A book?

As you know, this blog began as an accountability tool. But over the course of the year, it has become so much more. Its now a community that reaches far beyond my own imagining. This weekend following my One Year post, I received many requests for support, coaching, direction and suggestions about how to go about losing weight and keeping it off. Everyone is looking for, as I was at the beginning of my journey, a tailor-made action plan. The two most common questions seem to be "What do I do?" and "How do I stick with it?" These two questions are difficult to answer in a quick email or phone call and the answer is different for everyone.  I am making a focused attempt to thoughtfully answer all your emails - so if you haven't heard from me, you will soon!  But I am also finding that answering your questions in a longer form may ultimately be more effective.

Through my work over the past year, I have developed what I think is an effective line of inquiry to answer "What do I do?" and "How do I stick with it?" Its a series of questions, a little self-experimentation and some grounded information that will lead you to an actionable and sustainable weight-loss plan. I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but I have real world experience. After trying many avenues and asking lots of questions, I've ultimately found an authentic path to healthy weight loss, a renewed spirit, emotional ease and a vibrant life. So here is my question to you, dear reader: Would you be interested enough in my ideas to pay for a book or private coaching?

I've already begun the process of writing a practical, intuitive guide to slimming down and getting healthy. The goal? A funny, breezy but honest, no-nonsense book filled with simple tools to help the reader create and maintain a tailor-made plan to get healthy. Part memoir, part work book, part self-help; a humorous, down-to-earth book that would address the real issues most working and stay-at-home mother's deal with when trying to face-off with their old habits.
