MeadowLily Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Pick and choose your hard. Do you like this? If all of your self-worth is wrapped up in your diet and exercise routine....Is that all there is? Food Addiction is not about weight loss.

MeadowLily Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Truth. Cross-over addictions are common with food addiction and other addictions. It's not only about food or substances but behaviors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 WWWD? I choose Winston because everything that becomes political divides us. Winston has flown over the chicken coop. I find his encouragement in the face of adversity and leadership still motivating. Winston faced the fire and kept on going. I can only surmise what Winston would say about clean eating and training like a beast out there on the battlefield. Soldiers and warriors should train and eat very well. It's their life on the line. He'd spur them on to greatness with courage. Winston would help them find the greater purpose. Food Addiction Recovery = You'll have to engage your brain along every step to recovery. You can't go through the motions in that unconscious remote control mode. If dieting actually worked for food addiction, it would only take One Diet. One Time. That diet would fix all of your problems. Kick the door shut and slap your tiny hiney. Done. ROFL. I just found a poster that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Behold another elephant. Got all of those alternative flour products in your pantry. Paleo Snack Mats filled to the gills with GF flours? They can Jack UP your blood sugar faster than you can say Clean Eating. GF paleo snacks still cause insulin excursions. Pick your hard. Choose your Snack Mats wisely. Wheel and dealing with the unscrupulously and scheming deliberately engineered to be craved foods...don't fall for wolves in sheep's clothing.

MeadowLily Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Wheeling and dealing. One time, I went to that same juke joint that Gretchen sings about. Paw told me not to gooo. He said I don't ever want to see your shadow darken the door of a bar. You've got no business in there. Nothing good will come of it. He was right. I went. A cowgirl, a stranger punched me in the chest and knocked me to the floor. I fell to my knees. I didn't get my teeth knocked out but it was a brutal lesson. She had a beer bottle in her hand and was going to knock me over the head with it. The Bouncer finally game to my rescue. Paw knew. He had discernment. My shadow doesn't darken the door of juke joints like that. Not ever again. Much Love. Tanto Amore. And yes. The Boss is still watching. Keep everything on the UP and UP. Mind your P's and Q's. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 “If it is unappetizing: Do not eat, date, or sign up for it. If the mere thought of it is depressing: Do not major in it, sit through it, or devote your life to it. If it is not important to you: Do not do it only because it is important to someone else.

MeadowLily Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Progress belly selfies. Have they changed everything for you then? When you slide back off the goose do you take more belly selfies falling backwards? I don't think of my belly and body parts as photogenic. These are selfies of my thoughts.

MeadowLily Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 A folkaronie weighed in at the weight loss club. She was .5 of a pound under the goal weight. They told her she would be kicked out of being a 'weight loss lifer champion' if she didn't gain that .5 of a pound back. She told them, I even ate 3 donuts this week. The weight loss general said, I hate you, I really hate you. I don't even want to hear about that. Now, she has to get a dr.'s permission slip to stay in the club or it's off with her tiny hiney. They'll put her on the rack and make her eat more donuts. We all have our achilles heels in life to bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Do you like to chew gum and walk at the same time? Heckatoot, the ancient Greeks did it along with all kinds of ancient peoples. They used tree resin and it served a real purpose. There's an excellent rationale for this long-standing cultural habit: Gum is an effective booster of mental performance, conferring all sorts of benefits without any side effects. The latest investigation - see here of gum chewing comes from a team of psychologists at St. Lawrence University. The experiment went like this: 159 students were given a battery of demanding cognitive tasks, such as repeating random numbers backward and solving difficult logic puzzles. Half of the subjects chewed gum (sugar-free and sugar-added) while the other half were given nothing. Here's where things get peculiar: Those randomly assigned to the gum-chewing condition significantly outperformed those in the control condition on five out of six tests. (The one exception was verbal fluency, in which subjects were asked to name as many words as possible from a given category, such as "animals.") The sugar content of the gum had no effect on test performance. While previous studies achieved similar results – chewing gum is often a better test aid than caffeine – this latest research investigated the time course of the gum advantage. It turns out to be rather short lived, as gum chewers only showed an increase in performance during the first 20 minutes of testing. After that, they performed identically to non-chewers. The act of chewing wakes us up, ensuring that we are fully focused on the task at hand. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21645566 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Protein Powders = Baby formula for adults They're denatured protein. Created in a lab and manufactured in a plant. You can survive on them but you will not thrive on them. The gains you make with protein powders are temporary. There are functional muscles and there are show muscles. Show muscles like those used in body building competitions can be large, well-defined and effective in the gym for working out. The rubber meets the road when you can take them out of the gym and they are functional whenever and wherever true strength is required. Show muscles can be absolutely beautiful. An art form. Functional muscles = TNT dunamis power whenever duty calls. Functional muscles are not built in a day. Have you ever seen a 250 lb baby. There's little to be gained from adults eating baby food. It's trendy. Baby food was not formulated for adults. It was created for babies who cannot chew. Protein powders fall right in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Functional muscles showed UP when Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast. Wherever they went...they were met great kindness and true appreciation for what they can do when duty calls. Whopping boatloads and truckloads of functional muscles showed up to restore the TNT dunamis power and other necessities that make life tolerable and BEARable. Functional muscles would show UP in a deli and the east coasters were so darned happy to see all of them there helping them recover that they said you don't need to pay for this meal, it's on us. Functional muscles had never seen the likes of those enormous pastrami deli sandwiches and other east coast favorites. They treated all of the functional muscles with generosity of spirit and kindness. A beautiful thing. In times of great emergencies, americans do pull together. Nothing divides us when someone needs a helping hand and functional muscles. I'm proud as a peacock of what they can do. It is an art form to behold. They're smooth operators when faced with the fire of adversity. Create your own positive food management plan and make sure it's real food in real amounts. You never know when your functional muscles will be called upon at a moment's notice. Be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
