Guest guest Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well hello there to all my clubhouse members and website friends! I am so happy to see you. Is it getting Hot, Hot, Hot where you are? Welcome to the sunshine month. Ahhh...June! There wasn't a lot of sun everywhere last month. Those April showers came late this year. May ended up being a very rainy month in much of the country. Many in our country were affected by storms, and floods. But now the sun is coming back and the hot weather is on it's way! All the sunshine and summer weather makes me think of vacations! And that makes me really get excited about my Cruise to Lose and all the beautiful places we'll be visiting. I'm still working hard on my plans. Hooray to Hollywood is going to be such a fun theme. And I just can't wait for you to all come visit Slimmons the night before we leave. If you haven't visited my Cruise to Lose page, you really should check it out. And if you haven't booked your trip yet, now is the time to book. We have less than 100 spaces left, and the sooner you book the more room choices you'll have. And hey, don't forget to grab that discount coupon off my website! I'll be teaching at Slimmons a lot this month...and I'm also traveling some too. I'll be taking a trip to Las Vegas to film a little piece with the Miss America contestants. Won't that be fun!!! If any other events come up that I need to tell you about, I'll be sure to add them to my calendar. And of course I'm spending lots and lots of time working on my website, and visiting my clubhouse. And I'll be doing my weekly chats with my webbies. Our June Auditorium will be on the 6th. And I'll be coming in 15 minutes early to chat a bit about the cruise before our regular chat begins. I'm predicting lots of sun in the USA this month. It's June! The sixth month of the year and I don't want to hear any gloom from you...do you hear me? I want you to be happy this month. I'm talking happy as a cherry on a hot fudge sundae! Every day, I read emails from people who're in gloomy moods. They write me and say, "Oh, I just can't do this anymore! I don't think I'm really worth it. I don't believe I'll ever get all this weight off!" Okay, so how's that for gloomy, huh? Now listen, I want there to be no putting yourself down this month! I don't want you saying that you can't lose this weight or that you don't deserve it. Where does that kind of negative thought get you, huh? (Hey, not to your weight loss goal, that's for sure.) I don't care how many times you've tried to lose weight and get in better shape in the past. This month, I want you to strive to feel good about yourself. And I want you to know your worth. I also want you to believe in yourself that you can lose this weight, once and for all. Other emails I receive sound like this: ", my mother told me once, when I was in 7th grade, that I would always be fat. And I guess she was right because here I am, a grown woman now and I weigh over 250 pounds! Not only that but my aunt once told me that the handsome boys wanted nothing to do with chubby girls. Now how do you think I felt when she told me that? And can you imagine how I feel about myself today? All I can think about lately is what my mother and my aunt told me when I was young. My situation feels so hopeless." Well, I would certainly call those gloomy thoughts. But come on now. I don't want you wasting any more of your time thinking about the negative comments made to you by family members who thought they were doing something "constructive" telling you things like that. This month, I want you to think about the nice things people have said about you. And I know there have been many. I want you to concentrate on the good things, the compliments made about you for a change. And some people who email me tell me they were "born to be fat" now there's a thought that's gonna get you nowhere. No one was "born" to be fat! Hey, it's up to you whether you choose to be obese or not. Please don't feed those kinds of thoughts to yourself because they just ain't so! Now... you know I always have a recipe for you each month.
