Large Weight Gains Most Likely For Men After Divorce, Women After Marriage
Both marriage and divorce can act as "weight shocks," leading
people to add a few extra pounds, especially among those over age 30,
according to a new study presented at the annual meeting of the American
Sociological Association. For men, the risk of a large weight gain increased
most prominently after a divorce; while for women the risk of a large
weight gain was most likely after marriage.

4. FIVE STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU MAKE 2012 YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE EVER
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RD, CSP
Strategy #1: Live In Accordance With the Axiom "If It Is To Be,
It's Up To Me"
Years ago I read a powerful little book titled, Declare Yourself-Discovering
the ME in Relationships. From it I learned that most of us behave in
one of three ways in interpersonal transactions: deferring, demanding,
and defecting. All of these are intended to help us get what we want
in the short term. In the long run, however, they are ineffectual, manipulative,
and self-defeating. The only way to get out of these self-destructive
behavior patterns is to recognize that the most important thing you
can do to become more productive is to take ownership for virtually
everything that is happening in your life. Wait, read that again, because
it is a very important lesson. You see, if you want to be more productive
you have to make it happen! (Recently I was listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer
talk about the word "responsibility." It means: responding
with ability, not responding with disability, otherwise the word would
be "responsdisablity" And the way we respond with ability
is to live in accordance with the axiom: If it is to be… (I know
you are catching on.) So now just go and do it! No more blaming, no
more whining, no more waiting. Just get in the driver's seat of your
own life and let go of everything else. What follows is really just
a derivative of strategy #1!
Strategy #2: Say It Positively
When you speak, you can express yourself negatively or positively. For
example, you can say: "I can't get this project to you until two
weeks from now" or say instead "I'll get this project to you
in two weeks." Both say the same thing. Which do you think is easier
to understand and more effective? According to research conducted at
Johns Hopkins University, positively worded statements are one-third
easier to comprehend than their negative counterparts. Why? Because,
words paint pictures inside of our head. And we always move towards
the pictures we paint. Take advantage of this phenomenon by taking the
extra time it takes to figure out how you can express yourself in positive
terms.
Strategy #3: Recognize That Success Comes in a "Can," Not
In a "Can't"
Most of us have the potential to do just about anything we want to do.
I will go so far as to say that the word can applies to about 90 percent
of the opportunities that you face in life. In other words, it is not
a question of whether you can or can't; the real question is how badly
you want it, and whether you are willing to pay the price. Here is an
example. Wisconsin alumni Albert C. Hanna had a dream-he wanted to climb
Mt. Everest. (Which means he was willing to spend more than $65,000
plus travel and personal expenses to have a one-in-four chance to die.)
No big deal? Actually it is a big deal because Mr. Hanna-are you ready
for this-was 72 years of age at the time of his latest attempt. If he
had reached the top of Mt. Everest he would have been the oldest ever…actually
by a decade…to have climbed the "Seven Summits." And,
by the way, Mr. Hanna is a mortgage banker from Chicago who had not
climbed anything until age 58. (Lest you think it is a pipe dream, this
is his fourth attempt at Mt. Everest. The third time, in May 2000, he
got within 325 feet of the top which was a record for his age. Unfortunately,
his fourth and last try, was not to be either. He did however make it
to 27,000 feet, just 2,000 vertical feet below the summit. Not too bad
for someone just about 72 years of age.) So what is your excuse? I truly
believe that all of us-yes, even you-can do so much more than we ever
give ourselves credit for. Do what you fear-climb your own Mt. Everest,
whatever your Mt. Everest may be-and the death of fear is certain.
Strategy #4: Don't "Try"… Just Do It
The word try provides for built-in failure before you even start. For
example: try to pick up your computer mouse. I bet you can't do it.
Think about it, you either do or don't. Any time you use the word try,
such as, "I'll try to make the meeting on time," I already
know you won't! Because you have told me in advance that you have no
intentions to meet the requirements you have set for yourself. After
all, you did try. Will, on the other hand, demonstrates commitment,
action, and a high probability of success, because most people live
up to their commitments. Avoid the use of the word try unless you want
to fail by design. Better yet, put your commitments in writing, share
them with a coach or mentor and you will increase your probability of
succeeding even more.
Strategy #5: Look for Opportunities In Every Challenge
The Chinese vocabulary is very sensitive to the minute differences in
the words we choose to express ourselves. For example, the Chinese symbol
for crisis consists of two words: danger and opportunity. This illustrates
that words create powerful perceptions that invoke either fear or desire.
Fear causes negative responses in our mind/body, whereas desire generates
powerful forces that will energize us. Words such as problem and failure
immediately paint a negative picture in our mind. They connote something
to be avoided, something that means trouble, headaches, heartburn, and
grief. Challenge and opportunity, on the other hand, express a sense
of competition, excitement, and adventure. They enable our unlimited
creative potential and productive energies and increase your potential
to succeed. So be mindful of the words you choose and select only those
that create desire and you will set yourself up for making 2012 the
most productive ever.

6. HUMOR BREAK
Problems and Challenges-the Elixir of Life
On the way home from an exciting party, a middle aged woman-let's call
her Susan-who had just a bit too much to drink got into a bad accident
that unfortunately took her life. But she certainly does not remember
any of that. What she does remember is waking up on a beautiful meadow
overlooking a breathtaking crystal clear azure lake. (It reminded her
of her visit to Chateau Lake Louise on a trip to Canada many years ago.)
After luxuriating in the breathtaking view and surroundings, she noticed
that she was getting hungry. And just as she had that thought, a handsome
muscular man in a white flowing robe appeared out of nowhere, and said:
"I understand that you are getting hungry. What would you like?
You may have anything your heart desires." Incredulously Susan
asked: "You really mean I can have anything?" The young man
said: "Yes, Susan, you may have anything that you can think of."
Before she knew it, a beautiful table with a white linen table cloth
and napkins had been set, and she was served a 5 star gourmet meal.
Actually, it was more than that. In fact the service was so attentive
and the food so exquisite that she was sure she had "died and gone
to heaven."
However, it did not take very long and Susan started to feel bored.
So she asked for her favorite magazine and the book she had been "dying
to read." (Pun intended.) Before she could finish her request,
she was ushered into a library the likes of which she had never seen.
Over the next couple of months the scenario repeated itself over and
over again. Whenever she got bored and asked for something-a new outfit,
a companion, a computer-it was provided to her
Finally after having her every wish fulfilled and getting really bored
Susan asked for a problem, a challenge, anything to get her creative
juices flowing. The handsome man in the flowing white robe said: "Sorry
Susan, you can have anything you want, except problems. We simply do
not have any problems or challenges. Everything around here is totally
perfect." In exasperation Susan exclaimed: "If you have absolutely
no problems or challenges of any kind, then just send me to hell."
Startled the handsome man replied: "And where may I ask do you
think you have been all along?"
