And I am an emotional eater. So I bought a Learn French Program, Rosetta Stone, and I do a French lesson when I need a bit of distraction. \u00a0No more checking Social Media obsessively. The French lessons are divided into bite-sized pieces, games, and word matching. It&#8217;s a more productive way to spend time.<\/p>\n<p>Although I&#8217;ve always wanted to learn French, that&#8217;s not really the point. I want to emulate the svelte stylish French women I see in Paris (a cousin is one of them). \u00a0I do the lessons mostly to remind myself daily of the best self I aspire to be. It makes me happy instead of depressed. I am not emotionally eating and I am losing weight.<\/p>\n<p>You might want to try it&#8211; not the French lessons&#8211; but something that reminds you to be your best self. \u00a0It might be daily, prayer, meditation, sketching, a craft, or a walk in the park. Incrementally, bit by bit you can become the best version of who you are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#MondayMusings &#8211; Learning French to Lose Weight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114,47],"tags":[25,26,27,28,30,31,32,33,115,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42],"class_list":["post-10389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-monday-musings","category-random-thoughts-pop-culture-political-movie-television-blog","tag-character","tag-characters","tag-emotional-toolbox","tag-etb","tag-film","tag-films","tag-laurie-hutzler","tag-movies","tag-musings","tag-nine-character-types","tag-screenplay","tag-screenplays","tag-screenwriting","tag-script","tag-scripts","tag-scriptwriting","tag-tv","tag-writing"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",600,600,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",600,600,false],"large":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",600,600,false],"ttshowcase_normal":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",125,125,false],"ttshowcase_small":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",75,75,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",600,600,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",600,600,false],"Image Size 500x500":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",500,500,false],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags-300x400.jpg",300,400,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",600,600,false],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/french-flags.jpg",100,100,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Laurie Hutzler","author_link":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/author\/admin\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"#MondayMusings - Learning French to Lose Weight","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10389"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
