What is My Ideal Weight?

Dear Charlotte,

I am a 33 year old woman who is about 5’5” tall. How much should I weigh for my height?

Maggie M.

Dear Maggie,

There is no ideal or specific weight that you should be for your height. There are standards and measurements, but these do not take into account you—and all that that means.

What really matters is how you feel at the weight you are. Focus on fueling your body with food that makes you feel healthy and contented. Think about whether you are hungry before you eat, and how you feel after you eat. Don’t worry about the scale—the number will be right when you are ready to have a healthy relationship with food.

Eating together...Losing weight together?

Dear Charlotte,

My husband and I are both considered “obese” and have been for some time. We know that part of our problems are that we eat together—so if my husband is hungry, I eat, even if I am not and vice versa. And we have tried every diet from grapefruit to Adkins and nothing has worked. In your coaching program, is it possible to work with two people at once? We believe that in order to be successful, we will have to be on the same program together.

Jennifer and Jack

Dear Jennifer and Jack,

Absolutely you can do the program together. I have worked with many couples. You are able to support and encourage each other and understand. You will both learn that you eat when you are hungry and not when the other person is hungry. There is also a way to pace yourself so that you may enjoy meals together. However there will be times that perhaps you will say to your husband “Jack, I’m just not hungry right now, but I’d love to have a glass of tea and talk to you while you eat”.

Please call me for more information 800.496.7710 or email charlotte@secretsofslimpeople.com. You may visit my website at www.secretsofslimpeople.com. I look forward to hearing from you and being able to help you, as a couple, achieve your weight goals.

Life-long Weight Problems

Dear Charlotte,

My weight has been an issue all of my adult life. I cannot tell you what it is like to feel physical hunger? If this is not something I recognize, how will I know?

George K.

Well George, it is different for everyone. You have to start learning to listen to your own body and see what it is for you. When you are truly hungry, your hunger will scream at you. I can tell you what hunger is not:

--It’s breakfast time – time to eat
--It’s noon, must go eat
--Everyone is eating, must eat
--I’m not going to get to eat for several hours, better eat now
--It’s TV time, let’s eat

Many people eat by the clock or when everybody else is eating. Hunger is a real sensation. It is a real physical sensation. If my clients tell me they don’t know if they are hungry, I tell them they are not. Too often we feed ourselves out of habit, or to fulfill another need. You would not sit there are say “I don’t know if I have to go to the bathroom” would you? If you don’t know what it feels like to be hungry, wait until you do…that will be the time to eat.

My very best wishes George, please don’t hesitate to call me at please contact me at 800 496 7710 or email charlotte@secretsofslimpeople.com. You may visit my website at http://www.secretsofslimpeople.com/
