This was in my inbox this morning from First 30 Days. This is an e-mail about change that i get everyday. With my recent vow to myself to get rid of a lot of the negativity and stinkin' thinkin' in my life, I found this VERY appropriate. So I wanted to share in the hopes that maybe it helps or speaks to some of our group!

Sing and Laugh Your Way to a Slimmer Waistline

 

If you want to lose weight, get in harmony with your inner self and find the joy in life. "People eat and eat because they're unaware of their inner spirit and power, so they feed the emptiness," suggests renowned spiritual teacher and author, Carmen Grenier. "Your physical body won't want as much food if you start feeding your soul and your unmet needs."
 
Instead of following the next diet craze, Grenier suggests doing whatever it takes to feel a sense of joy in your life. For example, sing and laugh. "These are two sacred toys of the heavens and a way to deprogram negative thoughts," she says. "Both are more effective than any diet."
 
According to Grenier, when you get rid of negative emotion—regrets, unexpressed communication, guilt, fear and anger—addictions to food go away, too. "Put your thoughts on a diet," she advises.

Well honey if i had to sing for my food, I  would be skinny.....

Ahem (clearing throat) mi mi mi mi....hey, it was a thought!! LOL  Funny, but for the past couple of weeks that I have been trying this positive thing, I feel different! Whatever it takes, I'm gonna try and it's hard as hell, because my family tends to be very negative as do the folks I work with.  I'll just have to work harder!!!!

You're one day closer to Tyler Baby!!!!!! Many hugz and prayers for your trip tomorrow!

Good thoughts.  I do agree with Tara though, oh goodness gracious you don't want me to sing for my food......my family would be putting duck tape over my mouth, lol......now that's a thought.

I agree Gina, negativity does make for a bad day, I try everyday to look at the bright side of life.......I know I have lots to be thankful and grateful for, we just must look at those things and that glass as half full!
