Trying to lose weight
Posted by Intuition Girl
Dear Joan Marie,
I have been trying for a long time to lose weight but I love food too much and find it really, really hard. I get to a level then I treat myself and gain a few pounds all over again. I find it to be really hard to do and I could use some helpful hints and thoughts. Maybe you know of a magic pill that will get my head in the right direction?
I hope to hear from you,
Frieda Harris
Answer
Dear Frieda:
Believe me, I know how you feel and I am sure there are many others out there that can commiserate with you. This is a worldwide problem and the only solution that I can offer you is this: You are the problem and you are the solution! Now don’t get angry with me.
One of the primary motives why people may want to lose weight is for health purposes. Over eating of food is an addiction. It takes effort, willpower, and a 360-degree change in behavior and your mindset in order to be able to win the battle. The main reason as to why some folks do not succeed in resolving this addiction is because it’s difficult to stop doing all the things they’re accustomed to doing. They’ve become complacent with the normalcy of how they’ve trained themselves to think and live.
Whether we choose to drink too much, eat too much, or smoke cigarettes – it is a choice that we have made for ourselves. The good news is that life offers us many choices. While we may have made one choice, we can easily make another choice to undo the harm that we may have created for ourselves.
Are you prepared to re-train your thinking? When you set your mind into transformation mode, you are ready to redesign your destiny and live the life you’ve always wanted to live. Changing our behaviors takes commitment, dedication and a willingness to reshape our mindset into believing that we CAN accomplish what it is we want.
Truly, if you are steadfast in changing your thoughts, you can change your life. Are you ready to go the distance and transform your thinking today? When you finally make the decision to look, feel and be thinner, you will be rewarded with a healthier, happier and more successful lifestyle. You can be successful when you take the first step to achieving your goals – change your thoughts for a better you! Start observing the way thin people eat, exercise and behave…you just might find a role model to follow.
Until we speak again, I am

Coping with a loved one’s addiction
Posted by Intuition Girl
I have been living with an on and off drug user for seven years and I’ve finally decided to leave him although he is not using his drug of choice for almost nine months now. I just don’t feel safe. Am I doing the right thing while he is off his drug of choice? I don’t want to wait for another relapse.
Thank you for letting me share.
Blessings,
Jeannie G.
Dear Jeannie
Thank you for having the courage to write me. It is not my job to ever tell you or another what to do. It is my job to show you how you can see the truth for yourself and see the strength inside of you to make the decision that is best for you.
First and foremost, you must always follow your feelings, they are always right. Second of all, I suggest that you listen to your heart. The question that you need to ask is: The feelings that you are experiencing with your boyfriend on a daily basis—do they feel good to you? Are you excited to be with him on a regular basis? You also must have clarity with what it is you are looking for in life. The only way your boyfriend is going to change completely and stop using drugs is if he makes peace with the reason’s why he needed to have the addiction in the first place.
You must value you, and make you a priority and understand that you can decide your fate because you do have choices. Never stay in any one place because of money or need for dependency or security. When we take our greatest risks and feel comfortable with who we are that is when we can make our decisions from strength and courage. Then the end result is heaven sent. I hope that helps.
