addiction/suppression

it's amazing the connection we have to food

our associations with contentment

happiness

joy

pleasure

excitement

even companionship

sugar

salt

grease

carbs

processed "goodies"

my my......the power of suppression that food holds

INCREDIBLE

you are feeling something and what do you know

the next thing you know

your head is in the fridge

WHO HAS BEEN THERE?

the addiction i have felt to food is ridiculous

"i know this is bad for me"

"i know i dont need this right now"

"i know that i doing this because my mind is telling me not to"

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

being a nutritionist

working with blood sugar stabilization

eating every 3 hours

food is your life

food/meal planning takes over

you can plan properly

or you can let food rule your life

once you realize that food is fuel

not pleasure

or a stress reliever

then you can really face your problems

SUGAR

CAFFINE

ALCOHOL

NICOTINE

all effect Brain Chemistry

our emotions

and sugar

"The Society of Neuroscience claims drugs,

such as morphine, and sugar act on the same pleasure receptors

in the brain which makes certain individuals want more of the substance."

two brain chemicals,

serotonin and beta-endorphin,

tend to be lower in sugar sensitive individuals.

These two chemicals can influence your mood and energy levels.

They make us feel mellow, content, and even help block pain

similar to the way you feel at the end of a GREAT workout!

withdrawals can lead you to feel emotional, depressed & just out of whack!

Eating sugar increases the release of these brain chemicals,

but the effect this has in a sugar sensitive person can be dramatic. Sugar can make the sugar sensitive person feel giddy, confident, lively, talkative, and other symptoms similar to having too many alcoholic drinks!

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW YOURSELF FOR REAL?

thoughts become more clear

your body will start to function properly

things will start to happen

many issues will probably surface

this is your chance to get to the root of the problem

you can conquer this!

AS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ONCE SAID TO ME

"GO OUTSIDE

LAY IN THE GRASS

STARE AT THE SKY

AND WAIT FOR THE EARTH TO MOVE"

IF YOU CAN SIT WITH YOURSELF

THE PROCESS HAS BEGUN

BE STILL

LISTEN

& START TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
