The solution is in the system - and you must design a system to suit YOU!
OK, I am going to confess to you. By the end of the day I am often so tired that I do not even remember to wash my face. Yes, I know all about self-care and how important it is for my skin to clean and moisturize every night. Yet, all my life, this one aspect of self-care has been shaky... until I applied my own slogan to it: "the solution is in the system - and I must design a system to suit ME!"
Previously, I used will power to get myself to wash and moisturize. It would work for a while and then I would fade into my old habits. This time I looked more into myself for a solution. What are MY preferences? What do I need?
The truth is I only remember to wash my face when I am immobile vegging out in front of the TV or after I have collapsed into bed. I needed a way to clean and exfoliate in an easy chair or in bed. Guess what? I found it! Olay Regenerist Micro-Exfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths let me relax, grab a cloth, and enjoy cleaning my face. I have my jar of Olay Night of Olay Firming Cream right there too. In a few enjoyable minutes, while I continue to lounge, I have washed, exfoliated, and moisturized my face. I have not missed a night since I designed this system that really met my needs and abilities!
 No, actually, I did drop the ball once. I ran out of product. I did not blame or shame myself. I simply looked toward my needs and found a system for that too. I began shopping at an online drugstore. I found I could get everything I needed delivered to my door with FREE Shipping!
You get the idea. Whether you are looking at your skin care, healthy eating, fitness, or body image, you need a system that works for you instead of against you. You actually DO have systems in place right now. The question is: Do your systems add to the problems in your life or do your systems add to the solutions in your life? I encourage you to build systems that solve your problems and simplify your life, while increasing your self-care.
When my team and I made the Plus Size Yellow Pages, we gathered resources to help you build systems that solve problems in your life. Order your vitamins, find fitness for plus size people, read books to boost your self-acceptance and self-care, make your home more comfortable, etc.
I have a favor to ask. When you shop online, please start out at www.PlusSizeYellowPages.com (or these eNewsletters) and click on the links there. Sometimes I get a few pennies or few bucks when you click from my site to the web sites where you shop. This helps fund all my work and my contribution to the "Health At Every Size" movement.
Study shows why exercise
boosts brainpower
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Exercise boosts brainpower by building new brain cells in a brain region linked with memory and memory loss, U.S. researchers reported Monday (3/12/07).
... Exercise generated blood flow to the dentate gyrus of the people, and the more fit a person got, the more blood flow the MRI detected, the researchers found...

YEAH!!! It is published!
Kelly Bliss' Plus Size Yellow Pages
is now a paperback book.
Introduction
People use this directory in many ways. If you have access to the Internet, you can flip through the pages and mark the sites you want to visit when next you are online. If you or your loved one do not have access to the Internet, this book can be a goldmine of phone contacts so you can order print catalogues to arrive at your door. Either way, as you peruse the pages of this directory, the world will open up. You and your loved ones can now live large in our small world. There is room for all of us.
I get emails every day telling me that these resources have changed people’s lives. This directory helps people feel like they fit into the world. When people get their needs met, they can take better care of themselves. Here are a few examples of resources that have changed people’s lives.
• Finding bridal gowns that fit has put smiles on countless bride’s faces. They finally found services that catered to their special needs.
• Having sturdy armless chairs has improved the comfort and back health of plus size people. It has also saved them money because these chairs lasted and lasted. After all, they were designed to carry extra weight.
• Finding bracelets, necklaces, belts, and fanny packs that fit plus size bodies has helped people function better in the world and feel better about themselves.
• Enjoying fitness wear, sporting goods, and workouts designed for the unique biomechanics of the plus size exerciser has spelled ‘success’ for the long-term fitness plans of the plus size exerciser.
I am thrilled when I hear stories of lives changing because of the resources gathered here.
There is another important function of the Plus Size Yellow Pages. I think this is perhaps the most important function:
This directory (both online and in print)
and the entire online plus size community
... spreads HOPE.
As I speak at events and appear on television shows, I hold up this fat little book filled with THOUSANDS of resources for plus size people. I see HOPE shining in the eyes of the plus size people in the audience. People are shocked to find out that these resources exist. I see people beginning to feel that they can get what they need to build their best lives.
So many “authorities” simply tell plus size people they should not exist. Here, in the pages of this book, people can find the resources to exist and thrive with self-care and self-acceptance. Plus size people can enjoy their lives now and improve their healthy lifestyles … in the body they have today.
Whether or not someone’s body may change size in the future, if they are plus size today, they deserve to find what they need to take care of themselves now.
My passion in life is encouraging self-care and self-appreciation, for all sizes, especially for plus size. This book is the culmination of decades of work to help improve the resources available to plus size people.
At the time this edition of the directory is published, 67% of Americans are plus size. This means, the MAJORITY of people need access to clothes, personal care, healthy eating and fitness without weight cycling, home furnishing, body image support, and so much more.
If you are plus size, flip through the pages of this book and get what you need to take care of yourself. Immerse yourself in the plus size world and begin to appreciate the aesthetic of your own body. When you feel better about yourself, you have a better chance of continuing your self-care for a lifetime. If you love someone who is plus size, give them this book so they can feel like they belong and find what they need to build their best life!
