Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part III

Neutrals
There are a host of diet pill name brands that fill the shelves at Wal-Mart and all of your local drugstores. Some appetite suppressants can be prescribed by your physician (and if you are seriously interested in taking an appetite suppressant I suggest you see your doctor). However, there are millions of people who have relied on non-prescription diet supplements in an effort to lose weight. On my many weight loss journeys, I too have taken non-prescription diet pills. The pills that I took are called Hydroxycut and are still available in stores today. Considering the fact that any type of drug can have severe effects on the body I knew it was important for me to take extreme caution while taking the pills. I took diet pills when I was trying to lose 15 pounds.…

Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move forward (part III)

Plums
An important thing to do in this stage is to learn you.  A broken heart doesn’t heal itself. It takes the effort of that individual to make them whole again.  This is the opportunity to really enjoy you.  Find out the things you like and don’t like. Living life without limitations places you in a predicament where you get to know yourself more.    Take risks. Do things you haven’t done. You have all the time in the world to figure out what it is you are all about.  Everybody has something they like doing. Take advantage and fully indulge in it. Being able to live a fulfilled single lifestyle properly prepares you for the time you will need to give to the right one.Another good thing about this stage is…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part II

Weight Watchers may be the right fit for you! So we can all agree that Jennifer Hudson looks amazing since she lost over 80 lbs. and has gone from a size 16 to a size 6. Weight Watchers was instrumental in J.Hud losing all of that weight. Now, like I have told you all before I have tried a lot of methods, lots of fat burners and yes, I have tried Weight Watcher’s too! I went to the meetings, I bought the books they sold, I counted my points, I weighed in, and I did everything my group leader and the Weight Watcher’s staff told me to do and it worked! I LOST WEIGHT!!  I lost about thirty pounds on Weight Watchers going from a size 12 to a size…

Trying to make the best of an unhappy situation takes focus and courage. It can be done. If you have been following the articles on Stupid Bitch Syndrome you are aware of its dangers. The most important danger being, losing oneself.

Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move Forward

With the New Year only days in, it's imperative that I start the articles on the Recovering Bitch. I'm talking about all of the people who don't want to bring that unnecessary, unwanted, drama into the New Year with them. The RB focuses on the self. They must work on ways to make themselves feel wanted and appreciated. This has to be accomplished before they can give themselves to anybody else.“Out with the old and in with the New.” People love to use this slogan when referring to the desire to move past unhappy relationships. This slogan is often heard at the beginning of the year. As a way to tell yourself "Its over!" But is it really? We have learned some of the qualities of a SB and can point…

Walking Alone

Are there times when you feel like the more good you have going on, the more bad or evil things come your way? What will you do when you do not know what to do? Are you constantly searching for the reasons why things in your life are not changing? Well if you are then I must ask you to look to God!  God knows what he is doing in your life and has a purpose for you.  He does not want you to handle every situation in your life on your own. In fact, that is impossible to do.  How can you handle everything on your own without seeking his guidance? There is nothing wrong with praying and talking to God because he is not judgmental.  I encourage you…

Seasons come and Seasons go

Pinks
Going through day to day life you will encounter several people and have some type of relationship with each one, be it associate, friend, co-worker, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc. Each one serves a different purpose for furthering our growth and development but a lot of times, especially when dealing with matters of the heart, we find it hard to let go once the relationship has run its course. This lack of letting go will eventually end in heartbreak but it doesn’t have to.                 As a young child we are taught the seasons of the year and during these seasons different things happen to the plants and animals. Spring is the time for planting, Summer is the time for growing, Autumn is the time for harvesting and Winter clears everything out to…
