| Letter from the Editors Welcome! Welcome to the Members Area of Chootoo.com. You have just passed through a special door. And though you have passed through many doors in your life, we believe this may be one of the most important doors you will ever pass through. You are in the right place, in the right room in case you are wondering. Take a seat. Why are you in the right place? Why is this Health Program different from all the many other diets you may have tried? The answer is that we are truly different. First of all, we are not a diet program. We are a health program. What's the difference, you may be wondering? Are those just words intended to differentiate when there really is no difference? We believe there is a fundamental difference. We intend to help you develop ingrained habits of living that will, as a side benefit, help you to reach your ideal weight. But that is not our goal. Our goal is bigger. We not only want you to be skinny, lean but we want you to feel fabulous. Not okay, not alright. Fabulous. But our goal is not just to feel fabulous. We also want you to look fabulous. Not good. Not great. Fabulous. Is that enough? No, not for us. We also want you to live fabulously. Not good. Not great. Fabulously. What's going on here? Who are these people who have set such a high standard for you to reach? When I first started my journey to health 20 years ago, I was 237 pounds, 5 foot 5" tall. I was in a failing marriage. Throughout the time I was married, my then husband cheated, and my weight was used as the excuse for that betrayal. And even though I was and am an intelligent, college-educated outwardly confident woman, I believed him. I began to search myself. I took an inventory of my life. I used to be a fit, energetic, woman with boundless energy. What happened to me? Why had I become, starting in my mid-twenties, this fat, out-of-shape, uninspired and uninspiring blob? Where had that girl I used to be gone? Who or what had killed her? The journey inward to rediscover that girl I was is what ultimately led me to start peeking outside the box of my desk jobs, sneaking time during the night after I returned home from work, to research and to think well into the wee hours of the night. As I worked through my life backwards, I finally saw a patternand that insight changed my life. It changed the way I looked at the life I had created. It changed my understanding of my power to effect change in my life. It brought me fitness, peace of mind, outer and inner joy. Over the next 20 years, I have been living and refining the discovery I made about the principles of Life Change. I call it the Quartraine Principle. Here are the four laws of your life. These 4 laws are immutable are underpin the Quartraine Principle. Why do I call them laws. Well, they are not laws in the sense of man-made laws such as the speeding limit or manslaughter. No, these are greater laws. These are laws, I believe of nature. You can no more break them than you can break the Law of Gravity. First Law You can only give what you have. Often, I see people who are stuck. They're stuck in their jobs, their stuck in their fat, they're stuck in a bad relationship. What I find most strikingly simlar about people who are stuck is that often they are people who don't understand this First Law. They want to find love out there somewhere with that mystical Right One. But they do not understand that the love they seek must first be given to themselves. Once they give that complete love to themselves, once they fill themselves up, then and only then will they have the kind of love they need to give. You can only give what you have. Second Law You cannot live unless you are alive physically and mentally. This means you cannot even begin to understand your potential on this earth unless you lose the fat. Unless you peel away the layers of fat protecting you from yourself, from intimacy with others and with yourself. Third Law Like creates like. Just as money begets money, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, order creates order, chaos creates chaos. Once you create a new body, you will create a life filled with people who support your new creation and you will repel those who truly do not want you to live your new life. Fourth Law Gravity applies to everything but love. Everything, everything you have, you do, you are, will one day leave you. What will never leave you is the love you grow inside yourself. That love stays. It survives, it sustains and it waters your spirit. So, you have passed through the door. You are here with us, your fellow journeyers, in the right room. The universe doesn't make mistakes. It lead you to the right place. What will you get here? Every week, on Friday, we publish a week's menu for you to follow. If you want to call it your Diet, go ahead. But you will get 365 Meals. You will also get one-one-one advice and support. We have an online-chat and resource team. These are not tele-clerks. I am one of the team. And people like me. WE are not trying to be the biggest. We want to be the most meaningful and permanently successful health support team in your life. Of course , it starts with |
