Why eating like a “celebrity” will ruin your metabolism There was a time in my life, many, many years ago, that I used to buy into “celebrity” diets. I’d pick up the current People or Us magazine and read how Oprah or some other celebrity had lost extreme amounts of weight–quickly. The celebrity would claim that all they had to do was eat pre-packaged food, or consume a liquid-only diet, or eat a low calorie diet and/or take a magic supplement to drop pounds rapidly. I would see the before and after pictures and think, “Wow, that diet really worked, look how fast they lost weight, and see how good they looked.”. Both the celebrity and I would assume the diet really worked! What you didn’t see or hear about was how the celebrity, three months later, was struggling to keep off the weight. Then within the next 6 months to 2 years, the same celebrity would show up in People or Us magazine with all the weight back on confessing they had no will power and they had failed, once again, at keeping their weight down. Oprah, it’s not you fault!!! How many of you have seen these headlines in a magazine, TV show, on the Internet or one of the other million of places you are marketed to? *Learn how insert celebrity name here lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. *Or learn how insert celebrity name here lost her baby weight in 60 days. *Or learn how insert celebrity name here got red-carpet ready.

I have been sitting in front of my computer trying to think of something insightful to write, and my mind keeps going blank...
It is hard to wrap my head around all the chaos and insanity in the world right now... Usually, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel, but right now, it is challenging to see anything at all.
My heart aches for the family and friends of George Floyd. I can not even imagine what it must feel like to watch the murder of a family member or friend, especially if the murder is by someone whose job was to protect them.
My heart aches for all the black men, women and children who had/have to endure racial injustice, prejudice, fear, and the trauma of dealing with the ignorance, hate and racism of so many people.
My heart aches for ALL the HONORABLE police officers, who have dedicated their lives to protecting the people of the United States and are having hammers, hatches, bricks, and rocks thrown at them.
My heart aches for the cities and communities that were already being ripped at the seams, from COVID-19, are now being burned, looted and destroyed.
My heart aches for those who have lost a loved one in the past 3-4 months and was unable to hug them, sit with them, hold their hand or even have a funeral to say goodbye.
My heart aches for those who have passed in a hospital all alone and scared.
My heart aches when I see people trying to express their frustrations, fears and thoughts and instead of others trying to understand their point of view, they are quick to jump down their throat and find fault in their comments.
As I sit here at my computer, I want to find something comforting to say, something that can ease some of the pain, anger, fear and frustration that is so prevalent in the world right now.
Yet, all I can say, is I feel you. I want to sit with you, hold you, and BE with you. I want you to feel your feelings AND I will HOLD that space WITH you.
I do not want to try to change how anyone is feeling right now, I just want you to feel whatever the F^#k you are feeling.
If you want to share your feelings, please do. If you want to argue, move along.
