Diablog: Christopher Lowell & Laura McBride


Hi Everybody,

I’m delighted to announce my association with eDiets. You know for years, the Christopher Lowell brand has stood for empowerment, positive change and the discovery of ones personal creativity. My goal from the beginning was to help others harness the often-elusive thing called “creativity.” By using the home as the incubator to implement simple ideas, these seemingly small changes could then lead to greater self-esteem and positive growth.

Over the last decade, we have indeed helped millions of Americans find their personal style and in so doing, find a greater sense of accomplishment and well-being.

I was first introduced to eDiets through a personal friend who’d worked with us on other projects. When Gail first approached me I was not sure that I could truly contribute having never really had severe weight issues myself. But then I thought of my sister Laura who had been on a rollercoaster with her weight issues for many, many years.

Laura’s struggle with her weight and the low self-esteem that often accompanies it was, in fact very real to me. It was something I lived with on a weekly basis to the extent that we’d often joke that I was on my sister’s diet of the month too.

My heart would ache for this incredibly gifted person who had put everyone’s well-being ahead of hers all her life. I feared that it was not only plummeting her self-esteem, but could very well be putting her health at risk.

And then it hit me. Maybe eDiets had been put in my path to help Laura. Perhaps it could succeed where no other diet had. So I returned back to eDiets for a closer look this time with Laura in mind.

You see, Laura and I are about as close as a brother and sister can be. For the past decade, she has been running our information center, communicating with many of our readers, viewers and online friends about all things “Christopher Lowell” on a nationwide basis. When I travel across the country I can’t tell you how profound her impact has been on so many who have told me that getting a letter, e-mail or phone call from her was the next best thing to speaking to directly to me.

So, without telling her why, I asked Laura to travel from her home in Florida to LA to spend a long weekend with me.

It was here in Southern California and in person where I planned to ask her to consider eDiets. I asked her if she would be willing to make the commitment to the program and would she be willing to use her unique voice and considerable writing talents to blog about her experience for you?

After considerable soul searching and many hours of deeply personal conversation about the concept, Laura finally agreed. And since she actually lived only hours from eDiets headquarters, she’d be able to give other eDiet members an in-depth view of the company, the facilitators and the program from the inside.

On her first visit, it was love at first sight between her and the eDiets folks and it was from that moment on that she would account her honest opinions and progress through the blogs you’re about to read.

I hope through her journey and her association with me, that you’ll come to look forward to her honest, touching, and often humorous but deeply personal account of the process and her progress.

It is also my hope that through her, you will become part of the Christopher Lowell family too. While you face your personal issues with weight loss, we hope you’ll also take advantage of the emotional support we can offer too. At http://christopherlowell.com/, you’ll have the opportunity to join others who have used our powerful, self-esteem raising message and practical education to begin living a positive and productive life now versus waiting until you’re down to you’re desired weight, because it all works together.

You’d be surprised at how even the simple act of rearranging your furniture or making a set of new drapes can begin initializing small changes that lead to bigger ones. As you allow us to help you get in touch with your inherent personal creativity, it will propel you forward to begin redefining your new life.

The idea is to use your home to help shift your focus away from food to re-engaging your natural sense of curiosity, your innate spirit of hope and your genuine desire to begin making real and positive change.

Our goal has always been to emotionally partner with you to understand that it’s only our fears that prevent us from moving ahead with optimism, faith and courage. Together we can begin the transformation process from the old resigned life you thought you were stuck with to one filled with new personal joy as we simultaneously help you make your home a true reflection of that ‘new’ you.

Together we can do it!
