Lose Weight Find Life
As you shrink, you grow
I had a dentist appointment and brought my iPod. I had purchased and downloaded the book written by Valerie Bertinelli, the spokeswoman for Jenny Craig.
I purchased it not because I'm into Jenny Craig but because of the personal challenges and huge successes she has achieved. It was somewhat interesting to hear about the rock and roll life and marriage of Eddie Van Halen and Valerie but what I loved the most was how her weight has impacted her life.
Here she is beautiful, rich and famous, yet she struggles with food, weight and body image. It was remarkable to me how she could remember milestones in her life by her weight. I've done the same thing.
As I've lost and maintained my 147 pound weight loss for over 8 years, it has brought me great joy to think about as I shrunk in body size that I've gained so much in my life. As my body became thinner, I became larger inside myself. I've achieved a new sense of confidence, self-esteem and successes never thought possible.
I'm glad that I have her book on my iPod. I am going to listen to it again (without the drill of the dentist!). I will skip over the drugs, alcohol, rock and roll parts to when she made the decision to take control of her life and lose weight. She was inspiration and motivational, yet she is just the same as all of us in her quest for weight loss and happiness in her life.

What is the title of her book. I haven't mastered downloading to my I-phone yet. Could I download it to my home computer? I'm just a small "squeek" away from being a technology illiterate LOL
