Life is Healthy

Life is turning into a great life. It's taking some effort, but it's been worth it. A real life can unfold for everyone if they just believe they have the power. Their power is not outside of them. It's inside. That's the key. I'm not saying that thinking like this is in anyway easy—especially if you're used to giving your power away. It takes several weeks of telling yourself everyday that your are the one who's in control. But once it starts to sink in, it opens a whole new world to you. It begins with The Secret and it keeps going with you. Think I'm full of it? Give it a shot. The only thing you have to lose is a bad attitude.

Remember: It isn't easy. But it's worth it.

That's all for today. I'm still traveling on my journey to enlightenment. And I'm still avoiding sugar—although I did fall off the wagon this weekend. Never to my benefit though. I always end up getting sick after I eat the sugar. I think I was closer to diabetes than I once thought.

Shrink Yourself offers some tips about regaining personal power. The site says that once we realize we are not powerless over food, we can learn to make good decisions. And I can say for sure, that's true. I've been working on myself, and I've learned it's my choice. I am not powerless over a cupcake.

Last night I had another dream in which I was in control. In the dream, someone I know accused me of taking something which I didn't take. She had this little fishing rod, and she said that since I was the last person to touch it, and she had lost it, I should pay for it. I refused. I took her to the truck she had been loading things into and showed her that the fishing rod was still it in it. Then I said, "Now I think you owe me something." She said nothing. I said, "That's what I thought." But I was in control.

If you really want to lose weight, you have to realize you are the only one who has the power to do it. I have found that The Secret also helps people find their power. This way of thinking has brought me to a new place.

I am still doing the Belly Fat Cure. You can also follow Jorge on Facebook.

The diet is still going well—and I will once again plug the diet the Belly Fat Cure. I feel lighter. What I like about this diet is that I can eat things I like. I'm giving up sugar, not food.


I was watching Oprah yesterday. She had a guest who discussed why people use food to control their lives. According to Oprah's website "Geneen Roth's book Women, Food, and God has the advice you need to stop dieting and become more aware of what you're eating and how you're eating." And Oprah says she will never diet again. These are the seven guidelines of the book—but Roth warns that unless you're willing to do the soul searching that goes along with them, they're useless—

• Eat when you are hungry.
  
• Eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
  
• Eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspapers, books, intense or anxiety-producing conversations or music.
  
• Eat what your body wants.
  
• Eat until you are satisfied.
  
• Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
  
• Eat with enjoyment, gusto and pleasure.

I have not purchased this book—not yet anyway. I'm still working on figuring out The Secret.
