This secret to losing weight is so counter intuitive it's going to astonish you.

Although it’s now more politically correct to say release weight rather than lose weight, due to the negative connotation with the word “lose,” I still appreciate the term, crass though it may sound, for what it states in black and white–you’re going to lose something.

And while it’s really easy to lose money, lose track of time, or lose papers on a messy desk–at least it is for me–weight is one of those pernicious areas that defies the idea that losing something is easy. Weight’s got the bad reputation for being hard to shake.

To break that bad rep, and to show you how the act of slimming can actually be pleasurable, on this week’s video blog I emphasize the importance of going deeper into the matter to reveal what at first might not be obvious.

When you go deeper into appreciation of the idea that, yes, something will be lost, something will be left behind, the path of wanting to shed pounds becomes more dimensional than a calorie-counter can comprehend, and becomes about the whole of your being.

That’s why I call this the feminine strategies for weight loss, because like the proverbial Mother Earth–who includes all, and excludes none–this approach looks to take all the parts of you that are influencing whether you lose weight or not into consideration, creating a naturally holistic solution.

One thing I can promise you–the parts of yourself you‘ll discover on this journey of going deeper will give you needed clues on how to have a fantastic life and lose weight in the process.

I know you’ll enjoy this video on approaching slimming in a way that probes much further than skin deep.

Leave me a comment in the comment section below with what this idea stirs up for you.

Love,

Sometimes I can’t help myself.

This year is all about getting pleasure into the hands of as many women as I can. (And into their hearts, minds & bodies, too.)

Are any of these your intentions this year?

  • To pay more attention to food, exercise, eating and your overall health
  • To relax your “death-grip” on eating rules… and STILL eat healthy and well
  • To feel REALLY good about the way you look
  • To stop being so hard on yourself
  • To drop 5, 10, 30, or even 50 pounds
  • To rev up your love life, your dating life, or your relationship
  • To eat better
  • To really LIVE your life… free from negative body image or unkindness to yourself

Because any of these are your intentions, I want for you & me to play. So I’m rolling out a whole series of ways for us to do just that.

Next up: New York City.

What are you doing Wednesday, February 1st?

If you’re to shake up your normal routine… I warmly invite you to join me for a new evening workshop: “Your Permission Slip for Pleasurable Weight Loss”

Tickets are free (my treat!), but spots are limited.

 Learn more and get your ticket here > > >

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to finally put an end to cravings, binges, and emotional eating
  • My simple approach to creating more time to move & exercise (and ENJOY it!)
  • My secret to making simple, delicious meals and snacks quickly & easily
  • Why more willpower and discipline isn’t the real problem—and what is
  • Why HOW you eat is as key to weight loss as WHAT you eat
  • How to start TRUSTING yourself around food again (or, for the first time ever!)

Look, I know from personal experience that trying to slim down can be so discouraging. It can even feel like drudgery! But that’s not going to happen on my watch. Join me, and learn a whole new way to slim down… while you “power up” your appetite and delight for life itself. That’s what the pleasurable approach is all about.

Don’t miss this! Claim your ticket to this live event with me now > > >

If your food, exercise, and eating habits have been eating at you recently (or for a really long time), I really hope you’ll come.

Bye for now,

Jena

P.S. This is way more than a weight loss workshop. It’s a whole new approach to life itself. It just so happens that this approach WILL help you slim down. But let me assure you, we WILL have a good time together, too… Click here to get your ticket to Your Permission Slip for Pleasurable Weight Loss with me now.

How to *sync* with your body to slim down

December 29, 2011

When I was in the grips of my painful and compulsive relationship with food, and struggling with my weight and my body image as a side-effect, the idea that MOST soothed and comforted me was a two-fold one. The first part of the thought was this: your body is an animal. Literally it’s a mammal. [...]

If you ever eat when you’re full

December 27, 2011

Back when I was struggling with my weight, locked in my self-inflicted prison of restriction and denial, I searched everywhere for a way out. All of the “diet books” sang the one same sorry tune –restriction, denial, control– and in my bones, I knew that couldn’t *really* be the way. Many years later, I’ve since [...]
