Suddenly Willing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2019
- Last month, a series of events cracked me open like never before. A radical perspective shift resulted, making me suddenly willing to surrender to exactly what I needed. On the 5th anniversary of Bright Line Eating, I talk about how the movement has evolved and the critical role of perspective, willingness, and self-care. Watch to find out what I have to say (from a special surprise location!).

YES!!! I've been a right sized body for three and half years now. The future is Bright...
Oh my goodness...thats a lot of stress; so much going on...even the teddy bear passed out. ;-) You look beautiful, and refreshed!
😝
Oh, to have your dad still on this earth, welcoming you, loving you...THAT is the blessing in all of this. Period.
💙
I enjoy watching your VLOG's because of your genuine nature and valuable insights. I LOVE your enthusiasm in this video in particular. I loved the audio of the first Bright Line Eating book. I am so glad you are doing another book and that you are talking on the audio version. It makes a huge difference for the listeners because they get more depth from the words when the author speaks :) Rock on!!
Yes! The Cookbook will be out in October! Just around the bend! 😊
Susan thank for your vulnerability and transparency! I struggle and with the blog and book, at 75 yrs for the first time on BLE for 2 mo.I'm down 18#. My friends children & boyfriend are so supporting me. The pleasure this has given me such confidence and hope. Without your work and perseverance this amazing transformation in my life would not be possible. Thank you... From the bottom of my heart. Thank you👁️
💝
Susan I’m glad you are taking care.
October will my 4 year anniversary and I have been in a right size body since April 2016.
Wow! Good for you, Katherine! 💖
Wish I knew about the Bright Line Eating back in Aug 5th, 2014. Didn’t find you until October 2015. So happy I did. My life has changed dramatically since that day in October 2015. Been maintaining my weight loss since April 2016. Not looking back; just moving forward and growing in ways I never could have imagined. Thank you Susan!!🙏🧡🧡🧡
So glad you found us! 💛
My 3 year Bright Line anniversary is coming up on September 20 of this year!!! I am sooo grateful for the way my life has changed as a result. 90 pounds released and I've stayed around the same weight for the last two years. Happy Birthday, Bright Line Eating!!! :-D
Thank you for being so honest. It sets a standard that we can all just be as we are. No shame. Just put all the stress on the line and show your humanity. That's what you did. Thank you for acting in your own best interests and taking a break from "It all".
Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment, Valerie! 💚
Yes! Here for you Susan, celebrating with you and absolutely willing to take on the next five🧡🌟🧡🌟🧡
Dear Susan, I have been on BLE since January 7th and am at the 10 yard line and know I will make it and keep it! This vlog is indicative of your light and hope and beauty that you share with the world. In our human experience we continually learn, we get tired, we get up and keep going. We have stressful days and joyful days and often in the same hour. This is what we hold and your gift has been to help us take better care of our vessel so we can navigate our lives with more grace and ease. Thank you for your generosity. You are a wonderful inspiration.
You're so very welcome, and congratulations, Christie!!! xoxo

Happy Birthday BLE!!! I wish I had heard of it sooner -- yet I know I came to it when it was the right time for me. I'm so grateful to you, SPT. For the program, for your candor, for your caring. For all of it. Whenever you see a negative comment, you can say to yourself, "That comment is poison to me. That comment is about them, not I." And that is true. Keep on keeping on. Keep on being you. Keep on influencing us. We need you.
Thank you for your beautiful sentiments and words of encouragement.
I've been in this loving community for 2 years on October 1st. I plan to be here for the next 5 years and beyond, one day, one meal, one delicious bite at a time. As always, I learn so much from you. Thank you, Susan, for taking time for yourself. Love you!
Lovely!! Thank you! xoxo
I will celebrate 3 years of maintenance on August 21st! Been on the ship since Feb. 2016. Glad to be here and grateful to have this group and a healthy, right sized body!
Boom!
To say that you've made a difference in my life would be a significant understatement. I've been taking the slow route to shedding the extra weight because big changes freak me out a bit. :) I'm officially down 100+ pounds from where I used to be and I'm living happy, thin-ish (20 pounds to go), and free. I'm working on adding "toned" into the mix now. :D
I'm so grateful for your statement about people not being willing because they had locked themselves into a box. I have spent so much mental energy and time, trying to understand why people in my life weren't willing to try BLE for 2 weeks...now it makes sense!! I've locked myself into a box so many times in my life...I can feel compassion for where they are at.
Way to go, Sarah!!!!
Susan, I have been in my “Right Size Body” since February 15, 2016 because of Bright Line Eating! Thank you for creating BLE! Much Love to you and I will be here in 5 years too! 💞
Congrats Valerie! 💙
Good for you! You are fine. You got this. Happy you made room for the next steps. Just trust yourself and those you trust❤️
So Susan, I am so impressed by you. As women it seems that we are more weary of not taking the leap into the “unknowingness” of entrepreneurship but YOU DID IT! This vlog is all about surrender from things for which we have no control. So glad you took time for yourself. Peace.
Hi Everyone--> I have been in a 'right-sized body" x 2.5 years now....and it is amazing. This way of eating really works. No magic, just eating the right amount of real food...really. It has changed my life so much.
I am 6 months into a health coaching class with Chris Kresser --> Adapt Health Coaching and hope to make a real difference in people's lives too. THANK YOU so much Susan. You have changed my world. You made a difference to THIS STARFISH....if you know the starfish story.....this will mean something to you. You can do it too. You can. I did. I am so so grateful.
I love that quote of the Man in the Arena.
Thank you for your openness and willingness to be transparent. Your program is life changing Susan.
I have been doing BLE for only 8 weeks 2 on the 14 day challenge and the boot camp for 5 .. I am not an addictive eater and my susceptibility score is only 4 but my life has been better because of you . I am a psychotherapist in Rochester and have used so many things in my therapy sessions .. This week I needed to hear this because my sister had a kidney transplant at Strong Hospital and my daughter was the donor .. I believe this program is keeping me sane .. I really respect and admire you personally , professionally as a Mom and as a woman . You keep this up Susan and keep doing exactly what you are doing remembering to rest and take time for you . Oh and I’m down 12 lbs and have about 15 more to go and I WILL be doing this ... I love your candor and I love this 5 year plan... it is amazing when we work hard , believe , dream, and always look forward .. and Look UP to the heavens for the miracle that is life . 💗thank you Susan
Thinking of you, your daughter, and your sister Vickijo. Sending love and healing vibes your way. 💖
Best vlog ever
I’m so glad you started BLE. Thank you! and bravo for taking the much needed time!
You inspire me! This vlog was “for me” today. ‘Suddenly Willing’ will be my reminder to PAUSE and see what’s real, what’s actually a must do (nowhere near what I think in the busy of each day), and what I actually need to be well for me (therefore for others).
And huge congratulations on your 5-year anniversary and surpassing so much of what you envisioned for Bright Line Eating! You and your message matter.
Wow Susan. just ...wow. I don't even watch the vlogs weekly..(mostly because I hadn' hit the notifications bell teehee NOW i won't miss them! :^)! )...I project so much of myself on to whom I perceive you to be, just in terms of the journey with OA. .I am a GreySheet person from...OA 1974...when GreySheet was all that was offered! That was in my early 20ies..so you were JUST coming on to the planet!
I purchased the Boot Camp..in..2016 or 2017..but i "couldn't do it!" BUT I also knew that I WOULD be able to do it..make the 3% choice..when it felt ... I don't know..Like I could handle it. What I did do was go plant-based..and took out sugar and flour..amd most recently dairy AND i know now I don't have to do it perfectly!!
I got to you from comments on Ari Whitten posts..and from you, I have recently just watched your interview with Jon on iThrive.com..I KNEW when I found you that you had my answers....I mean..that your answers and efforts were huge and far rangeing, and to a great extent answers and actions that were/are mine for the taking; and that your work and life passion is what I needed way back then... but couldnt find.
See..I KNEW I had the answer in 1974..but I couldn't fight the culture I lived in; I didn't understand or sense the process of DNA and the lizard brain addiction reaction..and just this week..watching Diabetes and Obesity info with iThrive.com? I have even more understanding of WHY...why we have this huge huge problem worldwide.
So OK! Thank you Thank you Thank you for the work and sharing you do AND?? I just wanted to say, also that I knew SOMEthing was up when you chose to not vlog last week? and you seem much deeper and calmer and even MORE connected to your True Self. YOU make me SMILE my dear!! I am SO happy you are here on the planet! you go girl!!
Best wishes in finding your way. No words. ☮️
Although I missed having a new vlog last week, I was happy to know you were taking care of yourself. I’m still on weight loss. I started October 12, 2018. I’ve shed 62 pounds so far! Losing weight while still taking Gabapentin is miraculous. Thank you for your vision. Here’s to the next five years! 💕
Amen !
Happy Birthday to Bright Line Eating! Susan, I was lying in bed realizing I didn't comment on this vlog and thinking that I really didn't want to go to sleep without saying that wherever you are in the world I want to send you a big hug and tell you that I am overjoyed that you are getting some time with your dad and time to regroup after a very busy reunion and all the stuff going on since then. I hope the next months go more smoothly. Sending you so much love.
Thank you thank you thank you, Laurie! 💜
@@Brightlineeating Huge, huge hug.
I was listening in the car to this episode after having listened to your latest one - Indiscriminate vs. Nuanced . Then I watched the last half after arriving home. You have a teddy bear!!!!!! That connected with me in the most delightful way. Thanks!!!!
So true…..We all need to unplug. thank you again for this video and being so genuine. 💕
Thank you so much for your vulnerability. I am suddenly willing too. Much Love 💜
I mean this in the nicest way,you made laugh , I love you you changed my life. I have been with you since So
Thank you so much for BLE! And yes, I CHOOSE to do BLE every day because I choose to be happy, thin, and free.. and because I choose life.
That was beautiful Susan. So well said, and straight from the heart. Just as you say, anything can be normal if you decide to make it so! And deadlines are only figures pulled from the air and certainly changeable. Happy Bright Line Birthday Susan. I think it is a wonderful thing you are doing. You've inspired me to write a 5 year vision too, I might try to convince hubby to contribute as he seems lacking in vision so it might be a cool practice for us to do together to imagine what we could achieve in 5 years and see how far we get!
I found BLE was good for me to learn and I have certainly kept some of the ideas (weighing meat portions, avoiding processed sugar and flour, and sticking to 3 meals a day!) as I evolve my own plan for what is right for me. I've been working on my emotional issues and working on trusting myself, redirecting myself, loving myself, and forgiving myself which has been huge! I am finding I am increasing my will-power with good sleep, exercise, meditation and journaling each night (I start my diary with "today was successful because:" and I end it with "I forgive myself, I trust myself, I love myself, goodnight beautiful" I believe it is making a big difference :) Also learning what food triggers me to become irritable or which I react to other ways. Good on you for taking some creating time out to rest, recuperate and meditate on life and future. Sending love and support to you too. Thank you again for all you do. Keep up the journey :)
💝
I am inspired to borrow your evening journaling, Thank You. Lovely post : )
I love this vlog because it shows that you're human! Of course anyone following you for any amount of time already knows this but I just really appreciate your vulnerability here.
I love watching your VLOG's!!! I love you and grateful I found you in the last couple of weeks. See you on the inside!!
Susan, you are and have been an inspiration all along my journey. Thank you!
What a lovely comment! Thank you! xoxo
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! i love you too! SOL!( smiling out loud!)
😉
Thank you, great video!
Yes this movement is huge. Way to go. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this xxxxxx
We will keep doing this thing! I love you too!
💓
I just want to say that your dad sounds amazing. He sees that his little girl is in distress and he opens up his arms and says, “Here’s a safe refuge.” It doesn’t matter that his little girl is in her forties with a successful career and a family of her own.
He's an amazing man. Thank you, Robbie! ❤️
And the bottom line is, don't box youself in. Stay open and positive 😊
Boom!
I am so scared to start BLE. I wish I could just say, what the heck let’s give it a go for a few weeks; I have nothing to lose. But I just can’t take one more failure. I can’t. All of the diets say it will change your life and if never does. And all of the programs want money so I don’t know who to trust. I’m overwhelmed by all of the conflicting theories and studies and options. I found the book by searching food addiction when I tried a new diet program I really liked but had one cheat “in moderation” and could not stop. I feel frozen and trapped. Maybe that’s my box that I need help out of, but there it is.
Oh, Duska. You're not alone friend. I understand the feeling of not being able to even make one. more. attempt. Honestly, so many of us have been there.
If you haven't read Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin, and Free, check it out from the library. Don't spend a penny. The whole program is in the book.
We have a new free community opening soon--in just a few weeks. Keep your eyes open...I'll share the news in an upcoming vlog.
Again, you're not alone. There's no rush. One day at a time. xoxo
@Coaching With Kelly Beautiful, Kelly. I love it! #Truth
No. We don’t have to be here listening to your vlogs each week. But we choose to, out of respect for you and what you have brought us, and out of a desire to glean from your earned wisdom and experience. Don’t ever lose sight of your need to care for yourself. Clearing your calendar and getting away to a safe and quiet place to recharge was an act of courage. I have no doubt you returned home to your family a happier, more peaceful wife and mom. Though it may seem trite, I mean this deeply and sincerely . . . You do you, Boo. Just like giving ourselves permission to eat what sustains us rather than what robs us of life and health and peace, we have to give ourselves permission to take a time-out when it’s needed. I am a newly 60-year old woman who is nearly 70 pounds lighter than I was before I was introduced to you and BLE by way of your vlogs and book, and subsequently the 14DC and most recently the Boot Camp. I am continuing on because that’s what is good for me! And you know what? One day I am even working for you. How’s that for a declaration? I wish you love, Susan. I consider you the friend and sister I have yet to meet.💖
Love that! Make sure you're on the mailing list so you'll get emails about job openings!!! ;)
I signed up August 2014 from your first posting.
Dreams DO come true!
Yes they do!
Thanks for sharing. I would really love it if you would introduce the vlogs as if they weren't a chore. Thanks for everything you've done to help people overcome obesity.
Hi there! Susan has actually talked about the vlog opening a couple of times in previous vlogs! She's given it a lot of thought! 💖
Have you heard of icupi? It's a very cool portable scale. Made me think of you when I saw it.
Hadn't seen that before. That's an interesting gadget.
Let's keep doing this thing! I love you, too

Hello Susan, long time no talk. What is the source of the "63% of being are dying prematurely from the food they are eating?" Such a study sounds unethical for those in the control group.
