We are gearing up for the 1st Annual Tassos Toga party about 7:00 tonight (with about 400 other local Kansas City acquaintances and a top notch band called the Zeroes!) This outdoor event is being held under white tents, with swanky couches covered in white sheets and trimmed in gold, which will be the perfect accompaniment to a 70 degree evening.
Interestingly enough, is that we have found in talking to (both men and women alike) they are more conscious about their weight/appearance in a toga than the event itself. Of course this is a subject we know all to well, and one we hold near and dear to our hearts because that is the kind of talk we live around everyday. So, what we gently remind ourselves daily to grasp is that the food on the plate lasts 10 minutes, but the feeling and the state of your body lingers for a long time. Food is just a portion of what makes up a healthy body, the mind and its unlimited power has to be changed first in order to successfully lose weight. People focus so often on the stuff they don't want like the fact that they are overweight, or in need of daily exercise, etc, which only expands the current negative feelings, and when the opposite occurs of just "letting go", the wind is behind your back guiding you right into that goal or desire you have been wanting so badly. The solution to all desires that aren't showing up, is to just let go. Find relief wherever you currently are so you can move on. There is no other way. While you're at it choose clean, fresh eating (most of the time) and the rewards are endless, even when it comes to wearing a toga!
