Even fat people can make money selling weight loss!

Every where you look and every person you speak too has an opinion or a "proof" of what works and what doesn't work. Just like everyone has a judgement about something.
It has gotten so bad that we even listen to people still overweight. People who have only lost a couple of pounds become experts. (No judgement on your weight loss here guys and girls. Great job) on what works and doesn't work.
I on the other hand believe that a professional. An expert is someone who has maintained their weight for years and understands what the body needs.
It becomes at the end of the day and trial and error kind of thing. Which those of us that are fat have not done before. We know what we shouldn't eat. EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY SHOULD NOT EAT! The rest well it is each and everyones individual job to figure it out.
I have had some discoveries this last two weeks...First I am doing a cleanse right now because spring has hit...That is not the only reason. I scored through the roof with Candida so I am trying to rectify this....I have come to some very clear conclusions this week though....
I was obsessing about food for a long time and it seems it got worse as I started working on loosing weight....I am working on food being what I need not what I want because there is a huge difference... ( IF I WASN'T a FOOD ADDICT BEFORE I BECAME ONE FOR SURE)
I am not longer calorie counting...Now this does not mean I am not being careful, but if I am not adding sugar and high carbs to my diet I should not need to worry about calories....I am eating only healthy food and working on getting rid of Candida. I am discovering that my body needs nourishment not calories. If it worries that I am starving it then it will store and if it understands that I am giving it everything it needs! not wants then it can let go of the storage....
It is like human nature really...If we think their will be a shortage we stalk up...then when we are free from worrying we use what we have and or give it away.....I am going to start treating my body like my mind...
I tend to throw things out if they are dusty and no longer of any use to me...If I feed my body the way it needs then it can throw away that old dusty fat sitting just collecting more crap.....
I think that weight loss is a mind over matter thing. I have gotten my share of migraines between all the different ways a person should eat, should count, should need....
My body needs healthy food. It needs iron and vitamins and it needs to be given fresh air and clean and taken care of... SO it has been a ruff two weeks but all in all I am on the road to doing much better....
