3). An Attitude of Gratitude By : Sharron Myers
Well, it’s Thanksgiving again for the Canadians, and here in Germany we have celebrated our Erntedankfest, but anytime of the year is a good time to practice an attitude of gratitude.

7). Life Is One Damn Diet After Another By : Virginia Bola
Allowing ourselves to think of a diet as a delineated, restricted period within our total life span is a sure avenue back to tent city (that refers to what we wear, not where we live).

8). The Chefs Are Coming, The Chefs Are Coming . . . By : Virginia Bola
It was in the late 1980s and 1990s that we started to balloon to what is now epic proportions. Yes, that correlates with the growth spurt of the fast food outlets and the soft drink industry.

11). Momma Said "Keep Your Fingers Out Of Your Mouth" By : Virginia Bola

12). Were Cave Dwellers Ever Fat? By : Virginia Bola
What did our cavemen forbears bequeath as their legacy? Underfed and overactive, they willed us a body that still thinks we dwell in the primordial forest. Suddenly cut back on our intake of food and the alert is sounded through the nervous system and organs of our prehistoric physiology. "Famine coming, famine coming" our bodies shriek and immediately our metabolism slows to a crawl.

13). The Folly of Diet Recipes By : Virginia Bola

14). Dieting: I Can't Afford To Lose Weight! By : Virginia Bola, PsyD
We are so eager to lose weight that we swallow the promises of every diet guru on the planet and eagerly plunk down our hard earned cash, praying that this time it will work.

Those initial fees range from $20 or $30 for a book to several hundred dollars for a personal program.

17). It's All In The Numbers By : Virginia Bola

The e-mail comes out at noon. "To celebrate your hard work this week, there is cake and ice cream in the big kitchen at 3 today. Be there!" The universal reward for hard work always seems to be food: cake and ice cream, a catered lunch for in-service training sessions, pizza for the overtime crew, bagels and cream cheese to brighten up a bleak Monday morning.

21). Look On Aisle 5 By : Virginia Bola
We stock up on packages loaded with chemicals we can’t even pronounce. We pick up bags of quick snacks with nary a nutrient in the bunch. We throw fluffy breads and crackers into our cart, knowing they are merely edible plates.

22). The Holidays: An Emotional Feast By : Virginia Bola, PsyD
Every year, I swear that I will be thin enough to wear my smallest dress to the office party. And every year, I don’t quite make it. Oh, I can usually get into it by the beginning of February after a diet-obsessed, guilt-ridden January, but it doesn’t mean as much then. Why are November and December so toxic to our weight control efforts? Certainly there is abundant food available during the month long celebration from Thanksgiving to New Year.

23). Diet: Facing Lousy Choices By : Virginia Bola, PsyD
It's 11:30 AM. You've been up since 5 o'clock and the hunger meter is on high. "What to eat?" you think to yourself.

24). Weight: Give Us Something To Shoot For By : Virginia Bola, PsyD
We have all seen the new Dove commercials that feature “real” women rather than the impossibly “ideal” models that are usually selected. While the Dove girls are universally attractive and fit, they also reflect different sizes and shapes, designed to represent the average American woman. Is that what we want? Glorifying our diversity seems like a positive development which should lead to increased self-content and improved self-esteem.

25). The Diet Bore. By : Virginia Bola, PsyD
You probably know a diet bore: there's at least one in every office, every group, and at every get-together. It's almost always female - men lose weight too but don't seem to feel the same compulsion to convert the entire world. Blame it on our innate female need to change everyone else. The diet bore is the one who knows the caloric count of every morsel you eat, and makes sure you know it too.
