Sheri’s Rants # 35: Cocktail Party Tale

March 26, 2010 by

I met Rachel last night at a cocktail party.  She’s a dog breeder in her mid 60’s with a beautiful, intelligent sparkle in her eyes.  We talked ‘dog’, and then she asked what I do for work.  I started to tell her.  She excitedly cut me off: “I lost 42 lbs last year!” “Nice work” […]

February 3, 2010 by

There are two popular routes to ‘fast’ weight loss. The first one is fasting and the second is diet pills.  A third route gaining in popularity is a dangerous combination of the two – the HCG diet which combines injections of human growth hormone with a metabolism-wasting 500 calories a day. First some factual background […]

Robert has cancer – lymphoma of the liver – and is waiting for a liver transplant.  We spoke at length about nutrition.  He’s highly nutrition aware these days, and this is what he told me:  “Basically, I’m living on a lot of raw veggies and fruit, and I had to cut my protein down from […]

Sheri’s Rants # 32: Set Your Goals and ORGANIZE

January 3, 2010 by

Resolutions are nice, yes – if you understand that resolutions are basically an emotional response.  Other words for ‘resolute’ are: purposeful, adamant, firm, unswerving, steadfast, staunch, unwavering, unfaltering, persistent…you get the drift.  We make ‘resolutions’ out of a feeling of resolve for change. Moving from a resolution to a GOAL requires a little more thought […]

A long while ago, a great warrior had to make a decision which ensured his success on the battlefield.  He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own.  He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to […]

Where SELF RESPONSIBILITY really gets testy with people is around illness.  In our culture, we do not accept responsibility for illness – we loooooovvvve the victim stance.  We say, “I’m sick because I was exposed to a bunch of sick kids this weekend” or “My whole family has been sick with this, it was only […]

“Sheri, I had such a great week.  The best ever.  I am feeling so good and finally feel like I can be successful and have what I want with my body!  I’m so excited.” I’ll bite.   “What happened?” “Well,” she gushed, “every day I am really good about drinking 3 quarts of water.  I’m great […]

Sheri’s Rants # 28: What Caused the Fat Gain?

October 31, 2009 by

I want to break something down to you really fast, here:  What caused the fat gain in the first place? Until that reason is determined — different in each of us — no fat loss system can possibly succeed over the long term. Even if a short-term loss is achieved, the weight will be regained, […]

This video footage starts with me telling a story and going into a short spiel on GT.  Then we were done filming and I was having a smoothie.  The camera guy asked me a question and I went off on an impromptu rant – and didn’t know he was filming.  As a result, it was […]

When planning purchases, especially major ones, life is much easier if you’ve saved up for them, isn’t it?  If you haven’t, then you end up in debt – and once you’re in debt you’re accruing interest rates, and now you owe even MORE money, right?  And the pain of payment is stretched out over time; […]
