I have fluctuated my weight many times over my life. I have been up to 230 pounds and down to 170 pounds. My metabolism has changed, slowed right down. I used to be able to eat almost anything and stay they same weight.
I really do not care what I weigh. It is more about how I feel. When I am heavier, I am slower and less flexible and my sleep is affected. When I am skinny I get low blood sugar, lower energy and I really do not feel better.
What I am trying to do is let my body decide what it wants. Here is how.
I eat healthy meals every day. Smoothies, salads, fish, quinoa, brown rice, veggies, all that good stuff we know about. I add cheeses and oils and flavor as needed to make it pleasant to my pallet.
Here is my trick....
I only eat till I am not hungry. I do not eat till I am full.
I also limit the snacks that I consume in between. They are the real killer. Snacking is a modern invention. You do not need to snack. Have a cup of tea, drink some water, have a piece of fruit. When you indulge in chips or chocolate do it consciously. Do not eat them as you sit in front of the computer. Have only a bit for the joy and leave the rest for later. Yes they taste great but they are chemically designed to taste great and trick you into eating a lot of them. We are addicted to High Fructose Corn Syrup and to Salty snacks. Be aware that people are trying to hook you on them. Use then as you would alcohol. Occasionally and for a treat, not everyday all the time anywhere you want.
Eat well, have fun with food, dont starve yourself, give your body lots of choices, explore cooking, and of course keep your body moving and grooving.
Weight loss or control is not difficult. Kicking the snacking addiction is really tough, I still have not done it. Also eating till we are full is another major one. Slow down, stop early and eat good, locally grown food.
Remember the most important rule of nutrition is eat as much as possible that is in its original form. Rice, beans, fruits, veggies, leaves, seeds, nuts, grains, and some meats if needed or wanted.
Bon Appetite.
This is my manifesto. I will share only my most raw and true vulnerable thoughts. It is time to be free. To be my fullest self.

Internet is Fucking Boring
It has come to the point that I declare the internet officially boring!
There is a reason why hundreds of million of people play solitaire on a piece of technology that can calculate the systems needed to understand the complexities of our universes.
All I really see is a whole bunch of people waiting for someone to make a move. Someone to say or do something worth talking about. The net is a gossip queen.
I often wonder if the world was scared to step out and do what their heart calling is calling them to do?
Are you waiting for something? Are you scouring the internet to be inspired? Or are you trying to inspire others?
Or are you using the internet to gain the knowledge and experience needed to attain your heart calling?
Are you creating your world or are you waiting for others to create something for you?
The internet sucks cause not enough people are using it for anything but a big distraction (which is fine in doses) but lets start using it to change our worlds and strengthen our communities.

Laughing at God
After 35 years of extensive research into human behavior I have come to the conclusion that I am being deceived more then half the time by humanity.
Milk is not good for you
The economy is there to keep people rich and keep most poor.
We do nto need bigger TVs or the newest phone for any reason.
Our food is getting less and less safe
Our water is getting less and less safe
Politicians are not telling the truth
The court system is not there to protect the average citizen.
So many lies, so many people trying to deceive you on so many levels in order to control you....
Here is how to fight the lies.
Be honest with every word you have and every action you offer
Build a strong and vibrant community
Be honest with yourself above all else
Do not judge others, focus that energy onto healing your own wounds
Depend on food that is as close to its natural form as possible... anything else is not really food, its a treat
Spend time dancing, singing, laughing with others.
Stretch
Walk
Slow down
Laugh at the ridiculousness of most things
Ans remember when you laugh at God you laugh with God.

Still do not understand...
Then I see that what I think is needed. We can no longer depend on the economic system. It is the root of a great deal of our separation.
The money system is what is killing us. Money had no value except what we give it... and we give it so much power. We give it the power to create poverty. We give it the power to empower the evil of this world. We give it the power to come between our best friends, our families, our lovers. We give it the power to kill. We give it the power to make us afraid.
A brilliant, hard working individual, who loves their family, their friends. Who takes care of their community, their health and the health of others can be thrown out of their home, deprived of food and water all because they do not have money.
On the other hand someone who cheats others, poisons millions, steals and bullies their way to the top gets the power to do almost whatever they want.
I'm not sure what to do. I have no idea where to begin, but the economic structure rewards bullies.
You want to get rid of bullying? Get rid of the system that rewards them....
Time to change. Time to find another way of doing this whole thing. NO ONE should have more power then anyone else.
How do you see the economic structure change for the better?
