Feature - Expiration Inspiration Perspiration
Labor Day weekend always leaves me feeling a bit panicky. For most of my life I was an elementary school teacher, assistant principal and a curriculum director. My educational background and related experiences have developed some habits and weird longings within me. Maybe I am sortta like a salmon or a swallow [...]

Feature - Summer greetings to you from the MakeMeThinner Cottage.
The days are lazy and warm here in the northwest as we enjoy a delicious pause between summer and fall. Ripe fruit hangs like sapphires from the vines. Remnants of Independence Day sparklers and fireworks linger along the curb as I write this. July is an especially [...]
Feature - Do you have ‘I’ trouble?
‘I’ trouble caused my weight gain.
BM (before Medifast) when it came to eating, I was very self-centered. I ate because I felt happy, I ate because I felt sad, I ate because I wanted to, I ate because I was bored, and I ate because I liked the taste of [...]

Feature - New Year, New You
A line in Frank Sinatra’s song, “My Way” included the phrase, “Regrets? I’ve had a few…” My husband Terry and I decided to live with no regrets. As pastors, we have spent a lot of time with people that have come to the end of their days. Often they share their [...]
Feature - New Years Resolution
I haven’t made any resolutions for years because in the past I always blew mine within the first few weeks. Therefore, I haven’t wanted to set myself up for failure. Now I think I’ve got a handle on some things, thanks to Medifast!
Not all New Year’s resolutions have to do with eating [...]
