But he also said, becoming conscious of what you put into your mouth can start very small, with even as little as 2 weeks.. So I thought, two weeks seems easy to do.. That is why I want to invite you to look, together with me, at what we eat and do for the following two weeks. Just look and notice if the thoughts you have about yourself are nourishing or they put you down. Look at the food on your plate: is going to build muscles and make your body feel good - or do you eat it just for the fleeting seconds that it's touching your tong?.. You can also experiment with the Tim Ferriss method and take a picture every time something would land in your mouth.. Although, I believe that it's important to also look at the other stuff like the emotional or the physical activity we do or not do, the friendhips we have or not have.. That said, here under my blogs for day 5 and, as usual, invite you to join me. green smoothie and ignition day5

I have been trying to lose weight my entire life. I tried diets, and now I don't believe in them. Unless you are an actress or model, I don't think it is feasible to never eat a slice of bread or ice cream for the rest of your life. So I have been trying to change my eating habits instead. I have tried to write down everything that goes in my mouth and this exercise, when done for a long period of time, is very revealing. Ioana's idea to take photographs of everything you eat is even more visual, however I find it a little more disruptive to my daily routine than writing down, usually in an electronic document, what I eat. I have also been on and off on a spiritual path for a while, and when things go well meditation and centering of myself falls of the priority list. It shouldn't. I eat well, lost of salad and raw foods without having a raw diet. I am not into green smoothies yet, but I plan on getting there. I have a busy job which I am lucky to enjoy, but which spoils my Laura time a lot. I also have a 3.5 year old, but others have 5 children so I should not blame my lack of commitment to certain life changing activities to the time spent with my daughter. In any case, I wanted to thank Ioana for her inspirational thoughts, videos, recipes and suggestions. Good luck to everyone who is trying to make small or bigger changes in their life without going into another extreme and without forgetting to enjoy life with everything that it brings, even a slice of chocolate cake every now and then! :)
