WANT A CRAZY BUT AMAZING (& easy) WAY TO EAT LESS??? And NOT a diet! VOTE ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – COMMENT BELOW! Researchers at USC university have discovered that you will eat ONE THIRD LESS if you eat with your non-dominant hand (e.g. if you’re right handed, eat with your left hand).
— WHY?
When you break away from your regular habits (e.g. eating with a different hand), you become really conscious of what you’re eating, you’re not just shoveling in the food mindlessly. You are aware of what you’re eating. You are actually paying attention… Good luck and let me know how you get on!
I’m here rooting for you.

Fat Talk & Compliments… YOU HURT YOURSELF & OTHERS WHEN YOU CAN’T TAKE A COMPLIMENT
Vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – COMMENT BELOW! Your dress is beautiful / You mean this old thing??! YOU HURT YOURSELF & OTHERS WHEN YOU CAN’T TAKE A COMPLIMENT… Hello you! YES YOU! Who else am I talking to??? Have you ever done this?:
Them: Hey [Name] you look gorgeous! Oh my goodness that dress is beautiful.
Us: This thing? I got it at [Shop name] on sale for $3. It’s a stupid dress and I had to safety pin the hem… See?
Them: Ahm, well you look good in it. And your sandals look so good.
Us: Hmmmm – you obviously haven’t noticed the hard skin on my feet, it’s like stone.
Them: Well, you look great anyway.
Us: My stomach’s bloated at the moment.
Them: OK.
And then they give up. Maybe this example is extreme but have you ever said any of these types of things???
Someone says something nice to you about the way you look and instead of just saying a gracious ‘thank you’ like a sane human being… you bat their compliment away by making a list of what you think could be wrong with you.
Many of us feel uncomfortable when someone says something wonderful about our appearance, maybe we feel we don’t deserve it BUT what we don’t realize is that if we keep doing that, we’ll be chipping away at our self esteem… It’s toxic!
A study published in ‘Psychology of Women Quarterly’ (Title: “‘If You’re Fat, Then I’m Humongous!’: Frequency, Content and Impact of Fat Talk”) found that “Fat talk (women speaking negatively about the size and shape of their bodies) is a phenomenon that both reflects and creates body dissatisfaction.”
So it’s a vicious cycle… If you keep going on (even just to yourself), about how much you don’t like your appearance, everything gets worse!
And if you can accept compliments and say nice things to yourself (find nice things to say!), accepting and loving yourself where you are right now, you can avoid a whole load of heartache (including, according to studies, depression!).
AND
Think of the poor person that complimented you!!! They put themselves on the line to honestly say something nice about you and because of your $%&*ed up view of yourself, you act like what they are saying is nothing, just garbage! You have rejected them bigtime. Get a grip girl! Let’s do better. The next person that says something nice to you… Just reply, “Thank you. I really appreciate it. That makes me feel great!” and leave it at that before I have to come over to where you are and give you a piece of my mind in person LOL.
Now, in the comments box below, please tell me 3 to 6 things that are GREAT about yourself! Don’t hold back.
Here are my 6 things:
1) “I love the way my behind jiggles when I walk…” LOL
2) “My skin is beautiful.”
3) “My teeth aren’t perfect but they’re mine and I like them! They suit my face. Tooth chips and all ”
4) “I am loving. I care about people.”
5) “I love dancing to soca music. Carnival. In the sunshine and with a smile on my face!”
6) “I’ve discovered I don’t have to perfect anymore and so I have a lot more fun and I’m much more honest with people. How smart am I? Heh heh!!!”

Want A SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS STRATEGY THAT DOUBLES HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU LOSE?
Comment below… Vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’! A SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS STRATEGY THAT DOUBLES HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU LOSE… How do we know this actually works?
One of the longest running and largest scale weight loss maintenance trials ever conducted: a Kaiser Permanente study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health. Published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
– 1700 study participants
– 44% African American
Guess what it is..? A FOOD DIARY!
Now ladies, I’m not saying you’ll need to do this darned boring thing forever! How flipping annoying would that be??! I’m suggesting that self awareness is key. So many of us just aren’t aware of what we really do eat… Some of us remember the main meals we have and totally blank on all the snacking, all the grazing.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DITCH THOSE POUNDS… for the first few weeks of deciding to change your lifestyle, of deciding to lose weight… just keep a food journal, write down everything you eat (even the stuff you don’t want to write down!). This is time consuming but writing down everything you eat, even for just a few weeks, for many people, can be the key to taking the pounds off and keeping them off.
— “Can writing down what you eat really help you to lose weight?”
According to the leader author of the study (Jack Hollis PhD), “The more food records people kept, the more weight they lost. Those who kept daily food records LOST TWICE AS MUCH WEIGHT as those who kept no records. It seems that the simple act of writing down what you eat encourages people to consume fewer calories.”
— “But I am on the road a lot, I don’t have a way of keeping a formal journal”
Dr K. Bachman who was also a part of the study said, “Keeping a food diary doesn’t have to be a formal thing. Just the act of scribbling down what you eat on a Post-It note, sending yourself e-mails tallying each meal, or sending yourself a text message will suffice. It’s the process of reflecting on what you eat that helps us become aware of our habits, and hopefully change our behavior.”
So there you have it. Are you willing to ‘sacrifice’ two weeks of your life to food journal to really get self aware and to work out how much food / what you’re actually putting into your body?
I used to be about 70 pounds heavier (approx 32 kilos) and when I started my weight loss journey, I did a food journal for a few weeks so I could work out exactly what I was eating. I have to say it was a darned eye opener! I had been extremely un-self aware. And as I’d been gaining weight steadily over the years, I used to blame the washing machine for shrinking my clothes! I felt blindsided by the constant weight gain, so confused about why / how I was getting fatter and fatter. The food journal helped me to see what I was actually doing. And Knowledge is power baby!
I’m here rooting for you!
