I have been so busy lately researching and trying to get a grip on how do we become fat. I have been talking to a good friend of mine who is a well known international motivational speaker. We booth have come to the conclusion that the way we think plays a big part on how we eat. I am now reading books on this subject and learning a great deal of reasons why people like me become fat.

I feel that it has a great deal to do with the way we program our minds. When I look at food it seems to have a gravitational pull on my fork almost pulling it to the plate without the ability of control. It is almost like an addiction that can give a damn about our health and what this sick habit of random eating will do to our beautiful bodies. It is a war in the mind that plays with our emotions telling us that food is the answer to whatever we are experiencing that cause us discomfort.

When I think about it I can look at food as part of my past that makes me almost blush with shame from the self inflicted scars leading to my obesity. I know that might sound really hard to the ears but I am understanding why I am in this state and it angers me a little. I am starting to see this as a preventable disease and the cure is so simple. It is just SO DARN SIMPLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME SO HARD TO KICK!! We just have to take back the POWER!! Yes this sounds so simple and in theory anyone with willpower can beat but if this is true then why are so many of us Americans fat?

We have so many other options but seem to gravitate towards the unhealthy choices that cause us so much health related problems. I am feeling that the first step to beating this nasty addiction is to admit that we I have a eating disorder. To me obesity is a clear sign that our eating has reached priority over our lives and living 100% now takes a back seat. So for me I am now in the mental state of awareness and putting up a fight. It is me against myself and I am always up for a challenge. I am ready to remix my diet and the way I have been thinking to prepare myself for true VICTORY!!

Hey everyone!! Today I was tying to avoid the hunger pains but it seems like everyone was against me. I was minding my business when all of a sudden the ladies at the office came in with a bucket of HOT WINGS!!

If any of you guys know me outside the blog then you know HOT WINGS and I have a love hate relationship. It keeps calling me and calling me and makes me feel somewhat like I am out of control but I passed on the offer!! But WAIT!!! It gets better..

One of the secretaries brings in a pecan cheese cake freshly made by her grandmother so you already know the deal on that one!! I was feeling like I was about to cave in but tried to hold my own and say no thanks!! Then why did my friends have to use the "A SMALL PIECE WANT KILL YOUR DIET?" ROUTINE!

Well anyway it is 3:30pm and I am at my desk being thankful I survived an attack of the enabler!! I got love for my coworkers but darn they can be so persuasive sometimes!! LOL

I guess the good news is I got through the day without doing something I would regret later.

Finding My Focus

Today is Thursday so I guess another week has passed and has been very uneventful. I am starting to become a little more aware of my foods and bad habits. This is the time when I can start to reflect on the past and prepare for the future. I have a question to ask anyone who dares answer?

Have you ever felt like you where running a race in a hamster wheel not making any progress? Have you ever felt like the only person in your way was you? If that is the case then I guess I am not alone in this situation that I will call  LACK OF  FOCUS.

i am feeling like I need to push myself more and position myself better for success. I am knocking on the door of hope but lately find no answer at the other end. So I guess it is time to kick it down and take what is rightfully mine! I am feeling inspired this week and more focused on self motivation. I have been watching motivational videos and reading a bunch also which has helped a great deal.  I have been meditating more and trying to work on my bad sleeping habits and allowing  positive energy to fuel me more lately. This is a big help to getting my focus in check ant putting me mind back in alignment with this Raw Food Journey I am on. This is hard work but still possible to get through as long as I can maintain my sanity. LOL

Some of My Goals For Next Week

I am going to try to be a little more creative with raw food recipes to inspire my focus. I plan to purchase a food processor this today and a new dehydrator. I also plan to shop a little more wiser and walk the perimeter of the store for now on. I do admit that sometimes I can get a little overwhelmed with the choices available in the forbidden sections so hopefully this will cure that..

I also plan to start tasting new things that I have not tried yet and see what is out there. I always see these wired things at Whole foods Supermarket that I want to try. so why not give them a try right? This will eliminate the craziness of repeating the same meals over and over again. I also found myself skipping some workouts so I will pick that back up and get my focus in check. So that is my plans for next week and what's going on right now. I do feel encouraged to continue with my goal and I feel that is what the best news is most important right now. Talk with you guys later.
