false <![CDATA[The Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-Size]]> 189291 2 From the bestselling author of The Artist's Way, a revolutionary diet plan: Use art to take off the pounds! Over the course of the past twenty-five years, Julia Cameron has taught thousands of artists and aspiring artists how to unblock wellsprings of creativity. And time and again she has noticed an interesting thing: Often, in uncovering their creative selves her students also undergo a surprising physical transformation-invigorated by their work, they slim down. In The Writing Diet, Cameron illuminates the relationship between creativity and eating to reveal a crucial equation: creativity can block overeating. This inspiring weight-loss program, which can be used in conjunction with Cameron's groundbreaking book on the creative process, The Artist's Way, directs readers to count words instead of calories, to substitute their writing's "food for thought" for actual food. Using journaling to examine their relationship with food-and to ward off unhealthy overeating -readers will learn to treat food cravings as invitations to evaluate what they are truly craving in their emotional lives. The Writing Diet presents a brilliant plan for using one of the soul's deepest and most abiding appetites-the desire to be creative-to lose weight and keep it off forever. I'm a creativity expert, not a diet expert. So why am I writing a book about weight loss? Because I have accidentally stumbled upon a weight-loss secret that works. For twenty-five years I've taught creative unblocking, a twelve-week process based on my book The Artist's Way. From the front of the classroom I've seen lives transformed-and, to my astonishment, bodies transformed as well. It took me a while to recognize what was going on, but sure enough, students who began the course on the plump side ended up visibly leaner and more fit. What's going on here? I asked myself. Was it my imagination, or was there truly a "before" and an "after"? There was! -from The Writing Diet 182990 27 12 2007 The Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-Size total:99|5:20|4:26|3:38|2:12|1:3| 99 345 243 35 4 0 false false Sat May 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 24 06:31:07 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 06:34:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 09:45:44 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 09:52:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jan 30 11:20:55 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 11:20:55 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 17:43:43 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 17:47:00 -0800 2009
