Weight Loss, Fruit & Happiness

Summer is HERE! Who's excited?

I'm so amazed at the wonder of life and the way it has been flowing. I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog post, which wasn't even about food.

So, let's make this one juicy, baby.

A quick update about life:
*I've spent almost two weeks in the big APPLE & I just so happen to LOVE New York City. After 2 years of dreaming about it, I ate at Pure Food & Wine (the famous NYC Raw restaurant).

*I spent a week in Austin, TX with some of the most AMAZING people I've ever met. It changed my life. I "grew up" in the BEST way possible that week through insights, vision and support.

*Things have never been better.

*I NOW WEAR BETWEEN A SIZE 4 and SIZE 6!!!!! (Okay, this is sort of huge news for me because, as you know, I started the beginning of the year feeling icky...and funny enough, my secret is NOT eating ALL raw food)

So...WHAT IS the secret to going from a size 10 to a size 4-6 (depending on the brand) in 5 months without dieting AND keeping it off? Do you really want to know? Are you sure? Because once you know, you know and there is no going back.

Okay, well since you insisted...I'll tell you;-)

There are 3 main components:
1. Telling people I'm having "the best day ever" or that "I'm amazing" every time they ask. Not only that, but faking it if I'm not feeling great. Some might call that lying, but to me, it's just a sneaky way to trick my mind into being happy. The thing is that the subconscious mind does not know the difference between outer and inner reality. So, if you are outwardly expressing that you are crazy happy, you will become crazy happy and happy emotions help regulate hormones.

2. Eating loads of fruit. Depending on what I'm craving, I enjoy lots of fruit during the day and especially 30 minutes before meals.

3. Giving. I went to the Ghirardelli store to buy chocolates last week in NYC and randomly started handing out chocolates to the security guards at Rockefeller Center. After I offered one of the guards chocolate and he took it, he said to me, "Ma'am, is there something I can do for you?" And I replied with "No, I just saw you standing here when I was walking into the chocolate shop and wanted to bring you a chocolate." (And that's true). So he was like, "oh, wow" and then asked me lots of random questions about my life. Like, where are you from and what are you doing in NYC, etc. At the end of the conversation, he apologized for asking so many random questions and was like, "gosh, no one has ever just brought me chocolate before for no reason, thank you."

I believe the reason giving has helped me lose weight, is because my focus has shifted from being all about me, to adding massive value to other people's lives. From handing out chocolate to helping someone find there way in NYC, I've found how important it is to bring your gifts and talents to the world. You absolutely know more than someone else about something...so share it!
