Healthy You Challenge

I got so excited when I saw that headline on CNN. I wonder how many of you saw it too? When I clicked on the story I immediately recognized the photos from the weight loss success show that aired in the fall on Oprah.

Lynn Bering was one of the guests. Maybe because she started off as a size 30/32, maybe because she dropped to a size 4/6, maybe because she lost over 167 or maybe because she did this in her 40's but I immediately felt a connection to this woman and her story.

I was thrilled to see her story featured on CNN today and learn more about her journey. It turns out, she is a blogger!!


This quote from Lynn's Weight Loss Tips on CNN really hit home...

I still write down everything I eat. I still ask myself, "How will I feel five minutes after I eat this?" If the answer is anything other than, "I will feel good having made this food choice," then I don't eat it. Or at least most of the time I don't. Sometimes that whiny voice wins. But the point is, I think about it. Am I eating because I want to or because I need to? Am I feeding some emotion I'm afraid to examine?
