Janice - once again I think you make great points. Oprah has the same problem all of us have - permanent weight loss removal - and yes, I must admit that I can't really relate to "Bob's weight loss struggle" - but I do give him credit for saying that the process takes patience - but the real question is 'what do I do with myself while I am being patient with my transformation?' - well how about we work on the transformation itself...that is where OLofWL is so helpful. I signed up to have 'fat cells blown out of my mind' with Janice last Sept and I lost 12 pounds last year (my doctor was happy this week when I weighed in from one year ago) - slow going, but how about not playing the game of 'loose the pounds so that I can hunt for them again during the next difficult (or happy) time in my life - we all know that game. What was most helpful to me - just having accountability (see recent post on this subject) to Janice for writing down/journaling every day during the 3 weeks of email help. Anyway, nice picture of you and Bob - Janice, you look great! Thanks for the on-going help.

Great post, Janice! Your questions hit closer to home than the old standards Bob is asking. But # ONE best key is keeping that sense of humor.

As usual, Janice, a great post from you! Keeping my sense of humor helps me in pretty much every aspect of life. Remember, those who can laugh at themselves, will never cease to be amused.

Thanks Janice for your wonderful questions. I got home from the gym after spending time trying to figure out what I am stomaching and how I am going rid myself of that "stuff" your questions are really hitting me where I need right now in this wonderful journey we are all on. Your questions are the real deal and are being a great help to me right now!

Great post, and especially your emphasis on humour and on the reason "why" questions are a very unhelpful way to frame questions when we want to change. (Or get someone else to change!) "Why" questions always lead to either blame or defensiveness. Bob could have said, "What is it about losing weight, or being thinner that makes you want that outcome in your life?".

I really loved this Kick from you. Your questions are outstanding. As much as I hate being overweight because of not looking my best, having extreme difficulty finding clothes that fit, the unhealthiness of it all, bumping into things and knowing my husband is not as attracted to me, I find there is safety and a pleasant protection about being overweight. I have a very successful "stay fat strategy".
I am also very tired of Oprah (with Bob's help) presenting herself as the final word and authority on the reason we are overweight and about what is going on in our heads.
