Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #8

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss

Lesson #8

Life is extraordinary filled with wonderful people to show up to teach us things. Mitzi, a special friend from high school, sent me a book, The Game of Life and How to Play It, when I was struggling with a sickness years ago. The author speaks about the law of attraction, which I have written about previously. In addition, she writes, “No man is your enemy, no man is your friend, every man is your teacher.” When you look at life this way, it becomes so simple. Rather than be offended by what a person is saying to you, think a new thought. What is this person teaching me? What can I learn from this person? This book changed my life as it showed me how I could change my thoughts. I had always functioned from a foundation of worry and fear. Worry and fear are lower vibrational energies and then I attracted lower energies. Today, I see things entirely different as a result of changing my thoughts, and am so grateful for this transformation. I am now attracting higher vibrational energies and am amazed who is showing up for me!

What I would like you to do is write down the top five people in your life. Don’t try and analyze this—just write down those people that first pop into your mind. Now, write down the lessons they are teaching you. This might be a challenge if there is conflict with any of them. I once read that your true soul mates are the people who challenge you to be better.

You have been given many great gifts. You are to share your talents with the world. By remaining stuck in your weight issues, you are ripping off the world of what you came to this earth to do. Recently, I worked with a personal coach who said these exact words to me….that if I wasn’t sharing my talents, I was ripping off the world of all that God intended for me. This really made a powerful impact. Everything you are today is because of your thoughts and your decisions that you have made as a result of those thoughts. In the book, If You Think You Can, the word decision comes from the Latin root meaning “to cut off from.” “There comes a time in every person’s life when making a decision is truly necessary. A decision where you thought so deeply in what you want that there is no option for turning back.”

Make the decision today to gain your power back and lose the weight. The answers are within you. Keep focused on your goal. Surround yourself with people who will support your decision and release those who won’t. Give up the lifestyle that supported your weight gain. See the weight as a gift to you so that you will be conscious in becoming all you can be. We all get off track and the weight becomes a reminder that you want something different, something more meaningful. Again, it’s very simple. To quote Wayne Dyer, “Surround yourself with the conditions you want to produce.”

Who are the people you are going to surround yourself?

Who are the people you are going to have limited contact?

Who are the people you are going to let go?

Just to let you know what is coming up in January. I’ll be offering a teleconference call to help you outline your goals for 2005. The only cost to you is the price of the phone call. I’m so excited to be able to talk to you—I’m shakin’ my booty right now in anticipation.

Remember that you are already whole and complete just as God created you. You’re peeling back the layers to discover the beauty that already exists—you only need to see it. Quick, grab a mirror or go stand in front of the mirror and repeat after me. Put energy into these words and smile while you’re saying them.

I am the most beautiful person on this earth!

I am a wonderful child of God!

I am powerful!

I am God’s gift to the world!

I am my ideal weight!

I love myself!

Thank you for being you!

Love and hugs,

“Just a little taste won’t hurt my diet plan,” you justify…

“ I’ve stuck to my diet plan all day……”

A little taste and before you know it you tell yourself the extra carbs and calories will be a good boost to your workout tomorrow!

An hour later your gut is stretching and Indigestion plagues you from cheating on your diet plan!!

Diet Plan Tip #2 – Have Delicious Meals That Fit Your Meal Plan Prepared Ahead Of Time.

Having meals prepared ahead of time makes it convenient to eat according to a plan and on schedule.

The temporary taste satisfaction of a jelly-filled donut will be gone real fast but the empty calories you just devoured can defeat a whole day’s worth of bodybuilding effort!

For those of you that sabotage your diet plan munching here and there,keeping a water bottle with you wherever you go can really help.Just sip away when its oral satisfaction rather than hunger driving you.

Hassle-free Way To Quick Weight Loss

If you’re on the chubby side, you’re likely to have mixed feelings about the endless round of partying that characterizes the holiday season. While you enjoy the food and the company, the thought of all the extra pounds you’re putting on is almost enough to make you lose your appetite. The most you can do is promise yourself to go on a diet as one of your New Year’s resolutions. Well, here’s one diet that is easy to follow.
Here’s the first step: Make a list of the food you normally eat on a regular basis, including weekends. Be honest – if you have ice cream every day, put it in there. The list should be what you typically eat. Get a food calculator or log on to a website that can give you the calorie content of practically every kind of food, and add up the calories. Seeing in black and white the quantity and quality of what you have been feeding yourself, you’ll get a clear picture of why you have been packing the pounds. You have to face up to the fact that you will only gain more and more weight if you continue eating the way you do.
Next, get rid of all fatty and sugary foods you have in the house – chocolates, junk foods, etc. Why leave yourself open to temptation? You may have to ask your spouse or significant other to cooperate by not bringing such kinds of food into the house.
The point has been belabored enough: you gain weight when you consume more calories than you burn. But even more important than reducing food intake is eating the right kinds of food. Your new diet should consist mainly of fresh fruits and vegetables, starchy foods, and just a little fat. Natural simple carbohydrates, also called sugars, are the best carbs to include in the diet if you’re trying to lose weight. These are found mainly in fruits: apples, oranges, grapefruit, melon, peach, kiwi, blackberries, etc. You can eat as much fruits and veggies as you like because they are low in calories. Stick to a basic salad of fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, or some other veggies drizzled with a little olive oil.
Starches, also called complex carbohydrates, take the body longer to break down. This results in a slower and more sustained release of energy. Taken in their natural form, complex carbs contribute to appetite control and long-term good health.
Plain oatmeal with skimmed milk is an excellent choice for breakfast. If you find that bland or unappetizing, flavor it with some cinnamon. Boiled or poached egg is good too. No more bacon, ham, sausage, and other fatty and processed meat products. Instead, opt for healthy sources of protein: fish, yogurt, beans, lentils, chicken or turkey, etc. As for fast foods, they’re an absolute no-no. You should also give up your coffee habit. This could be quite a tall order, so do it gradually. And if you’d been adding sugar and creamer, skip those extra calories by drinking coffee black.
The good news is that with this diet plan, exercise is optional; you’ll still lose weight with this plan. Of course, you’ll lose weight faster if you exercise. Just follow the diet plan and walk for 30 minutes a day. The results will amaze you!
