THE THREE C’S OF LIFE








It's your CHOICE to take a CHANCE and make a CHANGE!

Are you wanting to get healthy and lose weight? 

I'm not talking about 5 pounds or 10 pounds.   There comes a time when you just can't say "I'm thick", "I'm fluffy", "I'm a chunk monkey', etc.   We can spin it to others like it doesn't matter but WE know the truth.

We don't want to be fat, obese, morbidly obese, etc.  I know!  I've been them all and I'm still fat!

BUT....

I did make a choice to lose weight and get healthy.

I did take a chance by ordering Skinny Fiber and trying just one more time after I had promised myself that I would never ever try to lose weight again.

And I have made changes to become healthier.

Am I successful every day?  No!   Sometimes I do great for a week and then I stumble.

The difference is I just don't beat myself up over it any more and I don't quit!  That is the most important part of a weight loss program.

This is a journey you have to make because it is what you want.  You have to set small goals for yourself.  Down a size; buying a swimsuit.  Going dancing.  Riding a zipline.  Taking a cruise.  Going to a concert.   Taking a trip.  Learning to paint.  These are all things I have set for myself.  Reward yourself often with tangible things you want to try or do.   It does make a difference!!!

Where are you today?   Deciding to make a choice?  Considering taking a chance?  Or are you finally ready to make that change?

It's up to you.   It's your life.  Exist in it or live it.  What's your choice?

THE MAGIC IS IN YOU!

THE MAGIC IS IN YOU!








I wish I could teach overweight people what it has taken me 53 years to learn.

There is no magic pill.  There!  I said it!  That is the child in you using magical thinking.  When you are a child you can apportion responsibility to others.  But when you become an adult, all the responsibility lies with you and you alone.  You are the only one who can change what you eat.  Are there products that can help you lose weight?  Yes, and I found a great one in Skinny Fiber.  Because of its ingredients, it has helped me become so much healthier aside from the weight loss. 

I always had reasons (excuses) why I was overweight.  Whatever the reason was, it wasn’t my fault.  My favorite was “I don’t really eat that much”.    Which was true, if you added “at meals”.    I have always been a secret eater.   I don’t eat much at meals but if I’m by myself, I can put the food away.

Another favorite was “I have slow metabolism”.  True, my metabolism was slow but I did nothing to help it.  I lived on carbs and diet soda and my exercise consisted of getting up and going to the kitchen!

I loved this one.  “I have a longer intestine than most people.  The food stays in there longer so I absorb more calories.”  Sounds great and of course, it succeeded in the responsibility for being overweight placed on a part of my body instead of me.

I would proclaim, “I eat healthy.”  Well, I did like fruit and did eat some vegetables.  But having an extra large pizza topped with lots of vegetables and eating the whole thing is not really eating healthy.

Losing weight is not an overnight journey.  Gaining it wasn’t and neither is losing it.  If you truly want to lose weight and keep it off, then you have to make changes.  Skinny Fiber provided the impetus for me to start my last weight loss journey that is more like a leisurely walk than a sprint. 

First you have to decide that all the excuses are going to be placed in the garbage.  You have to own responsibility for your own body.    You have to believe that you are worthy and deserve to be healthy.  Then you have to start making better choices.  You don’t have to do everything at once.  When I started Skinny Fiber, the only journey I was on was to prove them wrong and get my money back.    The only thing I changed was drinking 150 ounces of water daily and taking 2 Skinny Fiber capsules twice a day.  I did that for an entire month.  I ate whatever I wanted but I stopped when I started feeling full.

After seeing that I had lost 10 pounds the first month, I knew I could do this.  The days turned in to weeks and the weeks into months.  I started making better choices about my food and food intake.  I have learned to listen to my body.  Unfortunately for me, my body does not digest or process carbs very well.  Now that doesn’t mean I never eat carbs.  I do but not every day and when I eat them, it is in moderation. 

When you lose weight slowly, like you probably gained it, your body adjusts.  Even when you do overeat on occasion, you probably won’t gain a pound.  Now if you go on a food fest for a week, well, you know what happens.

All my life I wanted that magic pill; that magic something.  I remember after losing about 40 lost pounds, I just got it.  There is nothing and I mean nothing magical that is going to take the fat away.  The magic is in you.  Once you realize that, you will be empowered.  You will know that you can change your weight, your health and your life.  Could I have done it without  Skinny Fiber?  I doubt it.  I’ve never been able to in the past.  But I get it now.  It’s about responsibility.  Being responsible for taking my Skinny Fiber, for drinking my water, for moving my body and for the choices I make regarding my food. 

And when I do that, do you know what happens?  MAGIC!  My life has become magical.  The magic truly is in me.  And it is in your too!  If you need help getting on the path to finding the magic in you, contact me.  I will help you wherever you are.  Choose to find the magic in you and become that healthy person that already lives in you and is yearning to break free!

CHOICES

CHOICES








Choices.  We all make them.  Everyday.  Many times a day.

The choices we make form the journey to our destiny and determine the path for our day.  I admit I let traffic get to me.  I cannot stand drivers who whiz in and out of traffic, drive 100 miles an hour and honk and blink their lights at people going 75, those who pass on the shoulder or get in the wrong lane because they believe their time is more valuable than that of the other drivers. 

Mornings are especially stressful for me.  Especially when I have to cross 6-7 lanes of traffic.   It seems that if I put my blinker on one second before changing lanes, someone takes offense to it and speeds up to prevent me from moving over.  So here I am listening to Gospel music and yelling names at these people and thinking worse thoughts.  Singing about the wonders of God while yelling, “YOU IDIOT!”  Yes, I know it’s a contradiction!  This morning I reminded myself that I am making a choice to let all this upset me.  I can choose to just stay in a calm place and let them do their thing without it affecting me.

I have found this to be true in so many parts of my life.  I made a conscious decision a couple of months ago to stop letting things at home determine my mood.  (I admit sometimes I still fail at this!  Lol)  When a towel is left on the floor, or dishes in the sink, or the garbage isn’t taken out, I ask myself:  Will it take more time to make a fuss about it or just do it myself?”  It’s usually the latter.  I also ask myself, “If it starts an argument, will I even remember what it was about a year from now?  Or even a couple of weeks?”  The answer is always no.

Sometimes the way we approach things and the choice we make in handling a situation makes all the difference in the world in the outcome.  This morning a customer was parked in our drive in such a way I could hardly park my car.  What I wanted to do was pinch his little head off and yell at him.  I thought about it as I walked up the steps to the door.  When I got inside I said, “Could you do me a big favor?  When you park in the mornings, could you move back a little from where we park our cars to make it easier for us to get in?”  It’s only in the mornings I need this.”  Well, he was so apologetic.  Said of course he would.  My choice to be nice resulted in me getting the result I wanted without ruining either of our days.

We are always making choices that affect our lives.  I know most people tend to focus on the big choices of life.  I believe that it is the small, daily choices that truly determine how calm and peaceful our everyday lives are.    It’s a struggle for me.  I’m not there yet but I am working on it.  And what I find is that each time I make the right choice, in an instant, my day is always better.

Try it for yourself.  See what happens.  And feel free to share with me and my readers.  Make the choice to have a great day!
