'm mad at myself.  I'm embarrassed.  I can't believe that after all these years, I'm still talking about my weight," you say, in the January 2009 edition of O magazine.  You thought you had a foolproof formula for permanent weight loss, only to learn that you had hyperthyroidism which gradually moved into hypothyroidism.  "The thyroid diagnosis felt like some kind of prison sentence.  I was so frustrated that I started eating whatever I wanted -- and that's never good," you say.  Probably not, Oprah.  Your body will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn, that's a scientific fact.  But you knew that.  "All these years, I'd had only myself to blame.  Now I had an official, documented excuse," you say.  But was the excuse a thyroid problem?  Or depression?  "Me -- depressed?  I hadn't thought I was, but definitely something was off.  I felt like the life force was being sucked out of me... Many days I didn't feel like going to work, but sick days aren't an option... In my case, the show literally must go on," you say.  You finally took some much needed time off at the end of your summer hiatus.  You relaxed, you reflected, you renewed yourself.  What did you learn?  "My weight issue isn't about eating less or working out harder, or even about a malfunctioning thyroid.  It's about my life being out of balance... I don't have a weight problem -- I have a self-care problem that manifests through weight," you say.  Indeed!  When you take care of yourself, your weight will take care of itself!  Oprah, what you need is INTUITIVE SELF-CARE.  This is the process that I developed, which helped me overcome my 15-year battle with food and weight.  For the past 10 years I have been teaching this process to my clients, who report a 95% success rate in achieving their goals.  Now, Oprah, I'd like to teach this process to you.  So what are your goals?  "In 2009, dare I, dare all of us give ourselves all the love and care we need to be healthy, to be well, and to be whole?  I know for sure that for each moment of this brand new year, I'm gonna try," you say.  Oprah, I'm here to guide you on your journey!    
To be successful, ask: What are my goals, and how can Intuitive Self-Care help me achieve them?
