The Happy, Healthy Dreamers & Doers in the City!
This group is an offshoot of my earlier group, Happy, Healthy Diners, Dreamers & Doers in the City, which was shut down by mistake.
As mentioned earlier, the previous meetup was shut down by mistake. I would like to especially thank Meetup for being generous and helpful after the first group was inadvertently closed. In particular, I’d like to express my gratitude to community manager Antonio Ortiz for his assistance in starting the new group.
This is a week of exciting new programs.

Delay to Conquer Sugar Cravings: Kicking Sweets & Culprit Carbs Can Be Easy

/

Whenever people meet me, join one of my Break Free programs or my free, online KickSugar support group, they almost immediately wail, “Can I really kick sugar? This is so hard!”
I feel such empathy, compassion and sadness, because I’ve been there myself! Often, I was wracked with disappointment and frustrating that I couldn’t kick my twisted, unhealthy sugar relationship.
Back in 1998, when a doctor ordered to quit sweets and refined carbs, I pulled myself together and successfully licked sugar once and for all.
In my book SUGAR SHOCK!, I share my Top 21 Sweet Sugar-Free Success Secrets and Strategies (plus a few more).
But I also have a few favorite tactics that I like share. Here’s a piece I wrote just for you to help you learn this invaluable technique.
Just Delay to Squash Your Sugar Cravings
Creatively Procrastinate Your Way Out of Your Sugar Addiction
By Connie Bennett, M.S.J., C.H.H.C.
Quite often, people who want to lose weight and kick sugar ask me: “How can I curb my sugar cravings? Once I start, I just can’t help myself.”
One of the most powerful and potent strategies is so simple that you’ll wonder why you never tried it in the first place. Simply DELAY before doing anything – especially something that you’ll later regret.
After all, won’t you feel wiped out, spaced out, moody or depressed after you mindlessly shove those fast-acting, much-like-sugar carbs™ in your mouth?
Think about it: Most of us are pretty darn good at delaying or procrastinating, right?
You know how you keep putting off organizing your desk drawers, cleaning the house, giving your boss that proposal, or throwing out the garbage? Clearly, we all have things we’ve been planning on doing but never
For my part, while I’m certainly not proud of the fact that at times, I don’t do things I’ve planned, I’ve found that turning delaying into an art or skill is a fun, clever way to give procrastination a positive spin!
I hit upon this incredible strategy back in 1998 when I reluctantly kicked sweets and refined carbs on doctor’s orders. To this day, I continue to be amazed at how easy, effortless, and darn effective it is to just delay.
That’s right — just delay away your sugar cravings.

My Author Friend & I Are Going Zany During Book Expo America This Week

/

For this important week in publishing — during which Book Expo America takes place — my fun author friend Dr. Diana Kirschner and I are going out on a limb to drum up interest in our books. Here’s a press release that’s now going out to the media today.
Authors Develop Zany, Outrageous Marketing Gimmicks to Nab Publishers & Fans in these Challenging Economic Times
NEW YORK—As thousands of authors vie for publishers’ and readers’ thumbs up in this uncertain economic climate, some innovative, pro-active authors are taking matters into their own hands by coming up with over-the-top, outrageous, humorous marketing gimmicks.
“It’s time to become an out-of-the-box-thinking author-preneur, who creates gutsy, captivating messages that nab the attention and tickle the funny bones of readers and publishers,” claims author Connie Bennett, who is laughingly walking around Book Expo America on Friday and Saturday sporting a provocative, 24”-by-30” sandwich board that says, “Are You ‘The One’?”
The amiable author’s “Are You `The One’?” message—which looks like a single’s ad—pokes fun of the fact that Bennett is both a single woman and an available author with a Big Platform, who’s seeking “a committed relationship” with a “compatible publisher” to release her second book.
“I wanted to playfully show that I have the guts, initiative and ingenuity to be a successful author no matter what the economic climate,” adds Bennett, an experienced journalist, certified health counselor, self-described “Ex-Sugar Shrew!” and author of SUGAR SHOCK! (Berkley Books) (www.SugarShock.com).
