Thank you so much for the post on your blog...Debi,<br /><br />Thank you so much for the post on your blog about the book Women Food and God. I'm 56 years old and have been struggling with my weight. Back in 2004, I was able to lose weight very quickly in preparation for a trip to Europe-I got down to 115 pounds. Since then, I've gained 60 pounds and now it's affecting my health. I'm having a really hard time trying to lose even a few pounds. When I read the excerpt from the book I couldn't believe what I was reading. I thought I was the only person who wakes up in the middle of the night obsessing about everything- events of the day, thinking that I may have cancer from some obscure symptom I'm feeling, worrying about who's going to die first, being alone, etc. I have such a hard time shutting down my thoughts! I also had to laugh because there is a reference to the country Latvia in the excerpt and it just so happens that both my parents were Latvian. So, after reading your blog post I went out and bought the book and will start reading it tonight. Thanks again for writing about your feelings- I don't feel quite so alone in my struggles!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />DianaOrmoluluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853114162589905626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166323463066683947.post-62388793844768082942010-08-16T18:47:36.331-07:002010-08-16T18:47:36.331-07:00Losing weight is not easy and keeping it off is ev...Losing weight is not easy and keeping it off is even harder. I have such a sweet tooth. I had breast cancer five years ago and had a bi-lateral masectomy....so here's a motivator....when you don't have boobs, its like a man, you have a "beer belly"....so lovely! That and the cancer motivated me to lose 20 pounds but it has been a struggle to keep it off. Having a dog helps, he needs to be walked every day. Good luck, it really is about life style change not diet and as your friend, above, said concentrate on the positive. The book looks interesting, I'll check it out.

I've been a size 8 and a siz...Oh my dear Debi,<br /><br />I've been a size 8 and a size 20. Grief, comfort, structure, contentment....have led me to all the sizes and number in between. <br /><br />Health is important! I look at women in their 60's and 70's that have had back, knee, hip surgery and replacement and I think, "Shell, You'd best work on it!" <br /><br />BUT,,,,,Debi, I'm going to tell you something else. Something that I almost commented on when I met you for the first time,,,You have the most beautiful, penetrating Eyes! Ahh, yes, "The reflection of the soul." And you have the Best Laugh....and I love your voice, and your intellect and your insights and ability to articulate! <br /><br />My mother, a beautiful woman, always, even in her last days because of her SOUL and her heart,,,,,,,,used to say, "I look back and I see pictures of myself at 30, at 40, at 50 and 60 and say to myself, 'I looked pretty damn good! WHY did I judge myself so harshly?'Why was I so critical?'<br /><br />I try and emulate her thoughts and insight,,for she WAS a wise woman!<br />Accentuate your positives,,,,and yes, WORK on the negatives...but girlfriend,,,,,,CUT YOURSELF some Slack! "You've got it ALL goin' ON!"<br /><br />Yes! Work on being HEALTHY,,,,,But accept and enjoy WHO you are NOW! And you my dear have a LOT going for YOU and relish your accomplishments!<br /><br />So let us this week, laugh, have a good meal and walk a bit, shall we? Carpe Diem!<br /><br />Can't wait to see you again on Thursday! Honored to call you my new and DEAR friend!<br /><br />Hugs and love,<br />Shell<br /><br />(Got your emails/printed and will peruse and call you tomorrow!)Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235816224639707484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166323463066683947.post-73445473610039955812010-08-16T14:14:11.293-07:002010-08-16T14:14:11.293-07:00Been trying to avoid this book ~ not sure Im ready...Been trying to avoid this book ~ not sure Im ready for a revelation ~ you convinced me :)~ thank you friend! xoMBuNgAlOw BaYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847900807268428147noreply@blogger.com
