A warm Hello to all  What if we all loved food (all kinds), totally and without condition? Would food love us back? How would our body react to the bliss of wholly happy tastebuds? Would the relationship be flowing, balanced, and healthy? Most people that I know LOVE FOOD. I have noticed that many people in our society choose to battle with it, as opposed to enjoying every single morsel as a gift. Alot worry about ingredients. Others about body weight. Some seem to be living a constant struggle, which often lasts a lifetime. What if food was great for you, just because you were thrilled to eat it? Would this be mind over matter? What do you think the result would be? Delicious Hugs to everyone |

what a wonderfully uplifting thought, Kerry! I love the thought of that...having been on a diet since 1st May 2006 and lost 33lbs...i still feel as if I am battling...although it didnt feel like that to begin with and the weight dropped off...I felt optimistic, positive and happy because I was treating food as if it was just like fuel and not a comforter...I always comfort eat, and chocolate I performed aversion therapy on and I cant eat at all, now, lol....but loving it would be wonderful its just that my relationship with it right now is so ambiguous I dunno how I feel!
Love and Light

Aaaah Food,
Why is it we all have this relationship with food.
Our bodies know exactly what we need when it comes to food. How often do you girls get a craving for dark meat or dark greens when we have had heavy periods and need the Iron. How often does our body make us crave for foods that provide the minerals and vitamins our bodies are lacking.
For me, my problems with food arise from the fact that food actually calms me when I am anxious. When I feel unwell, if I eat something I immediately feel better. If I am feeling happy, I reward myself with a bar of my favourite chocolate or a piece of my favourite cake. If I feel really sad, I cheer myself up, with a bar of my favourite chocolate or a piece of my favourite cake...lol get the picture!!!! I don't drink or smoke, so I guess, I use food as my treat. My problem with my weight is not because I eat too much, because as a rule, I don't. My problem is not enough exercise!!! There is a saying, "You should EAT to LIVE not LIVE to EAT" How true is that!!
If we could just enjoy our food without feeling guilty then oh, what a wonderful world it would be!!! Sheer bliss!!!

ohh dear kaz, we all go through this!!!Your diffently not alone!! I do the samething. One thing that helps me is I get myself moving and then I say aloud that I love healthy foods, I eat to nourish and energize my body with only healthy foods, I Love and approve of my self. I have a thin, strong, healthy body that I love. I love and approve of my self. I drink lots of water to clense my mind ,body ,and soul, I love and approve of myself. LOL im sure you get the picture. Its like useing universal energy to keep online and be kind to yourself, all along keeping the picture of yourself they way you want to be. Sometimes its easier than others but it helps to go for a walk outside or be doing some activity. I always know though that when its that time of month im gonna have some chocolate,lol. Bless You hun and get those pictures running!!! The universe will respond!! Lots of Love and Light!!!! jess

Why this post ? At the age of six, I remember that a close relative had made a comment to me about "my buldging tummy" as I was proudly posing for a picture in my very first bikini. I never knew what a "tummy" was, until that very moment. I suddenly looked down at my mid-section to find what they were pointing to. Alas.....I got the message. From that day forward, I REMEMBERED "MY TUMMY". I have always LOVED FOOD  Food to me, is one of my greatest pleasures. But because of that magical day, I never looked at food with the same fervor that I once did. As I grew up, I learned about diets, I learned about restraint, I learned to deny that little girl inside of me the full pleasure of eating, as she once did. Like alot of people, I had become careful, and aware of everything that I was putting into my body. I still loved food, but I was taught that it wouldn't necessarily love me back. I would have to be mindful of what I chose to eat, and how much. I never did diet. Something inside of me said that if I denied my desires completely, I would want those things twice as bad as before..... But I did moderate my choices, and sometimes skipped the little extra that I would have loved to eat so much............ A few years ago, I was angry. I started to think of all the reasons why I would sometimes say, "No thank-you". I then realized that I had jumped onto the boat of popular beliefs. I had joined the masses of people who probably forgot, as I did, how food was wonderfully fun and delicious as a young child. The boat was full of diets, full of "No thank-you's", full of "I watching my weight" and absolutely.....no fun...... I decided to fly off the boat, with a new set of wings, and set myself free. I would create my own set of truths, in all freedom. I would return to the little girl inside of me, to tell her that I would shower her with the gift that was ripped away from her, so long ago. I would not ever deny her anything again.......She would be as she once was, free to fully enjoy the gift of glorious food. I was kind to her, and I told her that I was sorry.... That today, I would turn to the next page in our story, the one we'll share together..... The page of Pleasure and Freedom....The page of "Absolutely, I would love another piece". The page of no more worries......... The page that says, "If you truly love something, it will always love you back". That is what is written in my story today. I have opened the most precious of all gifts, the gift of being me. No more chains, no more shackles.........I LOVE FOOD......That is part of who I truly am  Many gentle Hugs to the little child inside of you |

wow, tp, what an incredible story and so inspiring and uplifting...I can relate to Karen, too, and also to Jess...I wonder where I am on this scale....well, all being well, I feel as if my spiritual growth is facilitated by my physical growth, or not as the case may be...i.e. as soon as I lost all the weight which was quite literally weighing me down physically, mentally and spiritually, I started to feel lighter and happier inside myself...fitter mentally and physically, which then became fitter spiritually....I love the idea of nurturing the child inside yourself by denying it nothing, but there are many ways to do that which have nothing to do with food...in particular, getting down on the floor and playing with your children, and keeping your childlike love of playing games and drawing pictures together...thats what I try to do!
I hope you all love yourself as much as Jess does...yes, it is difficult but no-one else can possibly love you as much as you do....and yeah, Karen, the iron thing is tricky!!! I love chocolate, but since the aversion therapy cannot touch the stuff!! lol.
love and Light

Hi All,
MMM food! Fish n chips with loads of salt, vinigar & red sauce! Well I love it but my body don't! We had a take-a-way and my body was not happy! It made me feel sluggish and heavy. But is it the food? or the energy that the people put into it when they are handling it? If they are rushing about stressed out, is it possible that the energy that they are carrying is absorbed into that food? Then we end up taking it on?
I must change my eating habbits! big time. God Bless you all,xxxxxxxxx

Hi,
I can't remember who said this to me, or infact it might of been on the boards.....maybe a mixture of both.(maybe even on his thread, lol, coz i havnt read the whole thing again this time as i've read it before!) But it was said that we should appriciate our food more, bless our food before we ate it, savour each mouthful.
Maybe we could go a step further....send out gratitude for the food, bless the food and cleanse it with white light/pastel shades of light....whatever comes to mind.....to heal any unpleasant energies that have been absorbed by the food.
Interesting thought, though i doubt it will remove the carbs and the fat, lol. (note to self.....stay positive and hopeful!)

I adore chips with lots of salt and vinegar. Mmmm the smell sends me into raptures..But... they don't love me.  I practically fall asleep the minute I eat it, Zanna. I'm not kidding..I just want to crawl into my bed and go to sleep. So I guess its the carbs sweetie, you are probably sensitive to them, as I am. Pasta has the same affect on me. Never mind, we can always have a good sniff. Lots of love Karen |

God Bless hun,xxxxxxxxx

For all the food & drink that we recieve please let it be blessed with God's divine white light and please bless the people who helped to produce the food & drinks too. So if there are any negative energy's they will be transmuted into a pure white light of divivne love.
Thank you
Amen,xxx

hey guys, just drink lots and lots of water and you are laughing...it is as if you are regenerating your cellular structure...okay, you need some food too, but often we are thirsty instead of hungry and the water manages to take care of all that, making you feel full and quenching your thirst.
love and light
