Welcome back!

I looked around at a few blogs today that deal with bodily issues - why you should deprive yourself of food, work your ass off by pounding the pavement, or fret over the weight gain that is coming over the holidays.

Pish tush!  What a bunch of piddle!  This kind of thinking will keep you chained to your scale forevermore.  do you want that?  Or would you prefer the freedom of understanding what is truly making you gain that weight?

Weight gain, like all the other experiences we create, is an individual, mental creation.  I know you don’t see it!  If you saw it, you’d have quit it long before you made it habitual and an ugly monster that seems permanent as I did.  You see, ladies, the reason I wrote my book was to explain all this to you.  Now I know you’re ramping up to autobahn speeds over this holiday thing.  So, why don’t you get your hubby or your best girlfriend to buy you a copy of the book for Christmas and you can begin to read it on Dec. 26th. And for all of the “thems” in your life who assume you value their opinion, just tell them you’re on it.

My 75 year old aunt got her copy of the book two days ago.  She’s read half of it already and told me she can’t peel herself away from it!  And that’s two generations ago, when their ideas were even more set in concrete. She amazed even me!

Wishing you love,

Pat

In getting started as a blogger, you blog in a vacuum.  My dedication might well be to help other large women learn to love and accept themselves as is, but until some of those women begin to chat with me, “the vacuum.”

I went and looked at my Blog stats.  Seems like quite a few people are visiting the Blog and that’s very heartening.  And next, I thought “Well, Patty, your experience in life is that you’ve always had lots to say, but cannot keep your mouth shut to let other people say their piece.”

So this one’s for you:  Please tell me what your three biggest challenges are as a fat woman. You talk.  I’ll listen.  I’d love to listen and then dialogue with you.
