That’s sometimes an issue for me. The biggest challenge I face when trying to change a lifetime of entrenched habits is that ‘habit’ keeps pulling me back.
That is true for most of us. So much of how we operate is on a subconscious level. That is one of the reasons that people often seem a little obsessed when they are attempting to change a habit. It’s because in order to change something you have been doing for so long that it is second nature, you actually have to drag it to your conscious mind and really THINK about it in order to change it.
That is what I have been experiencing this past week. Read the rest of this entry »

I was surfing through some of the sites in the Be Naturally Well Community and thought I would share some of the articles I found. I think I will do this regularly. There are a lot of great author’s out there!
From Robin Plan
Do you know how supersized foods and drinks came about? Think it was McDonald’s? You’re not too far off but no it wasn’t McDonald’s or 7-11 with the Big Gulp.
The history of Supersizing:
In the 1960’s a man named David Wallerstein worked for a chain of movie theaters, where he struggled to expand sales of soda and popcorn, the high-markup items that theaters depend on to make profits.
Wallerstein tried everything he could think of to boost sales, two-for-one deals, matinee specials, but found he couldn’t get customers to buy more than one soda and one bag of popcorn. Why? Because going for seconds makes people feel like pigs.
Wallerstein discovered ……Read More
From Althea Hughes Wills:
I love the Food Network. I love food, food, food…but raw vegan food because I know that is what’s best for me. But…when I watch Food Network, I’m always thinking, "how can I vegan-ize that?" And since my husband and kids are still cooked vegans, anything that calls for chicken can easily become tofu. (And I was SO happy yesterday when they had an episode of Rescue Chef where Dan helped a sister named Zion in the kitchen. Everything was vegan.)
Today my whole family watched Read More
From Tom Rooney:
Have we finally reached the point where we “as a society” can’t control our weight? The disturbing trends of overweight Americans is an epidemic now and there is no clear change in sight. Today’s people have gotten to the point where things are too convenient. Fast food, comfortable cars, video games, and remote controls have made our life so easy that we don’t do the things our parents and grand parents did in order to control weight gain.
I blame the start of this all on McDonalds as Read More
From EJ Cooksey:
We all know it’s necessary, but we don’t want to get up early in the morning to do it.
What is this "it" I’m talking about?
It is exercise and it is essential for a long and healthy life. I’m not just saying that either. Ask anyone who has lived to be sixty, seventy, and over who move better than some people half their ages. They have used exercise to turn their life around.
Exercise is getting our bodies moving and burning calories. To lose one pound, it takes a deficit of 3,500 calories. I know what you’re thinking - it might as well be a million calories. But, it is not as hard as you think. Exercise doesn’t have to be organized at a gym for it to be legitimate and to "count."
The best thing about exercise is that it is cumulative. That means Read More
From Mark:
We know as people that we all need to eat less fat but when you’re eating foods like take-away’s and eating food in restaurants there is no real way to tell how much you are exactly eating.
The only way to get a idea of the amount of fat you are eating is by reading Read More
From Carb Queen:
My favorite leader, Karen, has been enamored of Uno, the beagle, since he won best in show at the Westminster Dog Show in February. She has talked about "being the beagle" off and on since then.
I’m about to celebrate a birthday — my double-nickel to be exact — and a very good friend of mine recognized my birthday by giving me a small turtle. It’s heavy for its size, which makes it just perfect for dropping into a pocket to fiddle with or holding while on the phone with a computer user (I do tech support, among other things, for a living) who is having trouble with a Word document. When I opened this marvelous little package, my friend told me to "be the turtle."
I knew immediately what she meant: Read More
From Cynthia:
Monday could’ve gone better for me…
The good part is simple, a one pound loss!
The bad, well, I went too hard in the pool, aggravated upper right arm and shoulder again. Had no idea until this morning when I could barely move it. Gack! New goal… go a little easier for a bit. I do not HAVE to do my water aerobics like I’m on speed! Though that will take some of the fun out of it!
But then there’s the UGLY. Apparently, my body was just raving for calories and when I Read More
