NYTimes.com: Discovery May Help Treat Obesity
Monday, June 15, 2009
HIDING BEHIND THE PHONE & INTERNET?
It's soooooo easy to forget about it!
After all, most of your client work is done over the phone or internet.
If your "phone voice" creates the impression that you're a slim, head-turning, 29-and-holding - so much the better!
And then the day comes when an enthusiastic client asks you to give a talk to their civic organization/ company/ professional association.
Your stomach clutches up into a tight knot and you say,
"Wow! Thanks for the opportunity! Let me check and get back to you on that."
Scenario #1:
You go into your closet and begin tearing through your "wardrobe" of sweatpants, jeans, hoodies, turtlenecks, etc. and realize, not only do you have nothing to wear as a public speaker, you're terrified of being publicly exposed.
You've spent much of your adult life "battling" obesity and finally come to an accommodation with the situation.
Because your body does not represent the "real" you, you work in a profession where ONLY the real you is experienced by others.
- The real you exists from your neck up:
- Your voice, your mind, your personality and (let’s not forget!), “Such a pretty face!”
You call back and apologetically decline the opportunity, making up some excuse or another.
Scenario #2:
You go into your closet and select a couple of great outfits from Bloomingdale's, because they still carry some plus-size vendors. Setting them out on the bed, you review your options.
Unbidden, you remember the newsletter photos from a recent public talk you gave. You feel an involuntary twinge of sadness in your chest.
- "God, I've gotten so big. I'm out of control. Still, I pull it together damn good!"
- The melancholy is starting to seep back into your heart so you take a “deep cleansing breath” and make your selection.
- You remind yourself that your stylish clothes, make-up and sheer force of personality can make the audience forget about your size, even if you can't.
You check your schedule, call back and accept the engagement. But that sadness remains trapped inside you...
I CONFESS:
I've been both of those characters in a 3X Plus-size body!
But in Feb., 2003, I liberated myself from that prison/parole/prison/parole
paradigm I'd lived as: a fat-girl-on-a-diet/ fat-girl-off-a-diet.
In Jan. '05, enjoying living in my size 8, physically strong & healthy body, I became a national speaker for Obesity Help Inc. and began coaching others how to "cut the string" on their yo-yo dieting so they can EMBODY Success!®
Now, I want to coach you on how to overcome self-sabotage with success so you can be the best expression of yourself!

Atl. Journal-Const. Story on Lauralyn Bellamy!
While traveling on business, this hotel breakfast also provides me with lunch and a mid-afternoon snack!
ANYONE can coach you through your next diet; your next exercise program.
Heck, let's be honest YOU don't even need a coach for diet & exercise!
But you haven't a CLUE how to keep from gaining it back...and more!
If that's OK with you, if you're enjoying the drama: the highs when you're losing the weight & getting those supportive compliments from neighbors & co-workers; and the pathos of watching their faces register pity and disgust as you resume your normal eating habits and balloon back up again...
If that's the way you want to "run the clock out" on YOUR life, go for it!
But ask yourself this:
"If my life were no longer concerned with dieting, exercise, finding clothes that fit, managing my depression, aches and pains, my type 2 diabetes ... because I'm now accustomed to living in a fit, strong, normal-sized body, eating healthfully, and enjoying a physically active life;
"If I had all this free time to live my life now - what would my life be about?"
"What would be my life's work? What would I be doing with my weekends & evenings? What would my social life look like? What would I look like? Where would I be living and how would my home look?"
If you can't even begin to wrestle with these questions, BUT YOU WANT TO, you may be ready for Embody Success! The Foundation Program - a 12-week coaching program that will equip you to dismantle your self-sabotage machinery, freeing you to live the life of your dreams!
Let's schedule your complimentary consult today! C'mon, what have you got to lose? ; -)
How can I make this claim? Read the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Feb. 4, 2009 feature story about me and see for yourself! Just click on this blog's title!

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,
Lauralyn@embodysuccess.net
