13 Weeks from Tomorrow is Christmas!

And the Good News Is – What?©

By Lauralyn Bellamy, MA, MDiv, cert. Dream Coach® & DC Group Leader

Let’s talk truth here. The situation is tighter than that. We know that all the holiday eating actually begins around Thanksgiving, right? Just think about all those office parties, client lunches and dinners, family gatherings, social events and all those snapshots to record those memorable moments…9 weeks away!

Are you confident of your ability to get through all those “moveable feasts” without gaining weight?

Or are you already resigned to eating mindlessly, eating too much, eating to calm your nerves, to console yourself, eating foods you know will put you on an emotional roller coaster?

Are you already planning your January diet boot camp?

Is yo-yo dieting your life?

What if you could learn how to shutdown and dismantle your self-sabotage machinery in 12 weeks of individual coaching with me? I’m talking about one-on-one private telephone sessions (:45), plus personal email follow up in between sessions, plus your own workbook, customized and enjoyable assignments, and behavioral modification visualizations that make the entire journey a dream-come-true!

Best of all, once you’ve learned the Embody Success!© Coaching Method you can use it to overcome ANY pattern of SELF-SABOTAGE active in your life: overall life satisfaction, job/ career, relationships, spiritual development…

And what if the weekly cost of this 12-week Foundation Program in the Embody Success!© Coaching Method was about what you’d expect to pay for a one-hour massage? Would it be worth your while to schedule a free consultation with me to find out? Are you worth it?

I’ve been guiding obese and morbidly obese clients through this program for over 3 years after perfecting it on myself, and it works!! I have addressed hundreds at conferences on chronic obesity across the nation. My clients are across the US.

The bad news is I only have openings for 12 Foundation Program participants right now. First come first served. E-mail me pronto to schedule your consult!

Give yourself the tools you need to live the life of your dreams!
Lovingly sent,

So What Do I Look Like 5+ yrs. Out?

I shoulda put an "AFTER" photo up with the "BEFORE" photo (previous blog entry). This was taken of me last weekend at Pat O'Bryan's "Unseminar Elite 2."
I'm the one sandwiched between "The Portable Empire"'s PAT O'BRYAN and
"The Secret," "The Attractor Factor" and "Zero Limits" author JOE VITALE.
They first mentored me at "Unseminar 3" in Feb. 07 and it was great to be reunited.

BELLY FAT & BRAIN SHRIVELLED!

I don't know about you, but when I've gone off my diet and gained back all that I'd lost - and then some! there comes a moment when I'm confronted with a sight, a comment, or a news item that is so alarming that it triggers my desperation to get back into the game and DIET AGAIN!!! Yesterday, most news outlets carried a story about BELLY FAT that will serve to illustrate. The report: Health Insurer KAISER PERMANENTE's Research division published a study in the journal, "Neurology," (March 25th) based on the study of 6,583 people in their 40's. Phase 1 was conducted between 1964-1973; and followed up an average of 36 years later to tabulate the number of dementia diagnoses. Sidebar: In the past, some of you may have used the newly discovered links between belly fat and heart disease, belly fat and cancer, and belly fat and diabetes to kick-start new diets. So you can rest assured this new piece of medical evidence should work equally well to get you back out there dieting! The findings: high levels of belly fat in one's 40's increases an obese person's chances of contracting senility or dementia in their 70's over a normal-weight person with low belly fat 3.6 times!!! To put that in context, those who are obese in a pattern that is more pear-shaped are still 2.0 times as likely as a normal-weight person to become senile or demented. It gets worse [or better, depending on your point of view]: You can enroll new recruits to yo-yo dieting with this additional piece of information:

Even if you're a normal-weight 40-something, if you have "a sizable stomach" you, too,
have a higher risk of senility 30 years later!

We have Rachel Whitmer, Kaiser scientist and the lead study author, to thank for offering us the words that will be our rallying cry (see the BELLY FAT collection of stuff on our store this weekend!):

""This is not a stubborn fat;
it is a toxic fat!"

A word of encouragement from Dr. Whitmer, herself, as you prepare to mount your newest, most rigorous diet: abdominal fat is easier to lose than fat stored elsewhere!

So haul out those food scales, the booklets that count calories, carbs, fats, protein, food diaries, tape measure and bathroom scale and begin the work of mental preparation for dieting.

I'll check in with you later to see how you're doing.
