I cannot eat sugar like a normal person and I need to stop eating it right now. I can’t possibly wait until New Year’s Day- when there’s a window of desire and clarity you better step through it, says my wise Intuitive Body.
No sugar for me means no sugar- no white sugar, no brown sugar, no honey or agave nectar, no maltose or dextrose or other disgusting additives, no splenda or equal…
No sugar for me also means I may as well ditch the flour- the white, the whole wheat, the ground other-grain kinds- it all goes in like sugar anyways and my body really really doesn’t like it.
I am an ultra-sensitive, empathic intuitive clairvoyant Princess-and-the Pea type of sensitive. When I ignore this and eat processed carbs of most any kind, I lose my way. I get fuzzy, irritable, sleepy, puffy, sniffly, grumpy, and lumpy. A sort of 7-Dwarfs of out of whack from food energy that hurts my sense of self and my wellbeing.
I’m getting out while the getting is good. It’s just time and although the calendar and tradition allows me a couple more weeks of holiday over-indulgence, I can’t afford it right now.
It’s not that I hate my body- I really don’t. Yes, I have gained some weight- right where I always do in my female fat zones- upper arms, middle, butt- I am already shaped like a fertility-goddess, and extra weight makes me feel even more exaggerated in these areas..
I’m 52 years old. I feel beautiful and really healthy and very blessed most of the time in spite of the fluctutions in weight. But what I don’t like is knowing that my drugs-of-choice, the processed carby kinds of things I get addicted to, keep me in a low level sense of powerlessness. And that I can’t continue to feed, if you’ll excuse the tiny pun.
I had a great day yesterday- clean eating in all it’s glory. It’s amazing what a difference a day makes. I feel more sure of myself, confident, that puffy carb-face thing that I get really easily is much diminished.
I feel inspired at having nourished myself so beautifully yesterday. Beautiful greens and vegetables and herbs and salmon, toasted nuts and pink sockeye salmon and a little ginger and watery crunchy bok choy. No deprivation or hunger for me- that is kind of a rule.
Quick Plug For Virtual BreakThrough Day with Me!
Come spend a day with me via phone sessions with at-home assignments to do between our calls. OUr day will go for about 5-6 hours and you will finish with plans, checklists, intuitive reading feedback and really specific tools and supports to make your way to the results you crave. Sound good? Get Started On Your Breakthrough Now!
It’s whole foods and a pound of veggies/salad at lunch and dinner and foods that don’t come with labels. Again, what a difference a day makes.
Having had a tiny taste of success and the relief that comes with even a day, I am going public with my intentions and if you’d like to take a stand with me and clear out the processed carbs with flour and sugar, I’d love to have you along for the ride.
I’ll be posting on my experience- the good the bad and the ugly.
In order to keep myself within the boundaries I’ve created, I add a lot of super-nourishing self-care, inspiration, and daily practices. These are the daily-essentials for me and my beloved clients and maybe for you too.
It is sunny and beyond cold again today- may be warm enough for my 4-mile hills walk, and for another 15 minutes of the sick circuit training video by Jackie Warner that’s left me pretty damn sore this week (and I love that!).
Will let you know how it goes.
Ask me anything, I’d love you to come along.
Love and xox-
Lisa

Loved this statement "I am an ultra-sensitive, empathic intuitive clairvoyant Princess-and-the Pea type of sensitive. When I ignore this and eat processed carbs of most any kind, I lose my way. I get fuzzy, irritable, sleepy, puffy, sniffly, grumpy, and lumpy. A sort of 7-Dwarfs of out of whack from food energy that hurts my sense of self and my wellbeing." It was like you took it right out of my brain.
I had weight loss surgery after 30 years of obesity and nearly 9 years later I am still at goal after losing 130 pounds. It is because of the above statement that I was able to figure out what needed to be changed once I lost the weight from the surgery. Indeed it was no accident that I landed here. Thank you for your incredible insight.
Many blessings, Yvonne
