Dear Kirk,  

 

TopMarch is traditionally a transition month. As children we learn that March is fickle - the whole "in like a lion out like a lamb,' scenario. March is also the gateway to spring where we say goodbye to winter and hello to flowers blooming and new leaves on the trees.

 

Will March be a transition month for you? I hope so. Let us work together to make March the time we choose to see the good in ourselves and in others. A time to rise above our adversity and be happy no matter what. In this way the turmoil happening around us will lose its intensity and help us feel more peace. 

 
All the very best,

 

Kirk

GreenGrassIt's not what you eat but what's eating you!

 

As a fan of the biggest Loser I can't help but be interested in the weight loss craze. Just over two years ago one of my clients had Lap-Band surgery to reduce the size of her stomach enabling her to lose weight. She quickly learned that even with a smaller stomach there is more to losing weight than portion control. It isn't so much of what you eat but what's eating you that makes the biggest difference.

 


As a preparation for Lap-Band surgery my client had to see a Behavioral Psychologist. Over the course of several visits she discovered a fear of being hungry. As she has learned to deal with the fear of being hungry she was able to lose more weight.

 


Are you hungry for food or something else?  Perhaps you need to be 'filled' emotionally before you can have the weight loss you desire.  There is no amount of food cant can satisfy you emotionally. While food may be your vice, others turn to drugs, alcohol, exercise or something else to fill this emotional void. While some of these 'filling' activities are healthy, most of them are not. As you consider losing weight, spend some time thinking about what needs filling: your belly or your emotions? Many times, comfort food is exactly that - giving you comfort through eating when what you really need is a great big hug! Next time, get a hug instead of desert.
