You know when you scrape the hell out of the bowl/plate/whatever until you decide your done.
You ever do that to yourself? Where you just feel so addicted to food that you’re leaving no crumbs?
Savor life.
If only we can savor all of life like that! That is what I think. This craving, this desire to savor that is designed in us….. we need to not slap ourselves on the hand.
Life isn’t catholic school with Nun’s, ruler in hand, ready to attack any attempt of enjoyment. Reward yourself by expanding your palate of pleasures in life.
Oral pleasures don’t make a satisfied life. Continue reading

When she hit 575 pounds, Tammey Burns tried to commit suicide. The attempt didn’t work, leaving the Missouri woman with no other choice but to finally lose the hundreds of pounds of fat that had robbed her of her life.
It took seven years and a journey deep within herself, but today the newest member of the Joy Fit Club weighs in at a trim 165 pounds.
Burns showed off her new figure and shared her story with Joy Fit Club founder Joy Bauer and TODAY’s Matt Lauer Monday in New York. To illustrate how much fat she lost, huge buckets filled with 410 pounds of lard were piled on risers on the stage. Next to them stood three TODAY interns — two women and one man who together weigh as much as Burns did before she lost all that weight.
The Joy Fit Club consists of men and women who have lost and kept off 100 pounds or more. All of them have done it by diet and exercise; none by surgery. Burns is the 72nd member of the club — but none of her predecessors has lost as much weight as she has.
A life of limits
“Food was my drug of choice,” the 50-year-old woman told Lauer and Bauer. It took the failed suicide attempt to force her to discover that.
At the time, the list of things Burns couldn’t do was endless. She couldn’t visit friends for fear she’d break any furniture she sat on. Couldn’t get in a car. Couldn’t go to the movies. Couldn’t attend to her own hygiene without help.
She couldn’t pick her foot up high enough Continue reading
Okay, so many of us have these inner battles going on of wanting a better life for ourself but not ever having a better life. Which leads to frustration. Then action for a little while. Then failure and then avoidance until it’s starts bothering us again. It’s a vicious cycle.
I have grown up with hopes and dreams like any other person. I want to be an Author. I want to be a great mind. I want to be a husband. I want to be a father. I want to be financially successful. I want to have a life that makes a difference in the world around me. This list could go on and on.
This list of hopes and dreams…… it is the accumulation of the memories I look forward to making. And you know what the common element is in all of them? I am thin and healthy. I have a picture in my head of that life…..but in real life….. I am frustrated realizing that I am passing year after year, memory after memory, that I once dreamed accomplishing in a different state than I am.
I have all these fat memories to look back on instead of the thin life fantasy I hoped it would have been as life keeps moving forward regardless if I choose to or not. The problem is Continue reading
