Having a Frumpy Day

Are you having one of these days?

I'm out here iat Universal Studios in California for a
conference.

I just pitched ThinWithin.com to the Tyra show and E! and
they both lit up at the whole notion of thinking thin.

However....

I was wearing jeans and a sweater when talking with them,
not my finest attire.

When I put on my black pants yesterday morning, I was
shocked to find that the metal piece on my waistband
had fallen off, so I was only left with jeans to wear.

I felt dumpy. I felt unprofessional and I felt
pretty uncomfortable.

So here's what I want you to know... no matter
whether you're a size 2 or a size 22, you have
dumpy days. The key is not to make it last or
you could find yourself feeling worse and find
yourself 10 pounds heavier in no time.

I'm heading into day two of my seminar, and
I'm sure to meet many new producers and authors.

I realize that this conference might not be
my best feeling conference, but I just woke
up, did some yoga and meditated overlooking
beautiful rolling hills in my hotel, all of
which connected me and energizing me. I said
affirmations of love and gratitude, and
I know I will eat in alignment to my body.

Despite my outfit today (who knows what
that will be), I will smile and stand tall.
I will put on makeup and look my best.

I say all this to inspire you to
do the same today. We all have "not so
attractive" days, it's normal. Just
don't take it out on your body by
overeating or sliding into a depression by
turning to food.

Stand up tall, walk with confidence and
smile knowing that you can do anything!!

You are beautiful.

Will all the love in my heart,
Marna

Can Lipstick Make You Thin??

Have you ever been sitting in your
car listening to the radio - when something
grabs you?

The other day I was sitting in the
car and I heard my favorite morning
DJ's talking about this certain lipstick
that will make you thin.

My initial reaction was "Are you
kidding me? What stupid diet
invention are they coming up with
now?"

But then I thought about it...

Of course lipstick can make you
thin!!!

You don't need any particular lipstick,
yours will do the trick.

It's true! When you feel good about
yourself and wear lipstick, splash
on your favorite perfume/cologne, or
lather your body in delicious smelling
lotion, of course you can slim down.

I see it in my practice ALL the time!

Slimming down is all about how you
love yourself. How you care for your
body and what you do to nurture it.

So reach into your purse and throw
on a gorgeous shade of lipstick, and
know, that the more you do now to
feel good about your body, the more your
body with thank you.

P.S. I have created a very special
treat for you that I'll be sharing
in the next few days...until then,
I'm finishing up the last touches!
