Releasing The Need For Fast weight loss results

        Releasing The Need For Fast Results.

  The one thing I battle when I get back on the weight loss journey is wanting to see fast results. I have a desire to see the highest about of weight loss ever. I began to feel myself not enjoying the journey and wanting it to be over. I battle with this every time I start my journey. This is probably the main reason why I crash and burn when I am working on my weigh loss. I have to tell myself that slow and easy does it. I have to understand that this is a process and one journey that I am not going to be able to just breeze through because this is a lesson for me. I have to take this journey one day at a time and understand that the race is not given to the swift but to the one that endures to the end. I will day by day complete this journey. When I began to feel like I want to take this process to an extreme I will call on my spiritual helpers for guidance on this journey. During this full moon I will release the need to make this be extreme with my weight loss. I will be gentle with myself and love myself to my best capacity. I will implement self mastery but I will not be hard on myself. I will focus daily goals of staying on task.

Finding balance with Carbohydrates

Finding Balance with Carbohydrates

 I love me some carbs. I love my pastas, fresher baked breads with butter, banana but bread, Mashed potatoes, potato salad, you name it I love it. I really love them during that certain womanly time of the month because it is so filling. After so many times on the journey I am understanding that I am an emotional eater. Its all about feelings with me. I have learned more now than I knew then about eating better and one thing is for certain. As a emotional pisces, and just being a woman if I determined my eating carbs from my emotional feelings I would be out of control with my blood sugar and all. So with that thinking I have to change that lol.

  On my spiritual journey now I am learning to change my thinking to being more positive so I can feel better. On my weight loss journeying in the past I was at a place where my I thought that I had to allow my emotions to control my life. I understand now that my emotions (E=Energy+Motions= Enery in motion) are all based on how what I think and those feelings are sent out into the universe to attract like frequency. I've learned that I have the ability to change my emotions by immediately understanding that I don't feel well, and giving myself a mantra or affirmation to alter my thinking. This does work. What I use to do was think feel my feeling and understand that I don't feel good and then stay there, attracting like frequency. I would own my feelings and would use food for comfort. So carbohydrates produce serotonin a feel good chemical in the brain and when I felt bad I would eat carbs to feel better. Most of the times I was feeling bad because I didn't have good feelings about myself to begin. Low self esteem sucks. If you don't love yourself you will be unhappy. Back then I had bad feelings about my weight, look, personality and all. Then with the belief of being an emotional eater I was validating all of the horrible thoughts about myself. So now I use my thoughts to produce good feelings and I don't have to use carbs to produce the feel good feeling because I understand that feeling are temporary and can change by what you think.

    I have tried all types of diets from low carbs, to eating carbs and I have learned that carbs need a balance. I do eat carbs but I get them through veggies now versus processed foods. If I do eat a food high in carbs I save then for one meal. I save it and it can't be the majority of the meal. Most of my foods are proteins (Meats, nuts) Fruits and veggies all day long but I choose one of my major meals to have a small portion of a good high in carbs. Some people would like tell me not to eat them at all but I feel that balance is the key. I allow myself one portion a day. Today I had it for breakfast and that will be the only time I eat it today. The rest of my meals will be protein, fruits, and veggies. Low carb does produce wonderful results. I do allow myself all good groups in moderations. Not all day but once a day.

Slow and steady

Slow & Steady

  I started my first weight loss journey at the age of 9. That is very early in life. I don't understand how I am still at it at 32. I started playing my first sport at 5 years old. I started playing basketball. So fitness became a concern very early in my life. So when I really think about it I can see that I created habits at a very young age of weight loss. The one thing I have learned is slow and steady is the key. Fast weight loss results in fast weight gain.

   I have maintained my weight loss a long time with out making it a priority. So I have began to make it a priority again. I started off just getting back to working out without changing my diet at first. Im am the type of person that is all or nothing. I don't do anything half way. There was a time where I would restrict myself so much that I was only getting the smallest amount of calories possible and would wonder why I crashed and burned so fast. I learned through much prayer and spiritual work that my behaviors showed that I did not love myself at all. My strategy was to make myself suffer for all of the weight I gained. In my mind I was such a glutton and didn't deserve to be treated nicely. I remember one time that I ate half a pack a noodles a day and water to lose weight. Yes you did read that right. So many extremes. Could you imagine how unhappy I was on the inside? After years of being on this journey o have learned that being easy and loving to yourself is the key to success.

   Through all of my experiences of getting it wrong I learned what not to do. I look at myself in the mirror today to appreciate myself on a whole other level. Today I know that loving yourself through every journey is the key for success. You can't believe that you are a horrible person for your weight and then expect your body to perform magic. Believing that you are amazingly awesome makes you feel amazingly awesome and I believe you will attract amazing result. Slow and steady is the key. Being extreme causes psychological problems. Love yourself for not giving up no matter how many times you have to start over. I claim that I am the master of weight loss because through all of my times on this journey I understand what it truly takes to make this work. I love me for never giving up on me.
