What makes me so hungry, I wanna feel full!!!

Okay, so I’m not a person who goes out and indulges in a big chocolaty brownie because I know that I will want to eat the whole batch, if I do. In fact, I am the healthiest, most disciplined person I know. "So I thought…"

I always thought I was only keeping weight on because I was eating too many calories worth of healthy foods and not pushing myself hard enough in the gym. Well, this was partly true, but there is a WHOLE other side of the equation.

The actual root of the problem was that my body wasn’t producing enough grhelin and I had too much leptin. Grehlin, being the chemical hormone in the brain that signals us when we are hungry and leptin the hormone that tells us we are full. Okay, hang in there with me. I know this is getting a little too technical.

So, I think I am doing all the right things except I just need to control my calorie-intake right? Wrong! I was hungry all the time because my T4 , one of the three thyroid hormones, was too low and when any of your hormones are off, the entire body is off. My "hormonal symphony,” as Jillian Michaels puts it in “Mastering your Metabolism” was not balanced and therefore one thing threw off EVERYTHING!

At this point, I am so frustrated and confused I began researching, visiting and questioning every doctor under the sun and finally it hit me!

First off, the “mind-body connection” is so powerful that you literally cannot function properly without them both in harmony. There is a cause and effect thing happening between the hormones in the brain that directly correlate with your thoughts and emotions and so on. At this point, it was “God help me before I peel over!”

I slowly began taking control of what I could have control of at that very moment which were my thoughts. In the mean time my physician insisted that I see her for blood tests every month. My doctor slowly began increasing and tweaking the perfect formula to have my hormones symphonizing the most heavenly melody you can imagine. I never gave up; I remained DETERMINED and PERSISTANT, with the process and it paid off…BIG!

I had no idea how much suffering I had caused the people around me with my relentless emotional roller-coaster but I steadily began clearing any emotional harm I had caused by explaining the circumstances and asking for forgiveness.

Today, I am so relieved to tell you that there is relief to this madness and it’s NOT completely out of your control. You just have to be willing to get up and change! First off, read “Mastering
Your Metabolism, for the love of Pete, and I got you covered with the “emotional baggage stuff.”

Here are some suggestions:

Find joy out of the small things like watching old 80’s movies and sipping hot tea with your love-interest or just yourself.

...Learn to enjoy being with you.

Read a good book. Make a four course meal for yourself. Take a long walk down a path you have never been to. Take a long luxurious bubble bath. Treat yourself to a facial, massage or mani/pedi.

Try attending Inspirational, encouraging, uplifting, eye-opening, experiential events.

Attend a Self-discovery seminar like:
M3 Education
Landmark
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

or a Women's seminar and/or Convention.

...Your friends and loved ones will thank you and you will finally be able to look in the mirror and genuinely love what you see.


You have to fall in love with yourself again and rediscover your self-worth if you want to make an emotional, behavioral and EVEN physical change.
