Hi-

I post this each year but I am getting off to a late start this year.
😉❤️
I wanted to add a reminder for the holiday season as this is the time of year that the whole country loses its mind and tries to take us with them!!

From the moment Halloween hits and until Super bowl Sunday you will have people ask you "why are you watching what you are eating" or they will say "Just wait until January like everyone else does!"

First, as we all know this is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change.
And guess what!? You can have the best of both worlds during this season!! You can lose weight and still enjoy the holiday season.
If we have 31 days in December and only 8 events... we still
have 23 days to have clean amazing eating therefore we have the best of both worlds!! We can and will enjoy the holiday season and still lose weight if that is the goal or keep a healthy lifestyle going if that is the goal. Either way it is a win, win for us during this season.

So yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he said to enjoy your holiday season and not to lose your mind like the rest of the country!
Happy holidays and again, I am grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful people inside and outside this group.

My sincere gratitude goes out to each of you.

Hi I usually post to our TorChell Mind and Body Support group but felt that this post would be great to share here as well!

How are you doing during these trying times? I am asking because it is of course change and change can make or break many of us.

We in this group are not on a diet, but instead on a journey towards better health. It keeps coming up that one needs to be as healthy as they can in order to fight this virus if you happen to contract it. Please keep up with your journey on eating the right foods and getting your Vitamin C as mentioned earlier, along with
Vitamin D Please take a look at the many studies, reminding us how important it is for our immune system.

I have heard from a few of you that it is hard to stay on track with the stress that is currently happening in the world. Please, please, please, remember that this isn’t all or nothing now during these difficult times
or when we are not having difficult times. But instead it is learning to find a happy place with foods that sustain us and give us a healthy, strong body, and foods that make us feel energized and satisfied.

Some of us are eating because of nerves, boredom and comfort. If we are eating due to emotions, we would benefit from focusing on finding a nonfood method for coping with stress.

One of the biggest things that could help many of us is to not beat ourselves up when we do allow ourselves to eat things that we may deem otherwise unhealthy. Accept that we will have obstacles and make a plan of action for regrouping when an obstacle gets in our way.

Put faith in you and not a diet. Believe that you are making the right choices for yourself and your body. Your body will tell you when something is not working for it. Let your body speak to you and learn to listen to it. When we do this we make healthier choices and when we make healthier choices we have less anxiety over food.

Emotions change daily and sometimes hourly, therefore it can be hard to stop in the moment when the emotions steer you towards food. If emotions are running the show with your food choices, it may be time
to use your inner dialogue. Ask yourself first why are you reaching for the food is it a physical or emotional hunger? If you find that it is an emotional hunger use your inner dialogue to sway yourself away and on to a different non-food project.

Keep in mind that being healthy is never about eliminating foods, labeling foods or shaming ourselves for eating foods that are considered “off limits” but instead it is a constant dance of finding what works for each of us individually for our own optimal health. And we will at times consume foods, alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages that may contribute to weight gain, health conditions and making us not feel good in general. If and when this does happen, breathe, be nice to yourself and then regroup.

So during these difficult times, let’s stay positive (when we can) let’s eat as clean and healthy as we can.
Exercise, drink enough water, and then repeat!

Most importantly, be kind to yourself and forgive yourself when it seems that you are heading in the wrong direction. Just stop and regroup.

Day 12!

This is very true in the realm of making a lifestyle change, particularly in the area of food.

If you tell yourself you're on a diet you place restrictions on yourself. If you look at choosing the healthier food options it is YOU that is choosing your destiny and it feels so much better knowing that YOU are not restricting yourself from foods that are making you sick, heavy and inflamed. But instead YOU are making the choices that could make you feel healthier, thinner and energized.

The journey into a healthier mind and body really does start with your thoughts and the stories that you tell yourself.

Today let us all say at least one positive thing about ourselves. 🌻

Miraculous May:

The bill certainly does come due!
While exercising is indeed necessary, if your food choices are not healthy you will not achieve the full goals that you desire.
Weight loss is a by-product of a healthy body.

The bill comes due from the nightly bowl of Haagen-daz, candy bars, slices of bread and of course the one or two glasses of wine.

If you're exercising and your belly seems to still look the same, maybe it's time to check to see if you have an outstanding bill!

The body certainly is miraculous! And let's try to keep it that way.
For those with candida... We are always trying to find the best candida suppressor and there is a different one that seems to offer even more than flora cleanse to help with this journey. I'm so excited to find a new product to help with this little monster!

Remember candida has been medically proven to cause inflammation, crohn's disease, diverticulitis as well as many autoimmune disorders. So, please take it serious and defeat it!
