How to Let Excess Weight Quit You

I'm going to propose to you a slightly different perspective on the old weight loss routine. Are you ready? Losing weight and living at "your ideal" body mass is about focusing and making a commitment to yourself to choose things that create health and vitality in every moment. Living at your ideal weight and creating a truly healthy body also means creating and living a healthy lifestyle, not just eating certain foods and exercising. The easiest way I have found to do this is by staying in the NOW moment, that is where you have the power to change, ( not the future or the past ) and making a decision to ADD IN something healthy at least one time per day. Commit to YOUR life and being the very best you can be. To do that I suggest you just add a little in every day on all levels, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

When you make a commitment to your life, health and happiness, you then begin to base all your choices on that commitment. As you become conscious and pay attention to your life, and create it one choice at a time, everything will change and start to align with that commitment. Then ideal weight, health, happiness and joy will blossom for you. What you perceive as not perfect, healthy or acceptable, will begin to effortlessly change and eventually fall away. In order to be at your best and give of yourself to others, you MUST take care of YOU first. You can not drink from an empty well. Know that making choices that feel good to you, will automatically be right for those around and close to you. If others in your field of influence are having issues with what brings you joy and feels good, then maybe it is time to take a closer look at your relationships and their core values.

In making all my decisions, large or small, I use my heart and a simple process I learned called Quantum Entrainment (QE). QE quickly and easily puts me in touch with my SELF ( heart energy ) and harmonizes my energy field. Any decisions made from this perspective will be for the good of all. . Reading the article Space Walking and adopting this daily practice will help you to create inner peace, harmony, and achievement of your goals.

So what are my suggested steps to having your extra pounds quit you, creating joy, happiness, peace and your true heart's desire? Let's find out.

1. Commit to paying attention and being aware in your life in every moment
We create the future one moment at a time. Each now moment is an opportunity to create a different future, so stay awake and create what you really want. In terms of food, that translates into reading labels and making good health oriented eating decisions, not always succumbing to fast food and sugar fixes that are readily available.

2. Make decisions from your heart and what feels good, not what you think is right
Take the time to be with yourself. Laying one hand on your heart and then asking "what is it I really want", "does this ____feel good " or "is this ___good for me right now", will do wonders for your life in every aspect.

3. Trust and follow your heart and what brings you joy
When you learn to let your heart lead instead of your brain and ego, life will open it's doors to you and things you never dreamed possible will start to happen for you. Happiness, peace, joy, laughter and other positive emotions encourage alkalinity in the body. Creating an alkaline body terrain is a step in the process of achieving an ideal body mass.

4. Focus only on the choices, not the outcome
Throughout your day focus on being conscious about what you eat, think and feel. Let go of the need to achieve results. Having to perform puts pressure on you. That pressure eventually turns to stress which then turns to acid. An acid body terrain is the direct road to dis harmony or "dis ease" and excess body fat.

5. ADD to your diet, not take away
Make a change to healthier, alkaline food and product choices by substituting better quality. less toxic products for what you currently use and eat. If you eat potato chips then buy organic baked chips, upgrade the quality. View this acid alkaline food chart to help you with the best food choices.

6 ADD at least 2 cups of fresh GREENS every day to your menu
The fastest and easiest way to add greens into your diet is to add a cup to a fruit smoothie or make a green juice. Review Lose Weight, Feel Great for hints and recipes.

7. Decide to make one day per week vegan, then eat only vegan foods all day
You will see and feel the difference in your energy and body as you do this simple exercise every week. If it feels good go for more days each week just eating vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. You may wish to read the book " The China Study " to see what scientific studies from 3 nations reveal.

8. Choose one or more new superfoods and add them into your daily food intake
Adopting this practice will give you an education, alkaline energy giving foods and lots of variety and flavor in your meals. When you consume alkaline raw foods you can eat any amount you would like. There is no rationing or going away unsatisfied and hungry. Superfoods are nutrient dense, health giving and satisfying. In my Top 10 Superfoods article you will get acquainted with some great superfood choicest to add in to your diet.

9. Commit to making one new vegan or vegetarian recipe every week
Make this a fun thing to share with your family. Eating lighter is energizing, healthy and a fun learning experience for everyone. There are endless new foods to learn about and try. Eating vegan also helps you connect more fully with your heart and true self because they are expansive foods and naturally carry more sunlight ( photon energy ) in them.

10. Pay close attention to your everyday words. Choose to focus on what you DO want, not what you don't have or don't want in your life
Words and thoughts become physical things. They have immense power, so choose them carefully every moment. Remember the old saying, "be careful what you ask for?" Anyone who has watched the movie "The Secret" or who has studied quantum mechanics, knows that what you focus your attention on you create. Therefore, it is very important to only focus attention and energy on things and feelings you want in your life, period. That is why I am suggesting you focus on adding healthy vegan/vegertarian ( as fresh and raw as possible ) foods into your life and on making decisions that feel great in every moment. The universe reflects back to you what you put your attention on. When you focus on positive, "feel good" things instead of paying attention to how much weight you need to loose, how hungry you are, or how much pain you are in, you take responsibility for your life. The universe will respond and transform your life into wonder, joy, peace, health and happiness. Try it and be amazed every day!
