Oprah, Try A Diet Of Love

Forget about weight loss diets that deprive you. Try a "Diet of Love" instead! Oprah, love is all around you, so take it in. Notice the beauty of nature, and take in its loving energy. Listen to the messages of positive people, and take in their loving thoughts. Taste the richness of your favorite foods, and take in their loving nutrients. Heighten all of your senses to the love that is everywhere. As you consciously take in love, notice how you feel. Does your "Diet of Love" nourish you more than food alone ever could? Do you finish your meals feeling more satisfied? Do you have more energy, and more love to give others? Oprah, as you share your love, make sure that you give love back to your Self! This way, you'll always have more than enough.
Try this "Diet of Love" for yourself: Consciously take in the love all around you, then give love to others, and of course back to your Self. What do you notice?

Oprah, Lose The Scale To Lose The Weight

No matter what you weigh, it won't be a good day.  If the number on the bathroom scale goes down, it's never enough.  If the number goes up, then you feel like a failure.  Like the watched pot that never boils, a watched scale never changes -- at least not the way you want it to.  Why weigh your self-esteem?  Oprah, I challenge you to throw away your bathroom scale!  Or, at least hide it somewhere that you can't easily access it.  You will know when your body is losing weight, without having to check the number.  Focus on how your body looks and feels, rather than what it weighs.  Keep practicing INTUITIVE SELF-CARE as you eat, exercise and live your life.  See your weight loss success, beyond the number on the bathroom scale!  

To lose weight, ask yourself:  What would happen if I threw away my bathroom scale?

Oprah, Relax More To Weigh Less

Oprah, you might think that you have to exercise more to lose weight.  Actually, you need to relax more!  Yes, intuitive exercise is important.  But so is rest and relaxation.   Schedule this time for yourself!  Remember, you have to be number one on your priority list!  If you don't take care of you, then no one else will.  Oprah, practice INTUITIVE SELF-CARE and try massage, meditation, journalling, yoga or a warm bath to rest and relax.  When you are nourished in this way, you'll binge less, and weigh less! 

To weigh less, ask yourself:  What can I do today to relax?               

Oprah, Feel More To Weigh Less

Oprah, what are you feeling right now?  Do you know, or are you like 25 million binge eaters who numb themselves with food?  I know what that's like.  I remember when I first reached out for help to overcome my eating disorder, and I attended a support group.  The people who attended were talking about the reasons why they binged, for example, because they were angry, bored, stressed or depressed.  I couldn't relate at all, because I had no idea what I was feeling!  That's because food was my drug, and I was binge eating to stuff down my emotions.  To end binge eating, I had to start feeling.  The only way out is through.  Oprah, practice INTUITIVE SELF-CARE today and identify your feelings throughout the day.  When you know what you feel, then you can decide what you need, instead of numbing yourself with food.  By expressing your emotions, you can begin to feed your true hunger.  Feel more, binge less, and weigh less!

To end binge eating, ask yourself:  What do I feel right now?  What do I need, what is my true hunger?
