For years, I made this statement, “As soon as my brain heard that I was planning some weight loss program, my inner rebel kicked in and demanded a candy bar.”

Well, not any candy bar; nine times out of ten, it was a Snickers Bar.

The thought of going on a diet hasn’t crossed my mind for over twenty years.  The concept of deprivation does not work for me.

So after writing yesterday’s post, I was at the store, where we all know, retailers prominently display candy bars.

I picked up a Snickers Bar.

I was a little amused. It has been months since I had one. And the rule is I can have what I want.

Well, I ate two bites and I was done.

This has never happened in my entire life. I have always finished a snickers bar.

I have never even shared one.

It just didn’t taste good to me. It tasted like something I had outgrown.

I didn’t get here over night.

But from my own experience and that of my many clients, I can tell you it is totally worth it!

And there’s more. A client near and dear to my heart, called to share that she had verbalized to the most pain-provoking person in her life, words of forgiveness.

Now she had said the forgiveness words in my office.  Most of the time, this is a fake it until you make it proposition.

The important part is setting the intention.

The intention of forgiveness creates an opening.

She said, “For the first time in years, I don’t feel an emptiness and I feel lighter.”

I know that sounds strange, but it makes perfect sense to her, and to me.

So that’s it.
