Dear Taichung Happiers,

“I thought I told you to lose weight. What happened to your three week diet?”
“I finished it in three days!”

Are you a perfectionist? Why is losing weight the most tempting topic anytime anywhere? Having won 13 Emmys and 14 People's Choice Awards during her career, talk show host and author Ellen Degeneres announced her adorable grandma’s story out loud. “You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where she is.” If. if you were thinner, what special satisfaction would you savor? Wholeheartedly, welcome to join our host Harris on a lighter Saturday afternoon.

Weight? Mmm…No numbers; only equations. What enters into the “equation” of keeping your weight at a healthy level? For American writer, actor, and director George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985), his “four” is the new “one”. "My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.” All right, whatever equals your new “one”, please try this quiz first. http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/diet-fitness/weight-loss/weight-loss-myth-quiz.htm Then, if you want to confess what food you consumed this Monday (According to the Chinese calendar, this Monday was Lidong, The Start of Winter), just hold on. You will love Traci Mann, Ph. D., a Professor of Psychology at University of Minnesota, who admonished us not to diet again. Her research results revealed that willpower doesn’t matter too much for weight--genes play a very powerful role in people’s weight-- our hormones and metabolism are coordinated by genes. Furthermore, she suggested sensible strategies to empower ourselves to be healthier and less worried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-vMrrZA3cM

Follow your heart……., and feed your heart as the new stomach. Not only because your heart is so close to your stomach physically, but also because weight-loss (=a healthy lifestyle + a positive mindset) requires your self-compassion. Self-compassion is a total manager taking comprehensive care of your perspectives, persistence, and self–promises. http://www.positivepsyc.com/blog/how-to-practice-self-compassion-lose-weight-and-feel-good-about-yourself Moreover, the natural world cultivates the most curious coaches. See? In order to turn into a beautiful butterfly, the hungry caterpillar has to first eat, eat, and eat, and, be fat. What a gorgeous gain! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8lyaHzSbpY By the way, what would you reward yourself to stay motivated for the health/weight goals?

“Scale” (By Shel Silverstein)

If I could only see the scale,
I’m sure that it would state
That I’ve lost ounces …maybe pounds
Or even tons of weight.
“You’d better eat some pancakes– –
You’re skinny as a rail.”
I’m sure that’s what the scale would say …
If I could see the scale.

Your goals - your doubts = your reality. That’s the “Equation for Everything” from professional football player Ralph Marston (February 16, 1907 December 7, 1967). For health and happiness, weight or lifestyle change is specifically a spiritual journey; an action on weight/health is nothing more than finding your authentic self--which can be untangled by mindfulness. Mindfulness supports people to sustain motivation. Check out this exercise habit example as the following. http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/why_youre_not_meeting_your_exercise_goals Ahhh....... Relaxing time again. Take a deep breath. It would be extremely exciting if we can learn about the art of weight-loss from different cultures around the world. http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20525096,00.html

Love yourself and reflect the light. What is the perfect gift for yourself when you reach the health/weight goal? On American author Betty MacDonald’s list, “There’s nothing as cozy as a piece of candy and a book.” How about dancing like nobody’s watching? Now, Lollipop, anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5YrsWTBCzE Join us. Thanks.
