What Would The Vicar of Dibley Say When Walking to Lose Weight?



What would Geraldine, the wonderful Vicar of Dibley, say to herself as she went walking to lose weight ? The Vicar of Dibley (1994-2007) TV series stars Dawn French as the delightful Geraldine Granger who has very healthy self esteem.

She might say to herself:
“Aren’t I gorgeous? I’ve set a new standard of deliciousness in the community. These feet were made for walking. I am gorgeous! And so’s the rest of the world.”

This character fully embraces who she is with enthusiasm and self love to be admired.

When Geraldine did go for a walk she would use her imagination and her inspiration to see what she was doing as something much more important and bigger than reality might suggest.

I am designating Geraldine, The Vicar of Dibley, as official hero on the Walking to Lose Weight Facebook Page.

Let Geraldine be your inspiration. Not for her body or eating habits that represent everything we at Walking to Lose Weight do not advocate. But for her attitude!

So when you are walking to lose weight take Geraldine with you as your imaginary friend. Imagine the self affirming conversation and gigglefest.


I am so delighted to have remembered the expertise of this character at loving herself. Rose coloured glasses are her forte. These words are presented for laughter as part of the script yet we enjoy her exuberant self confidence (at least I do) rather than see it as self delusion.

Anyone on my free Hints and Tips for Weight Loss subscription list will know how much I endorse this positive self evaluation as a part of the weight loss process.

Having a Wonderful Time Walking to Lose Weight

If you set it up right Walking to Lose Weight is so much fun! If you’re not a fan already go on try it!

How often are the best opportunities the ones staring you right in the face?

Getting older offers one particular blessing-that there is no one ‘found it’ going to do it that way for the rest of my life…Everything changes, yourself included. There is a certain comfort in knowing that ‘well I’ve made that decision’ and not having to think it out again but if you’ve accepted what once was the best decision for you at the time as a forever decision you may benefit enormously from reviewing it. Such as your attitude to exercise or weight loss and in this particular case, Walking to Lose Weight.

I know that Walking to Lose Weight has been hidden from others to a certain extent by most people who do it. There has been good reason for this. Others even with the best intentions often don’t ‘get it’ and this can be discouraging for some. Since it is a regular and time consuming habit it can alter your lifestyle and ways of associating with friends. Over time it can mean making new friends though so look at it as a way of expanding your social or employment network.

Try walking the New York way for instance. This city is well know for walking. It is not an entertainment but a means of getting around. Totally admirable and weight loss oriented.The distance covered can be many city blocks and it is not a stroll! Just a normal part of a normal day. It isn’t hidden at all.

Or use a lunch break to walk to a vendor on the other side of the city. Walk to do your chores such as dry cleaning, etc.

These are skinny people, friends! Learn from them.

It is Easy to Like Walking to Lose Weight!

Do you like Walking to Lose Weight?

I like walking to lose weight in retrospect because of how easy it is to start being successful. Then that initial success is more easily built on and reaching for advanced goals is a natural process.

What do I mean?

Walking to Lose Weight maintains a relaxed yet successful attitude to exercise and caring for your own well being. Governments, those in or associated with, public office and other organisations around the world, here in Australia and also in the USA especially over recent years, have implemented programming promoting walking.

Our societies have been dominated by transportation issues and not as friendly to walkers and runners.

Now it is more supported and enjoyable to start and advance a walking for weight loss program. This is not for weight loss alone as the advantages of exercise and walking in particular is the fitness and well being that this simple process brings. It helps prepare us for taking on more activity as we age rather than less.

Walking and weight loss are now out front, high profile rather than hidden. It has become obvious to me as I move around that many people are active on purpose. This often includes walking. It is a stand by for those times when a pick up is needed whether in mood, clarity of mind, or weigh loss.

Being active on purpose is more about enabling ourselves to continue to be an active, involved, participant in our lives.

Walking to Lose Weight has become Being Active On Purpose.

Would you like to be active on purpose?

Free Walking to Lose Weight! Make It Seen!

Hello to walkers everywhere!


Walking to Lose Weight has become a lifestyle choice for many women in recent times. I know that men do it as well, but often as a part of their journey elsewhere. On the way to running for instance or because the doctor said so.

I find it wonderful that there is a silent revolution happening within our everyday lives that is the easy sure way to add fitness and weight control to our lifestyles. It doesn’t matter why I am walking anymore walking has become a part of my life that I like to keep doing because it enhances it!

In this Walking to Lose Weight post what I want to talk about today is walking as a part of most people’s way of caring for themselves in body and mind. I find that when I mention walking for weight loss in conversation to others I’ve just met, so often they say the same thing: I walk too!

There are so many different ways to be walking for weight loss that walkers do not necessarily run into each other!

It appeals to so many people and even those who have moved on from weight loss as motivation still commit to walking as an addition to their lifestyle.

Walking as a lifestyle habit is one of the best you can have. It enables peace of mind and clarity of thinking. Take a look at this video of Will Smith. He talks about running as a key to a successful  life. Substitute walking and the same applies. We’re not all going to be Will.

Running is the key:Will Smith

While Walking to Lose Weight Meditate

Recently events have brought to my attention that many of you don’t understand this walking to lose weight lifestyle the way I do. The  new lifestyle walker finds the time to do it for the many benefits walking provides.

While walking to lose weight I do a lot of  mental reviews. It is a great way to practice law of attraction.

Appreciation:

As an example the act of appreciation is tantamount to inviting things you appreciate into your life. These may be replicas of what you identify as appreciating or something that will lead you to feel a similar appreciation. Set out walking with the goal of appreciating as much as possible.

Meditation:

Highly Recommended! Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and User Guide

For those whose lives have been limited by illness, depression or other restrictive issues, and overweight or regaining fitness is the aim of your walking to lose weight program, exercise induced deep breathing is a life changer. There are physiological benefits to deep breathing and everyone knows that at some level when exercising you are breathing quicker. This is a good thing! Improved lung capacity, blood circulation, energising high…For those able to at least walk, regular, especially daily, deep breathing whether through exercise exertion or meditation is a great boost to your living skills. Walking the right way can do this! What an advantage-lose weight, get fitter, improve your  mood, and meditate all in one!

For those who are walking for weight loss or fitness yet still have extraordinarily interactive lives, perhaps what could be called an extraverted life, then daily meditation is a must. The first lot of people above often lack social interaction and walking acts as a means of getting out of themselves. The other group are often surrounded by others and if walking to lose weight may find it welcome personal time. If exercise without others around you is a turn off and meditation seems boring then you may be relying on stimulation from external causes and you would definitely benefit from a more traditional meditation approach.

This should also provide the deep breathing benefit although if you are obtaining that daily from your exercise it is less necessary through meditation. Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and User Guide is my all time favourite meditation that I use daily. I am a big fan personally and from the results when others follow this recommendation. This is Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and User Guide.

Walking, exercise, meditation all can provide the wonderful advantages I find from regularly breathing hard!
