Junk food

Hi and good afternoon!

I woke up a while ago...I know it's late. I often wake up a few times during my sleep due to a noise or loud sound or something like that.

Anyways, I wanted to talk about junk food. 

I'm not sure if it's just me, but junk food makes me feel heavy.  In the past I use to eat junk food, but lately I make a conscious chose on what I'll eat, if it's good for me, and how it makes me feel. Of course I'm sure other people do this as well.

Well, I'll explain! It was when I was at the community college. I was there for about two or three years and they had a vending machine full of snacks. In the past I'm sure I would've just eaten what I could (junk wise), but I had decided to just not eat a lot  of junk, or cut it out entirely. 

So I soon realized that after cutting junk out of my diet (eating trial mix with nuts or a muffin) my body felt a lot lighter. I started to think about people who suffer from obesity and I wonder if they feel heavy, not because of the weight, but because of...hm....I'm not sure how to explain it. It's possibly the weigh I'm talking about, but it almost felt like floating. I enjoy this feeling! So I felt happier and I didn't feel the need to eat junk food after a while. 

Now I'm not sure how conscious I am of my body, but I definitely knew I felt lighter. 

I mentioned that I've been reading Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsch. Well, I've gotten to a section where they speak about how the spirit actually encompasses the body. Well, I'm guessing this is the aura. That the spirit carries the body. 

So it would only make sense that whatever food we eat effects our spirit's energy. Food, just like all other thing, have energy right? So I wonder what kind of energy junk food has. What kind of chemical is it in that causes people to eat it as if it's uncontrollable.

Well, I'll say this bluntly. It's very controllable! Simply put, I believe we often make excuses to stay where we are because we gain some kind f pleasure from the experience. Over eating, under eating and not admitting to it causes that thing to have power over you. The moment when you feel that there is nothing you to can do to stop from doing a certain thing, you're giving power over you. Okay fine, sulk. But when you're done realize that sooner or later you'll have to move. 

Things are always changing, including yourself. 

My older sister is determined to lose weight. Yet, I see that she consumes pizza often, eats chips often. I have no problem with once in a while, I actually have no problem at all. This is her choice. I think that if she were more determined she'd try to eat a healthier alternative. There are healthier chips out there. There are healthier snacks. Fruits are delicious! They're sweet and they don't hold very many calories. 

I'm not saying cut out all junk food, but understand the body! When we over-consume, we are putting more calories in our body that aren't needed. Our boy doesn't know what to do with this so it stores it as fat. 

I believe...no, I know for a fact, that we have a built in system that tells us when we've had enough food. This is what I call "the half way point", it's the point where some people would think "I'm getting full"....okay, then stop eating lol the the easiest way I can put it.

I'm sure there are others like this, but my mom, older sister and younger sister ignore this and continue to eat until they feel so full they can't move. Why would you do this to yourself? lol xD I mean seriously.

I've done this maybe a few times in life, and it's painful for me. It doesn't make me want to take a nap. Actually, my body starts to hurt when I do this. Sometimes when we would go out to eat I won't want to toss the food out. So I'd tried to eat the last bit I have on my plate, knowing full and well that I'm full. So my body works like this, it'll make my shoulders hurt and my neck hurt when I'm too full lol Then I'd sit in anguish just wishing my food would quickly digest. 

Back to the point. Mainly when you continue to do this (ignore this sign) it begins to become silent, your stomach begins to expand as it prepares to carry more food. That's why they have that surgery to make the stomach smaller. This wouldn't need to be, if we would just listen to our bodies. They signal us for a reason lol 

So, this brings to mind the spirit. It sends us signs too. I'm thinking that our spirits our very much all those signs I mentioned above. And yet, not listening to our higher knowledge (I'll call it this), we over indulge and then point fingers at the people who produce it. 

Seriously, this can be stopped. If you really wanna make 'em angry, stop purchasing their products lol It's that simple. Read about supply and demand. 

Oh! So back to my older sister. I've gotten her interested in teas. We'd often drink tea together. She doesn't drink as much soda and juice, so not every effort is pointless. I see her making changes. I won't rush her either. Even a tiny change is good.

Anyways, green tea is very good. It helps promote weight loss and it has other health benefits. They're pack with antioxidants which are good for the body as well. Well, blueberries are too. 

Maybe next time I'll talk about herbs and teas. Since I"m always talking about healthier alternatives, maybe I should write about a few. 

I'm not saying I'm the healthiest person in the world, but I do believe that if we treat our bodies properly, they'll reward us in the long run. It helps our minds, and our spirit too! These all work in unison, or they should, but we have to learn to kick the habits limiting us. 

I see a bright future ahead of us,but we have to be willing to go towards it. The future is now, it's what we choose to do now that determines who we'll be in the next second, it determines who will be in the next minute. It chooses who we are NOW. Each second before the last second, is the future. 

But remember, things manifest here a bit slower. It's due to the density and sometimes, even our willingness to pay attention to it.

So next time I'll crack open my herb book. I haven't opened that thing in a while. I'll go over some herbs, and teas and their benefits :3

Until than, bye~
