DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT?

SO you want to LOSE WEIGHT...

Let me guess......
You've tried every diet out there?  You've tried and you just gain the weight back.  You're starting to think that your built that way?  You were born that way?  You're getting older and you figure that everyone gets fat and unhealthy as they get older?  You are too busy?  You don't deserve it?  

Well, YOU DO!  Everyone deserves to LOOK good and FEEL great!  Yes, EVEN YOU!  So, you're thinking, 

"HOW DO I DO IT THEN?"  

Well, FIRST you have to really, really, REALLY want to do it.  Food is an addiction.  Yes, just like smoking, drinking,  coffee, your evening tea and cookie, having beer and pizza every Saturday night, eating chips and pop while you watch T.V., drugs ...yes, FOOD IS AN ADDICTION!   According to Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit, humans love habit and as soon as we start something it can easily become a habit (or addiction).  So, you can develop good habits just as easily as bad habits!  I'm addicted to running, green smoothies and playing the violin! Being aware of your habits/addictions can help you to change your life!  


SECONDLY, you need to decide that you are SICK and TIRED of being overweight, having no energy, being on a handful of medications and/or feeling lousy about the way you look and feel.  
You need to decide that you are willing to make a lifestylechange in order to change all these things. 



THIRDLY, you need to have MORE reason to lose weight than just being skinny.  It helps if you educate yourself about food, the history of food, the food industry, and the impact of animal food products on the environment (and global warming), animals and food supplies for our world.  There are tons of books and documentaries out there that can help you get started on your journey to better health.  


LASTLY, you have to CHANGE the way you look at eating and food.  If you change what you eat permanently you'll just lose weight!  NOT only that!  You'll lose weight WITH benefits!  You'll have more energy, your skin will glow, and your self esteem will increase.  If you are on medications, soon you'll likely be able to decrease your doses or even stop them!  With all those changes, you'll feel great and it will show!  Changing the way you look at eating and food will empower you! 

I've been having a love affair with food for 30 years!  I LOVE FOOD and to me food is art, creativity, love, power, people and medicine!
