Clearly I’m not dialed in to the same vibe of pleasure in chocolate cake! ( I am that woman who is very thin, even after five children )

But I enjoy that other people do love chocolate cake! (I get that its enjoyable for others)

and I respect those that listen to their bodies and stick to their own game plans for their health and wellbeing (who believe that this is the way to stay in alignment with their desire for their ‘ideal’ body).

buuuut…

…I sometimes succumb (in direct opposition to my aversion to sugar and processed food) to cravings for a hot chocolate made with chille and real melted dark belgian chocolate. There’s a special cafe nearby that does them – expensive and decadent – so creamy, spicy and sweet! I ALWAYS feel bad (sometimes even unwell) afterward and need to go away, do some energy shifting work, forgive myself (it always feels like pleasure at the time, and punishment afterwards).

I VOW I will allow myself this pleasure and that it will do me no harm. And yet nothing changes, I wake up the next day with puffy eyes, dull skin, feeling heavier, with an irritated bladder (which is not a good thing after five babies!) and feeling just yuck (and ending up working out for longer and harder) – its clearly a very stubborn thought form in me.

I’m training to become therapist so I’m able to utilise various tools/techniques (as well as getting supervision/therapy while doing so) and so what I do know that this one goes deeeeeep and no affirmation is going to ‘fix’ it….

I like to think I’m practicing non-resistance (most of the time) by acknowledging the entire cycle and flowing with it. I like to think that asking the part of me that is struggling ‘what do you want?’ (and getting answers!) will discharge the negative vibe around ‘forbidden pleasure’ once and for all.

Thanks for the prompt to get some more clarity around this Good Vibes people!

that dessert is 1,580 calories…but WHOSE counting? Your Dad ate half…so it was less than 800 for you. )

Many blessings,

On the last 8 mths of last year, I lost 24kg (about 52lbs) with the aid of a gr8 product that was costing me a lot of money (too much). This year ive been moreconcerned with my spiritual & creative “awakening”, to give much thought to my diet & I haven’t taken the product all year.
I don’t know why I thought this, but I thought maybe if I was on track with my creating, my weight should take care of itself! Sounds good in theory! But I guess I still have somedeep inner beliefs that say I deserve to be fat, because my body took care of re-gaining about 14lbs! Naughty Gremlins!

I have learnt enough in the past few months to agree with Jeannetw that we shoulnt have to worry about calorie & what we eat, because we get what we focus on. Thinkingabout weight attracts weight!

I recently watched “what the bleep do we know” DVD which stated that negativity shuts down cell receptors which has a bigger impact on our health than what we eat! Wow, did I understand that correctly? The best diet in the world won’t be a permanent solution if we are not positively, deliberately creating a healthy slim body!

Yes, I think we actually agree that we choose the families that we come into. My guess is that they are there to help us learn lots of spiritual lessons.

For example, if one is related to a very negative person, this contrast can really help aid spiritual growth.

Robin,

I COMPLETELY agree that the Abraham-Hicks information is incredible.

On another note I myself don’t like dessert, but people don’t believe me when I pass it up! They most often think I’m depriving myself when I simply have a lighter, natural palete. Go figure.

*Well I guess that everywhere we go, it is our very purpose – another lesson and a potential other blog post or GVU thread from Master Maw!?

Underestimating others and what they are ready to hear, interesting point Jeannette. And really why do we worry about that, if it doesn’t fit they won’t put it on.

Recently my Mom has been hallucinating about homeless bums up the hill stealing tools from my husband’s shop site. Okay embarrassing to share but you know it could happen (but we are in the country with woods in the backyard). To humor her and to keep it safe for her I insisted my husband take a look. Nothing was taken or moved and in his matter of fact, black and white way told her so.

What she says to me, was I hallucinating? I say nothing being the coward I am. But I watch the wheels
turn as she thinks about it and then turfs the idea out.
I confess it cracks me up.

The calories and the exercise didn’t make the difference. Positive or negative.

Thanks for seeing and mentioning the carefree attitude – I’m putting a spotlight on that for future benefit.
