Peel Back the Layers and See What's Causing You Stress and extra FAT

We all know that Stress is a silent killer and linked to many other issues as well. Do you ever wonder why all the exercise in the world, does not get rid of Muffin Top? Wonder why our head hurts, or your PMS is out of control or maybe you are having sleep issues.

We live in a universe of laws. The Law of Attraction is always working to bring you the experiences you are thinking about. Cause and Effect is the law that determines our physiology. Being sick or overweight is an EFFECT. In order to get healthy and lose weight, you must find the CAUSE and address that first.

Ask yourself WHY are you chubby and/or out of shape to begin with?

Do you eat because your bored? Do you eat to procrastinate? Do you eat processed foods, artificial sweetener or sugar? Overdo it with coffee? Not enough sleep? Too much stress from your relationship, exercise program or career choice? Maybe you are a binge eating or drinking too much alcohol? Are you a couch potato?

Going to the gym and dieting are not the Answer because they don’t address the reason why the FAT is covering your abs to being with. It's likely that even if you do lose weight, you will gain it right back unless you address the CAUSE. Find the cause and address that. The effect (weight loss) will come naturally when you take responsibility.

If you want to lose weight and get healthy - you need guidance. We ALL need guidance in some area of life.

Most of us have accountants, lawyers, travel agents, mechanics, chefs, spiritual teachers, career mentors, tailors, etc… You see my point?

Human health, the science of safe & effective exercise programs and the physiology of weight loss requires an expert for MOST (not all) people.

Find a real expert and either become friends, work for them or become their client or take a class. Have the power and the Strength to learn to Deconstruct your Cravings. Once you know what is causing you to CRAVE a Food, you can redirect your Food Choice to what your body is truly reaching out for.

Underlying Emotions sometimes are interpreted as cravings for foods. Maybe you are actually craving Entertainment, Movement or a Hug. It could be that other parts of you and your psyche are really reaching out for more varied activities. Are you using food to distract you from being bored? Maybe you need more love, affection and fulfillment. Touch is so important for Humans. Food can fill you up but it won't fulfill you. It could be a lack of movement that is translating as aches, pains, tightness and stress in your muscles, but you think you need some alcohol and sugar foods to unwind and relax. It's only causing more damage.

Please find someone that can help you understand "YOUR CRAVINGS" and get you on the path to real health and less Stress.

Here is a tip...Start with Small Changes. for example, to begin losing weight fast, switch from simple carbohydrates t complex carbohydrates and eat lots of veggies. You will Lose weight. Plant foods are so low in calories and they force your Body to burn it's own fat.

Emotions, Stress and Food SUMMERTIME

Well, it's summer, so I hope you are taking the time to regenerate and reflect. Now is the perfect time to unwind and let go of any Stress you may have been holding on to. Do you feel like you are missing anything in your life? Is there an empty feeling you can not identify with? Do you find yourself craving any foods or maybe eating too much or just eating foods that may not make you feel your best???

Sometimes, weight issues and food issues are replacements for emotions and/or subconscious feelings that your life just is not what you were expecting. Maybe you don't love your profession or maybe you are tired of not having a profession or a job, maybe you are unsatisfied with some relationships in your life. Are you aware that if you have emotions or thoughts of emptiness, or being unfulfilled or that your relationships could be better...you may be eating to fill the void.

Try keeping a journal or food log that allows you to record what you ate, how you were feeling emotionally at the time and how that food made your body and your mind feel about 2 hours after you ate. I bet within a few weeks, you may begin to see correlations between your food habits and your mental state. You can also try talking to a friend that you trust. I have seen many people make huge changes in their diets and their HEALTH when they become aware of the FOOD / MOOD Connections.

Take some time this summer with yourself. Try taking long walks, sit under a tree, plant a garden, exercise outside and read a book in the sun. Get to know yourself (the person who you were as a child.) Reconnect with the child you were who had so many dreams and ideas of who they were and what they wanted out of life. Remember the fearlessness and excitement you felt everyday and Remember the feeling you had that Everything was within your reach!!! Everything is still within your reach- You just have to remember what it is that you truly WANT FROM THIS LIFE!!!!

These are the keys to releasing stress and enabling yourself to live your best life and recover your Vibrant health and Energy that you are meant to have.
