Just wondering whether the key is in the thinking about "eating less", and the solution is in "think less" and "eat less" will follow? <BR/><BR/>I really feel like going to a body parts shop, take my head off and ask for an exchange. Just imagine if we could stop thinking about food. It is logical that we would "eat less". As I was catching myself this weekend over and over eating more "to prepare myself for eating less" on Sunday. Just that one last binge, or, I CAN have that as I am not on the diet yet!!! And ALL of it in the thinking! Sort of underlines the common theory of we become our thinking, our peace and our doubts. ALL of our thoughts ALL of the time, so I am probably badly in need of a complete overhaul in my thinking.

Except of course you have this wonderful way with words. I also had that peace and "certainty" on Saturday evening. Sunday is our first day of the week here in the UAE, and well, within an hour at work everything frazzled. Do you think there is an element of habit here as well, in the thinking? <BR/><BR/>Think part of me is shrieking: "I can't stand it anymore"! This weekend I was thinking how wonderful it would be if there was a special CD that you can connect up to earplugs and it gives you that "instant peace" that you were talking about. So imagine if you were going into the doubt part and all you need to do is to put the CD on, without having to do the "hard work CD" relax the toes and the feet and the legs routine. This CD has to be instant and just immerse you in instant peace. Even nicer would be a jabber with a light electrode attached to it, and the moment you start to think anti-resolve, to sort out your whole aura and thinking with the jab for instant peace and release from all this stress and pressure thoughts. Turn off the switch! Ahhhhh wouldn't that be heaven!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Bea ... a wonderful blog ... again ... arAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-78954574787352270002008-02-10T07:18:00.000-07:002008-02-10T07:18:00.000-07:00You got it in a nutshell: eat less.

I knew I had heard the voice of God.'<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that that was the response you got to your lovely prayer for help about being guided to recipes, managing fat and carbs, protein-rich snacks, etc. The real answer is so simple - eat less. <BR/><BR/>But it's hard to do because we think it has to be more complicated, that there's a formula for the right combo of nutrients when the secret is, eat what you want but eat less of it.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there through the snow. It will end sometime and you will cherish the spring all the more.Anne M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08824355734094187786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-48111823490141352562008-02-09T17:21:00.000-07:002008-02-09T17:21:00.000-07:00D'you suppose it was like that for Moses?

I love epifannies, forgetting one; and have a new mantra- eat less!<BR/><BR/>Today is in the 50's! Snow about but blue sky. It has filled my soul again.

Sounds like where we were in Utah last week...it snowed literally every day. It was fun for skiing and vacation, but I saw immediately how non-fun it would be to have to shovel every day, worry about falling down on ice or skidding in the car, etc. I'm glad I have cold winters as an option, not as mandatory since my move to SoCal. :-)<BR/><BR/>Hang in...I do miss the snow...sending some sunny beachy energy to you.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856254838049366414noreply@blogger.com
