After I wrote my original comment it occurred to me that this might simply be the Universe's way of getting me to expand myself into a world I only *think* I dislike & that I'll actually discover I quite enjoy videos & podcasts! Maybe all I need is the right incentive :-) Susannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-80329357373125158292019-02-23T10:05:51.302+13:002019-02-23T10:05:51.302+13:00Hi Isabel, I will certainly write sometimes but lo...Hi Isabel, I will certainly write sometimes but love doing videos too! With videos you can turn on the captions if you are in a place that you can't have the sound up if that helps.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-38440719772380185792019-02-23T10:04:53.765+13:002019-02-23T10:04:53.765+13:00Hi Susanne!

It would take me too long to do them myself and I have not found a suitable transcription service that wouldn't cost a fortune. The few I have tried do not pick up on my accent well!<br /><br />I will mix in videos and written posts :) I love doing both!Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-57028509202202819912019-02-16T09:41:21.464+13:002019-02-16T09:41:21.464+13:00Hello Fiona.

Being an Australian surounded by lovely kiwis in my life listening to your podcast is actually quite special. The podcasts up to now i have found on topics that interest me are from the US so hearing you speak somehow makes your message seem more applicable to my life. Love the outside videos too and your beautiful little chloe. Theres a book i read last year called finding gobi about a little rescue dog who looks like your Chloe. Little Gobi now has his own intagram if you want to look. Its called finding gobi from memory. Anyway, thanks again and im looking forward to reading some of your books at some point.

We often are invited to friends' homes, not necessarily for meals but for "drinks" which are always accompanied by "appies" - crackers, chips, baked dips, cheese, sausage - all my favorite and least easily resisted foods. I feel like I took a deep breath and breathed in your chic suggestions. I love the idea of being chic enough to not over-nibble "nibbles". rather than (figuratively) slapping at my wrists through the whole event. Also, I just received your "30 Slim Days" and was astonished to see that your whole premise is "mindset". For a few years now I've followed the writings and teachings of a leading neuroscientist, whose research shows that when you change your mind, you change your life. She teaches, exactly like you.... think, feel and then choose. Create your thought, think about it consistently enough to attach a positive emotion to it and then it becomes who you are. I'm not sure how you came to promote a cutting edge scientific principle, but I love, love, love the truth of what you're saying. Thank you!! I'm a huge fan. xo Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205728751227729951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-38032070284871084772019-02-15T08:29:57.415+13:002019-02-15T08:29:57.415+13:00Hi Fiona love your blog and have most of your blog...Hi Fiona love your blog and have most of your blogs. However just a little plea. Could you also write on the blog like you used to please? I love reading and rereading and not always somewhere that I can have sound on. Thanks for your inspiring words. <br /><br />Isabel xIsabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298730474588250372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-74997452524817345072019-02-14T09:27:16.887+13:002019-02-14T09:27:16.887+13:00Good morning, Fiona!

I loath videos & podcasts & rarely watch/listen to them (yours might be an exception if I can get the video to work on my computer, which it doesn't seem to want to do). Quite frankly, I have enough noise & chatter going on around me in real life; I like just being able to sit quietly & read something, tea in hand, & give my ears a rest :-) Plus, I absorb information much better by reading than listening & I like the luxury of re-reading sentences or paragraphs that capture my attention which, when on a video, just shoot past & are forgotten by the end. <br /><br />Sorry for coming into your comment section to complain -- not very chic at all! Love your blog, & I swear your books are getting better & better -- I'm building up quite a little library section of Ferris titles!Susannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-12236222136035628042019-02-13T10:12:02.685+13:002019-02-13T10:12:02.685+13:00I really enjoyed the video.

That doesn't mean you can't have the occasional treat, but a no-holds-barred cheat day doesn't work for me either. Having it turn into a "cheat two years" is unfortunately something I can relate to. :(<br /><br />BTW, I love "Thirty Slim Days." I've read my original copy three times and taken notes too.

I remember an alarm came on my phone and I swiped it away - maybe my video paused then and I didn't realise.

I did enjoy what I saw until then, though. I also just downloaded the kindle version of your new blog book; thanks for doing that - I love reading this sort of thing on the bus; takes me away from the reality of public transit ;-) Cheers!
