Dear
Our Lady of Weight Loss,
May I jump (back) on the
weight loss wagon with
grace and dignity.
Amen

On any given day,
45% of women are on diets,
while only 25% of men are (and they're probably
not being terribly religious about it either).

A
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION OF WEIGHTY PROPORTION
Midnight, New Year's Eve, December 31, 2003 -
The Bell Tolls for Thee
I CONFESS. Even I, Our
Lady of Weight Loss' number one disciple, slipped up
here and there throughout the holiday season. Waking
from my sugar-induced state, I was three pounds up.
How did you fare?
No matter your answer, fear not. It's the start of
a New Year. An opportunity to reflect and to recreate
stands before us - a chance to start anew.
Since weight loss is primarily a mind game, I am going
to focus my mind on my goals and stay out of the kitchen.
My New Year's resolution is to create each week 'Our
Lady art;' art that motivates and anchors me - and hopefully
you as well - to our weight loss goals.
The KICK in the TUSH Club was conceived
when I mentioned to Our Lady that I wanted to make
art that had a bit of a kick to it. She smiled down
upon me and proclaimed that this work be
called 'Art-KICKS' and those who are the recipients
of said kicks to be known as Members of
The
KICK in the TUSH Club. (The first Art-Kick is due
Monday, January 5.)
What will your New Year's resolution be?

Fruitful Contest
~ Can you Haiku?
Win a basketful of prayer.
Haiku, a traditional form of Japanese poetry, is a 17-syllable
verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7,
and 5 syllables. In Japanese, this convention is a must,
but in English, which has variation in the length of syllables,
this can sometimes be difficult.
In other words, do your best. The best weight loss
haiku will win a Basketful of Prayer, to include
an Our Lady prayer candle, an original ArtWare candle
coaster and a prayer card. And the winner's haiku will
be published in the next edition of THE SKINNY!
Please email submissions to info@OurLadyofWeightLoss.com
by February 29, 2004. (Leap Year) Be sure to include
your contact information.

Chewing
the Fat
DEAR OLofWL,
I've discovered something about dieting that I thought
you might want to share with your readers. Fetishize
your ingredients. Meaning, for example, I've never
been too excited to eat a salad, but I just discovered
salted, roasted peas (the crunchy, Asian kind) as substitutes
for croutons (which, BTW, are really great as an accompaniment
to just grape tomatoes). By focusing this one element
of the salad -- fetishizing it (to mix sex and food
metaphors, as you do in your art) -- eating salad becomes
a more enjoyable experience.~ Roasted and Salted
Dear Roasted and Salted, Thanks for your
suggestion. I tried it and loved it and will pass the
suggestions on to my readers. Those salty little pea
devils are fab! ~ Our Lady

DEAR OLofWL,
I recently started a new job and my shift is from 4
p.m. to midnight. When I get home, I basically dump
the contents of the refrigerator down my throat.
Any advice?~ HV in Dump Mode
Dear HV in Dump Mode,
My best advice is to take the appropriate snacks with
you, including your dinner. If there's no fridge, try
a thermo bag. Never,ever let yourself get too hungry.
I know when my stomach hits rock bottom empty, my will
goes right out the window. Fat and sugar food thoughts
take over. Plan ahead. ~ Our Lady
