Beauty and Self Esteem: Beauty Tips

Contrary to what some may think, Audrey did not write this beautiful poem, Sam Levenson did. Levenson wrote "Time Tested Beauty Tips" for his grandchild, and it just so happened to be one of Audrey's favorite poems. She read it to her children on the very last Christmas Eve she spent with us here on Earth.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through
it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk
alone ...
People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed
and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older you will discover that you have two
hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

-Sam Levenson

The Green Mountain Blog
A Weight Lifted A Weight Lifted was created to help all women feel good about being women in a society which seems to value certain body types, sizes and ages above others. Posts may include commentary about what's new in the world of health, fitness, and weight loss, body satisfaction, self-worth, recipes, wry observations, and what we've become known for, debunking “facts” that are really just someone else's idea of what you should be doing. We post five times a week, and have almost 2 years of archived posts available at the blog.

What's a “blog”?? Glad you asked! The word blog is derived from the term “web log.” At it's essence, a blog is a on-line diary or thoughts, opinions, and most importantly, a forum for comments and input by others.

Imagine a place where women feel comfortable/safe sharing their ideas, frustration and successes about dieting and healthy weight loss with other women in search of that one single voice of reason. A Weight Lifted (www.aweightlifted.blogs.com), is specifically designed for women seeking practical insight into their eating and health. A place to find straight-forward information and commentary and getting livable, time-tested solutions to help make healthy weights a permanent reality in their lives.

For 37 years, Green Mountain at Fox Run has developed and refined a life-changing program exclusively for women seeking permanent strategies for healthy weight loss and health. Our participants' long-term weight loss success is among the highest of any program, as documented in peer-reviewed scientific literature.
