Spring Cleaning - Have A Good Clear Out!

Hello!

Mole, in the Wind in the Willows famously said “hang spring cleaning” and went off with Ratty to have fun on the river. And I can see where he was coming from. I’ve just had my office redecorated – we moved here nine years ago so there was an accumulation of stuff to sort out. The bookshelves are still empty because I haven’t decided what is going to go back in. I don’t want to live with the same accretion of stuff that I started off with!

So what does this have to do with weight loss?

Well, clearing out your life is sometimes essential if you are going to focus on success. You may know the phrase “clear the decks”. If you have ever been aboard a ship you will know how important it is to keep the decks clear. If you trip over something you won’t just have a sore toe and a bruised ego, you could also end up overboard! If you are walking around the deck trying to avoid obstacles you’ll be looking at your feet, not at where you are going.

If you clear the decks in your life you’ll be able to see where you are going there too.

So what is cluttering up your life?

Is your work environment a mess? Even for someone like me (I’m a piler, not a filer) mess eventually gets to me. It wastes energy tiptoeing through the junk, it wastes time looking for stuff and it’s difficult to keep the air clean and healthy with an accumulation of fluff. Negotiating the obstacles will slow you down and, hey, you need to move quickly for the exercise!
Is your kitchen a mess? Go, on, sort out the cupboards and get rid of the junk. Dried herbs that predate this century, ready meals that you have “just in case” and munchies that you keep “for the kids”. Who are you kidding? Clear it all out. Believe me, if you are saving it because you hate waste you can be assured that keeping a load of barely edible foods in your house is not going the help the starving in Africa. Or anywhere else.
Is your head a mess? Yes, you knew I’d get there eventually. Why are you losing weight anyway? Is it for you or someone else? Why does it matter? Unless you really know what weight loss means to you (other than the obvious that you’ll look less chubby) you won’t want to do it.

Clearing the room and putting back into it only the essentials has given me a freedom to concentrate on the things that really matter. You owe it to your slim and gorgeous self to de-clutter you life so you can focus on the fantastic you!

Best wishes for your best self,

Liz

Weight Loss Success

Spring Greens Anyone?

Did you know you can eat dandelion leaves? You may not want to but if your garden is overgrown try the new spring leaves as a salad. Don’t try this in the autumn. You need the young fresh leaves not the old leathery ones at the end of summer.

And no roadside ones (pollution) or doggy trod ones (hygiene). But organic dandelion greens shold be easy to find. Full of vitamin C and bound to make you bounce like a bunny.

(Oops. I forgot, the title of this newsletter is No More Rabbit Food)

Foodie Fact

The person who coined the term “vitamin” was a man called Casimir Funk. With a name like that, you know he’d come up with something really good!

Bust Bad Food Habits

Does that Danish have your name written on it? (I mean the pastry, not some Scandinavian hunk).

Bad food habits can be real diet busters. Try the Bad Food Habits Buster. This is available as a stand-alone session or as part of the Weight-Less Health Plan.
