Try Something New and Lose Fat

Try something new. New ideas spark new thoughts creating inspiration and possibly new positive self talk. Great things, things and ideas that excite you therefore inspire you to change and grow, progressing you out of the old ruts and bad habits.  Here are some "new"  ideas to try out:

1. Check out a local art museum: One of my favorites and just a walk from the beach is the Laguna Beach Art Museum and it is even free on Thursdays from 5pm-8pm.
2. Look for some fresh and inviting veggies and fruit, inspire the senses at your local farmers market. Farmer.net
3. Redecorate your house, add some flair or simply. Give your house a makeover and feel good about coming home. Interior Design Magazine
4. Try a new sport, to name a few: Volleyball, Basketball, Bicycling, Tennis, the list goes on and so does the fun. Sports are character building, fun and exciting ways to loose weight. MeetUp.com may have a few people in your area trying to do the same.
5. Take a dance class, salsa, line dancing, jazz, ballet.....bellydancing.
6. Energize your life with skydiving.
7. A fun way to find new and cheap ways to do things in your area is too check out reduced priced action from sources like Groupon, Spreebird, Daily Deals and many more.

Pay Attention!

Pay Attention!
Eating. We do it every day; three, four, five times a day or more. We have eaten food since birth, and there are some good and bad feelings associated with eating. It is easy to become numb while eating, which is why some of us eat extra. It is also convenient and acceptable on some levels to try to and eat your feelings away. Today ask yourself how are you feeling? Pay attention to your feelings before, during and after you eat.

Common feelings include:
    Hunger
    Anger
    Loneliness
    Tired

Also known as HALT.  It is easy to get swallowed up by your emotions especially strong emotions like anger, loneliness, self-loathing and even exhaustion. Food is safe for many people, as it is not illegal and no one regulates your personal daily intake, except you. Unlike alcohol you can't stop eating food, it is everywhere and you need it to survive. So that's where moderation and healthy behaviors come in, and don't forget pleasure. Enjoying the sweet taste of a strawberry because you want it and not because you emotionally need can be satisfying and life changing for the body and the soul.

Things will begin to change when you begin to change your daily actions and habits. Sometimes this happens overnight and sometimes it will take awhile. Life is great and it is here for your enjoyment if you take the reins and move forward into a life of greatness and joy. Begin by acknowledging and writing down your feelings throughout the day and while you eat. If these feelings are too much for you to handle and work through, search out a competent professional to help you, because your life is worth it!

Valentine's Day Weight Loss Plan

Valentine's Day brings forth a wide assortment of feelings for both singles, couples and married couples. Love, confusion, loneliness and satisfaction are only some of these feelings. And although this blog is about food and weight loss, V-day is an important subject because holidays can be a sore spot for some and a trigger for emotional eating for others.

Don't give in this Valentine's Day, don't give into the self ridicule and loneliness talk. Instead inspire yourself, no matter what your situation is and move into with GRATITUDE and shed a smile on someone else's life. Get out of your head, and treat someone how you would like to treated for Valentine's Day. Traditional isn't always the way someone feels i.e. flowers, chocolate and cards. Maybe you are not inspired by that. Dig deep into how you want to give and move forward. And sometimes an experience is worth far more than a box of chocolate. Break out and have fun this Valentine's Day!
