Well, another week comes to a close, and another opportunity opens to each of us to claim our most valuable asset, our time. Don’t allow distraction and endless responsibility to eat away your life. Quite simply, your first responsibility is to be healthy and strong so that you can tackle the endless “to do list” and the never-ending inbox of carpools, job, house, kids, husband, wife, etc. And we don’t do our kids any favor, by the way, to have them see us sacrifice the basics of good health in the name of parenting.
So carve out and claim your time this weekend to cook and savor at least one meal a day – if not all three meals. Why not? It’s also a great family-fun activity.
Fresh vegetables, summer fruits, whole grains – the options are endless. Why not a mango? Or a crisp, green apple, a dish of par boiled baby carrots, or a Portobello mushroom grilled and served on mescaline greens. Redefine yummy.
Throughout all of time, food has been part of our special celebrations. Today, let’s make it our own, private, day-to-day celebration of our health and our desire to live a long life.
We are alive and we can be fit and nourished –
every meal, every day.
When this becomes the core of our lives, excess weight naturally begins to fall away. Our body no longer needs to hoard energy (fat).
And remember the Three M’s to a Marvelous You: Movement, Meals and Meditation. These are everyday building blocks to the good life.
If you need a few ideas on celebrating yourself in healthy ways or you wish to learn more about Body Image Mastery, call me at (415) 464-1234 or email me at Laura@LauraFenamore.com. This is your one precious and only body and I know you can change whatever you want to change.
I know this because I live it. I lost 100 pounds over twenty years ago. I lost it forever.
I am still interviewing to fill the last few spots in my upcoming 12-week pilot program: Loving What You See in the Mirror (Crucial Components to Permanent Weight Loss).
Call me immediately (415-464-1234) to be considered for one of the remaining spots.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Let Food be Your Medicine
Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, said, “Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”
Many of my Body Image Mastery clients have grown to think of food as fuel, and while that is a huge improvement over how we sometimes treat what we eat – as a friend, a lover, a comforter, or a reward -- the truth is that Hippocrates was still much closer to the mark.
Food is not just energy – this is evidenced on every nutritional label on every package we buy every day. “Potential” fuel is noted on all of those labels (called calories). But the rest of the nutritional content contains important information about the “medicine” our bodies require to stay healthy. In some instances, this even goes beyond everyday vitamins and nutrients, and encompasses what we call nutraceuticals -- medicinal foods to be exact. Red grape products for heart disease and soluble fiber (like oatmeal) to lower cholesterol, broccoli as a cancer preventative, and even more sophisticated “foods” like flax seeds to promote alpha-linolenic acid. (Flax seed could actually have its own article here; it is purported to reduce the risks of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and even assist with healthy weight management.) And we all know the long-touted benefits of garlic.
The point is that there’s more involved here than just fuel. So how do we make sure that we are getting enough of the good stuff? A simple, life-saving tip is to make sure you are eating food that is alive – after all, you are what you eat! Fresh, organic fruits and vegetables – at least five times a day, along with complex carbohydrates (like brown rice or Yankee Bean Soup) are a great start. And remember that moving is an important part of a strong body. No one can stay fit sitting at a desk all day and “relaxing” by the tube all night. Get out and play! Use those calories to hike, bike and dance the night away!
Sit down today and write your own healthy plan for great food and fun exercises in June. Start your summer off right, and you can write your own customized prescription for longevity and be healthy and strong for decades to come.
You deserve it!
Finally, if you’re ready to change what you eat and how you live, my 12-week pilot program, Loving What You See in the Mirror (Crucial Components to Permanent Weight Loss) begins Tuesday, June 24, 2008. This is the only time that I will personally coach the participants through the course (all the more reason to check it out now). The course includes a workbook to support permanent transformational change, along with an added surprise to promote structure and balance among the other participants for all twelve weeks. Participants are interviewed and selected for this course, so call me at 415-464-1234 if you are ready to move forward – with nothing standing in your way!
Remember, health is wealth.

Memorial Day
Well, it’s Memorial Day Weekend, and in memory of those we have lost to obesity and all of its manifestations, I want to ask everyone who reads this to take a moment of silence to think about the long and healthy life that lays ahead of you – if you choose to have it.
Envision it, if you can. You stand at a fork in the road every single day of your life. On one side is the path you must walk to be healthy. There are living foods to pick and eat, there are issues to be dug up and disposed of properly, there are hills to climb and rivers to swim in order to be strong and lean. It is not easy. On the other side is a trolly. You don’t have to walk, and there aren’t any living foods -- because the trolly goes to the drive through every day. There aren’t any issues to dig up, dead dreams and old resentments simply litter the countryside everywhere you look.
This is certainly too simple a picture to paint, but don’t kid yourself, it is accurate. Your choice at that fork can literally eat you alive. You are honestly worth the hard work and the joy that comes from choosing that path to a long and healthy life.
Start this moment. Don’t celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with an endless stream of self hate (disguised in boxes and bags of fat, salt and refined sugar). Instead, celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with the beginning of your new lifestyle and your new life journey. And believe me, once you start down that road, you are like the leader of the band – a parade of your family and friends will follow you. They will applaud your changing body, and they will embrace and share in many of the new foods and new activities that start to fill up your time – and your heart.
If you need help to get started on that path and leaving a poor body image in the dust while your at it, call me at 415-464-1234 – I will be happy to point you in the right direction and to avoid a few of the roadblocks along the way.

How To Tell Someone You Love That They Need To Change
Have you ever uttered these words: “Why didn’t someone tell me?!!” and wondered why a friend or loved one didn’t quietly take you aside and offer advice when you were about to make a terrible mistake? Have you looked back at a time in your life when you were running head-on into a train wreck – and realizing that no one tried to stop you, thought to yourself, “If someone had just said something to me, maybe I could have avoided that?” It is important to reflect on these moments, especially if the situation is now reversed – and you now have a loved one headed for a disaster with their own health.
Do you know and love someone who has crossed the line and is no longer just “slightly overweight” or “too thin,” but is now truly unhealthy from constant abuse of their own body and poor choices? Do you sit quietly by their side as they continue to make poor choices that can lead them to continued unhappiness with their weight, major illness, or even worse – death? Do they feel hopeless about obesity, yo-yo dieting, an eating disorder, or simply poor body image?
Are you concerned about his or her well-being?
Ask yourself:
1. Has this loved one ever asked for help with their weight issues, verbally or non-verbally?
2. Have they expressed dissatisfaction with their body, eating and exercise habits, or health?
3. Has this loved one ever passively given me clues that they are crying out for help?
When someone you love is hurting, sometimes they can’t ask for help out loud – they may be too ashamed or too afraid. At times, they might even deny that they need (or are asking for) help, and they may even seem to resent you for bringing up the matter.
I am here to tell you that there is a way to reach people without hurting them!
First, you must not allow yourself to become a victim of wanting to help them and not knowing how. If you truly care for this person, you must be willing to take a risk for them. What’s the risk? If your loved one is in deep denial and burying the reasons for their unwise habits, they may walk away from you, rather than face the truth. When we hurt inside, we attack our bodies because that is what’s available. Poor eating habits, self-abuse in the form of food and lack of self-care are all physical manifestations of pain. If your loved one is hurting this much, and if you want to help them – you can!
There is healing and non-aggressive help in the loving art of story-telling. Arm yourself with success stories that have similar results to those you wish for your loved one. Choose a time to talk with the person, and begin with those stories. (As an example, use my story -- found on “About Laura” at my website: www.LauraFenamore.com.) Tell them my story. I lost 100 lbs. and kept it off forever – only to discover that I hated myself as much when I was thin as I did when I was overweight. I finally came to realize that it is not about what we look like on the outside – but how much we love ourselves inside that makes the difference! Only then was I able to begin the slow and steady path of self-care every day. I began to love Laura – and was able to stop abusing my body as I made positive changes in the choices I made every day.
It is likely that your loved one will identify their own situation as you talk with them, although they may be angry or hurt. But are you more concerned with their well-being than initially offending them? Are you willing to risk losing your loved one for a moment in order to help save their lives forever? If you are, then take the steps to begin opening up to them, and at the end of that conversation, dial the phone for them, and let them ask me how to get started and what I did to lose 100 pounds and save my own life. The phone call is free and they can be too.

Weekend Warriors
By now your upcoming weekend calendar is probably bursting at its seams: activities to chauffer kids to, family obligations, shopping, endless hours of housework to catch up on, work to finish up and probably at least one party to get through without over-indulging.
You are definitely not alone in the effort to figure out how to be a party animal but not drink like a fish – or eat like a horse!
Here are some tips to get through a busy weekend and survive any social soiree:
1. Redefine Fast Food. Before you get in the car in the morning, pack an insulated lunch bag with a few hard boiled eggs, two apples, a couple of low fat cheese sticks and a bottle of water. These fast and easy solutions will save your pocketbook, and more importantly, it will save your heart and waistline from the fast food lane.
2. Make sure to eat before the party. This may seem counter-intuitive, especially since you’re going to have an endless array of yummy choices once you get there. But it’s definitely better to choose which party food to enjoy and in what amounts when you’re not on an empty stomach. You’ll be much less tempted to overeat – and who knows, you might have a better time using your mouth to chat it up with the other guests instead of grazing through the appetizers.
3. Arrive a few minutes late and plan to leave a few minutes early. Sometimes this is a life saver if you’re in the beginning of a healthy lifestyle change. Leaving right after “Happy Birthday” but before the cake gets passed around will literally save you hundreds of empty calories.
And remember to take that few extra minutes to look really great all weekend long. You have an opportunity to make every day a celebration – and celebrate the one and only YOU. You are the star of your life, so remember to set a great stage and leave some room for a few daydreams.
If you need a few ideas on celebrating yourself in healthy ways or you wish to learn more about Body Image Mastery, you may call me directly at (415) 464-1234 or email me at Laura@LauraFenamore.com. This is your one precious and only body and I know you can change whatever you want to change.

Movement: The Key to Your Treasure Chest
No matter where you are with your health, consider today your fresh start – even if you are already active and eat well, we can always stand to “kick it up a notch.” Today, you can begin a journey that has no destination – it is a journey of discovery.
Like a child’s board game, you will turn over many cards on this journey. Some will say, “Take Aerobics Class,” or “Lose 5 Pounds,” others will sometimes say, “Take a Step Backward.” But like a kid at the game table, “Take a Step Backward,” is NOT the end of the game -- you just wait your turn to move forward again.
Every day of your life now becomes much more than a roll of the dice. You are the master of your existence, embracing healthy body imagery and good health. And you are the winner every single moment that you pick up the tools to be 100% fully ALIVE.
Begin by making sure that your toolkit is full of fresh, living food. Add to it movement and companionship. A good walk or a hike with a friend or a yoga class with your best buddy is literally worth its weight in gold. Discover how wonderful you begin to feel when your movement is more than a thousand steps on the treadmill.
Schedule this “play time” as if your life depends on it – because the big secret is that it does. The treasure chest is not buried on a distant island; it is literally beating inside of you this very moment. And make no mistake, your heart was meant to work every single day. Lazy days at desk jobs ending in couch time at the TV literally rob us of precious days and years of our "heart health."
Today, get moving and embrace the one, beautiful you and this one beautiful day.
Celebrate it with healthy choices and a great beginning! If you aren’t sure how to do that or you need to create a new relationship with yourself that includes Body Image Mastery, or if you have been challenged by yo-yo dieting, eating disorder recovery, obesity, etc., feel free to reach out to me at (415) 464-1234 or Laura@LauraFenamore.com for a few tips and heaps of encouragement and inspiration.
This is your one precious and only body and I know you can change whatever you want to change.

“Why is Water so important?”
Marching to a new beat means taking action and if you are not drinking enough water I urge you to get into action about that immediately.
Tea and Coffee and soft drinks do not count as a replacement for water. SORRY.
Water is the single most important thing we put in our mouths.
Here are six important reasons we must drink water everyday:
1. to regulate our body temperature
2. to keep our vital body parts hydrated
3. to aid nutrients in traveling to our organs
4. to transport oxygen to our cells
5. to remove waste
6. to protect our joints and organs.
In addition water fills you up and flushes away those things that keep your cells stagnant. It is so healing. I encourage you to read up on the impact water has on your health and well-being.
What are you waiting for? March right on over to a glass of water right now and drink up.
Some of my clients have complained that it makes them have to use the rest room more often. I say, it is a small price for the benefits.

6 Simple Tools To Support Your Life
In your journey to success, what are you attached to (my I am not enough story) that is not serving you? And what is the impact that this is having on your career? The best plan for anything in life is starting small and taking baby steps. Small steps work as long as they get practiced consistently. If you want to increase sales and feel better about your bottom line, take care of YOUR OWN HEALTH first and success will follow. I suggest you try these simple steps that support you ‘being enough’!
Six simple steps to remind you that you are ENOUGH
Step 1. CREATE A PLAN AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! Take 15 minutes in the next 24 hours to write out what you want to change in your life to support (your health and) your career. What behavior(s) do you need to let go of that are limiting your success?
Step 2. PRACTICE SOMETHING NEW EVERDAY! Create a daily practice that will bring this new experience to you effortlessly. Write out what you want. Then do something small everyday to support it. It could be reading a daily affirmation , journaling or listening to something positive everyday that will embody this “new way of being.”
Step 3. SHARE YOUR PLAN! Share what you want to create with someone you feel safe with. Just doing this simple act will invoke change. I promise you that. Or hire a coach.
Step 4. ASK FOR A SEPARATION! Ask the voice of your critic, the one that says, “your not working hard enough” or “you shouldn’t have eaten that” to take a break. Let it know you need a separation for the next couple of months.
Step 5. MAKE NOTES TO YOU! Put notes all over your home, workspace, on your nightstand, your bathroom mirror, reminding yourself that you ‘are enough’!
Step 6. FIND A ROLE MODEL! Do an informational interview with someone you admire. Ask them how they broke through limiting beliefs and how their “being-ness” supported their success?
If you need some more tools or have more questions, please call my toll free 24 hour pre-recorded information line at:1-800 376-0163 Extension # 86017 for body esteem coaching.
You are worth the 5 minutes it takes to make the call.
