The Transparent Hypnotist

There are times when I crave a little cream for my coffee. Sometimes a teaspoon of the cool, white liquid, turning the darkness of my beverage to a lighter brown is the height of decadence. I find this more so with my current goal to lose 20 lbs. I have always been a black coffee drinker, but every now and agin, as you may know, I love to shake it up and change things around. However with my current weight loss, I find it harder to justify the few extra calories provided by creamers (that little bit of cream really can add up in the course of a day). So, I take a deep breath in, look at the note that sits beside my computer that says 130 lbs. and I abstain.

But, I am not so good with abstinence that I will continue on the deep and furious path of phobia hypnosis work that I have been on for a little over a week. I need a break from the dark and heavy (call it taking care of the therapist in me). Today I am focused on my own personal goals and searching for more of the latest trends in weight maintenance and management. 

I have become aware of a web site called Skinny and the City, which combines nutrition and diet with fashion and beauty. I am a sucker for low cal. recipes (especially at the moment) and any advice on which jeans to purchase for my shape. But, I fear I do not do this site justice. It is the sort of site you can imagine Carrie Bradshaw (Candace Bucknell?) appreciating. It has the quaint feel of getting together with you best buds and well, being healthy (maybe still knocking back a martini or two). The site also offers an email service that will send you daily tips (including stuff that is not on the web site). I know, I know, more potential junk mail for the email trash can, but every now and then signing up for such things turns up real gems. I am looking forward to seeing what they have to say (five experts in the field).
