My new show: An interview with a woman who has lost 100+ lbs.
Scorpiomoon | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 10:58 pm     Hey guys! I have a new edition of my show "Near-Life Experience" up and ready for anyone who wants to listen to it. I did an interview with a woman named Heather who has lost just over 100lbs. She didn't go on any specific diet. She didn't use drugs or surgery. I hope you like it and maybe find something inspiring while listening to Heather's story. If you want to listen now, just click on this link: http://24.201.147.112:8000/content/show3.pls Or, if you want to listen for a bit and come back to it later, go to my Web site for instructions: http://www.wendywallace.com/nle And, PLEASE, let me know what you think! |
Spygirl | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 12:00 am     Scorpiomoon, I just have to say that you have done a great job with this interview! I am still listening to it right now, but I'm very impressed with the quality of the interview and your interviewing skills. Of course, I do believe in WLS and the wonderful benefits of it (given that I've had RNY), but I do understand it isn't for everyone. And I'm impressed with this woman (Heather) for doing all the research on it and feeling that she needed to give herself a year to see if she could lose weight on her own before having the surgery. WLS is a last resort. What a compelling story Heather has to tell, and I wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Listening to the interview is a little like listening to a diary entry. Heather has an amazing level of self-examination and introspection that will serve her well to continue to lose weight. She's so open and honest. Thank you for sharing this with us.  |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 12:37 am     THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Thank you, Spygirl--not only for listening for offering your comments. I so deeply appreciate it. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:31 am     Just a wee bit of a constructive critique. This is something of which you alone are not guilty, it is rampant amoung the local and network newsfolk; and that is the overuse of the words 'really' and 'actually'. It is so distracting. |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:52 am     I will keep that in mind. I also realize I use a lot of run-on sentences when I speak. I tend to get overly passionate about things and want to express them in a big way. Thank you for reminding me to be more concise. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:58 am     You go girl! Lots of luck and have fun. |
Spygirl | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 09:03 am     One of the toughest things I had to learn when asking questions as a therapist is to keep the questions limited and short in order to get the best possible answers. We all have a tendency to ask the question and then want to explain the question when sometimes it is better to just let the question sit there. I see this with journalists on TV. Take Anne Curry, for example. She used to just do the news and in the last year or so, the Today Show producers have had her start interviewing guests. At first, I would cringe watching her because she couldn't just ask the question and leave it alone. Normally it wouldn't be so noticeable if she hadn't just followed Katie or Matt who are superb at interviewing. But, she has gotten better because interviewing is a skill that has to honed. You are doing a good job, Scorpio, and you'll only get better the more interviews you do! |
Egbok | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:16 pm     Scorpio, I'm listening right now and so far I like what I'm hearing. You ask some intriguing questions and Heather's answers come from her heart. I applaud you on this great interview! I also applaud Heather on her continuing journey and wish her well as she pushes forward. |
Egbok | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:37 pm     Just finished listening to the whole interview and I loved it! Thanks for giving us Heather's website addy. I hope that you are able to interview her a year from now too! Good interview Scorpiomoon!! |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 09:23 am     Spygirl: You are so right! I should watch Anne and see how she is doing--and how she conducts her interviews. Thank you. Egbok: Thank you so much for listening to the whole interview! I so deeply appreciate it and am so thankful. I'm glad you liked it. |
