Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm also lacking a " full " switch. I can eat basically non-stop all day without blinking and without feeling uncomfortable. That's not a problem during the week on BFL because you're eating set portions every 2-3 hours. Hunger and fullness don't play a big role in your meal planning because if you make good choices, you should be walking around feeling " just right " most of the time. You do have to make sure that your portions don't start mysteriously expanding and that you don't start adding gobs of extras (salad dressing, cream cheese, pretzels, peanut butter, etc.). The main problem for people with no " full " switch is free day. PLAN your free day. Decide what delicious treats you most want to eat and make sure that's exactly what you have. Don't eat mindlessly all day. People with no " full " switch can totally wreck their calorie deficit for the week and stall their progress.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Oooh I can relate. I never eat because I'm hungry. I eat because it's time - I'm happy, sad, bored, to celbrate, it tastes good, to sabatage myself, because I suffer from an overactive fork and more reasons I haven't thought of. LOL I know all the answers I just don't do them UGH!!! Bridgette > > Is anyone else missing the switch that tells your brain when your > stomach is full? I seriously did not come with this feature.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 For help with this issue I've found the perfect solution. Eat what your BFL amount of food would be then pop a piece of sugar free gum as a signal to stop eating. It will help you stop picking at what you don't really want in the first place. I go to Sam's and buy several flavors of Orbit or Icebreakers in the bulk packages. I'm sure others find it annoying that I'm chewing like a cow all day but if it works I'm sticking with it. Try it.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 That may help put an end to continual grazing! I actually read an article the other day that said that chewing gum could possibly increase the amount of calories you burn in a day. It is worth a try. Mostly my concern with not having the switch is the fact that if you don't have the indicator that says when a person is full and if a person you suffers from emotional eating, like I do, geez it just makes binge eating EASIER! Normally when a person binges, they feel sick or full after hogging down large quantities of food. I never get that feeling of full. I even amaze myself sometimes at just how much I can throw down. Sad, very sad indeed. I will try the gum idea though and I welcome your suggestion! Thank you. >>> s_bachrach@... 03/10/05 3:59 AM >>> For help with this issue I've found the perfect solution.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 So far, the consensus is to plan our free day very carefully, chew gum and drink more water. I'll give it a try!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I too never feel full, I actually never feel hungry either. I'm totally. Once I start a binge, I feel like I'm just shoving food in my mouth not even tasting it. and unfortunately I think I do that everyday, as I haven't been very successful lately. I actually don't feel like I deserve to be posting here as I haven't even been exercising lately, but I keep trying and hoping that I'll do it. (I used to have this thing down pat) UGH!!! Oh well, - I'm definitewly going to try the gum Bridcgette > That may help put an end to continual grazing!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Flip The Switch... Imagine we have an Am/Fm radio. On it we find a station we really like...let's call it life. On the Am channel, or lower frequency, we are satisfied with the thing we hear...it's fine, it works, it will get us through. We can " live " with it. However, we learn by flipping the switch over to a higher frequency, there is the very same station as the one we like, but so much clearer, even the feeling of it is better...the stereo effect. Once we spend some time listening to this new frequency, the other seems almost, well, hollow. We do still listen to it because we only have Am in our truck we drive to work, but it's when we climb into the wife's new car, with the stereo Fm we really relax, enjoy, and find comfort in " the very same thing " . If you haven't yet guessed, the " Am " channel is our everyday lives in these bodies using our ego/personality to go through life not thinking about much else. The newer car, with " Fm " is the move into our higher selves. We still live our lives as humans, facing everyday as it comes, but we do it from a deeper place. But wait...as we begin to do this, we come to find out that our same station does a semi-cast[sp] on TV. What was incredible has now become beyond our imagination. We can now see deeper, not just think deeper. We have changed, become even more, realized we are so much more. We do go back to the truck to go to work...our daily grind when needed, yet, even with the station playing, we are different, we " hear " and " imagine " very differently than we did before...we " know " there's more....and we realize we cruised to and from work, through our daily lives, without really noticing the static coming from the speakers we meant to, and was so important, to replace before. The trivial drops away...we expand. The difference...we got through the grind of our lives wondering if it ever gets better, and went to finding that there was a greater comfort, a better conscious understanding in the way we choose to " ride " . And as we discovered that, we were attracted to the knowing that we could just sit in this knowing, going deeper to find out everything we wanted to know would be brought to us, simply by focusing...the pictures becoming clear. Ask any question and pay attention, the answer will ALWAYS appear. It could be a post, a bulletin, an email, the next web site you go to, the next thing you hear on the radio, or TV, the next thing someone says. If you don't find this true, you have not posed your question correctly, revise it...and look. It WILL be there. Here's a little fun experiment...grab the TV remote. Ask a question in your mind.....see your question and know your going to receive the answer. Now, do whatever feels comfortable for you...like, go to every third channel for 10 seconds, and keep changing every 10...listen. The easier way is to close your eyes and hit the mute button every 3 seconds...put it on a station where they are talking a lot. Give it a few tries to get the idea of how this works. The thing that's important to learn is EVERYTHING is responding to YOU. It is YOU that everything in your awareness is responding to. Give it a few minutes, a day, a week, a month. I dare you. My God, if you were only aware of your true power you'd jump out of your skin this second....but stay in, it's more fun. Oh, one other thing...it's impossible to use your powers to harm or hurt...they can only be use to help others...and they in turn help you.

Hi , Great post! What you said above is totally TRUE. I had a period of almost two months in a vastly higher state, when literally EVERYTHING was created "just for me". I'd glance at the paper, and the words were personalized, then tune into the radio and a rap station would be playing angelic music, etc. It was absolutely astonishing... for a bit. My "mind" adjusted rapidly, and miracles occurred daily. I was moving or at such a "frequency" (speed) that at one point I saw trees being created from scratch! Literally everything was coming into existence anew, and nothing was repeated or "old". Kind of like perpetual "refresh" on the computer. I'm going to see if I can try holding this awareness, and see if it can manifest more clearly, today. Maybe the only thing blocking it is my "sleep" and non attention to it. I view that experience as precious. Alas, it got to be overbearing and "too much" for my wiring to handle, and slowly the state receded, but the awesome memories and feeling of it never have. I suspect this is a higher state of consciousness, which already exists within 4D that many tap into or live from daily now. I consider myself (and all of us, really) to be "in the awakening process", as it's a shifting continuum which presently is a bit beyond my control. This is why it's so valuable to communicate with others; we are like light switches; when most of us are "off", the one that's "on" can remind us. Then, for a tiny moment, as long as we can be in that space, we're awakened and "on". I spent many years studying G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ousepensky, and even joined an "esoteric school" to learn how to "awaken". It turned into a cult, but the valuable experiences remain wth me today. Thank you for your en light ening post!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 It's fun and a bit un-nerving at times to realize this is REALLY taking place. Just over the past two weeks I was ready to cut open my cable boxes and find the reason people were using my name in vain...lol You've heard about the " powers that be " installing mics and cameras in all the newer computers, cell-phones, and cable boxes, so they can watch you watching TV in your own living room...hehe nananananana. There was a story about a year ago where a woman at a cable company stumbled on a secret room at her company where employees were watching people in their living rooms...don't know how much of that was true, and I use to do cable...and by the way ALL of these new digital converter boxes coming out for the change over ARE cam and mic equipped...take one a part and check it out..interesting huh. Anyway, every time the TV was on I kelp noticing that every TV show, even every commercial had my name in it. I'm talking actor and charters. It's like " " , " Hey " ...this and that...as if maybe there was a mic turned on or something, and using what it heard as a marketing tool to me...with the tech in these things now, it's not out of the question....but... That's not why I included that as it relates to how " we are creating " everything in every moment, and are just now becoming aware of it. And the more " we choose " to hold that awareness, and deepen it, we'll see this " in every moment " . There's just this one thing I can't figure...this living room looks like a tornado hit it...books and papers everywhere, boxes that " were " being sorted, notes to myself on everything....I know it was clean, I'm sure of it...I cleaned it...something happened. I suppose I could strike it up to distilling words into my posts from it, but like oranges, it just leaves a big sticky mess. I've intended for " someone " to clean this up but no one wants to show up. Just means I still have some work to do to increase my powers....geez, I guess that leaves the old fashioned way...if my mind looks anything like this room, oh boy. It's still fun.... --- In , Zany Mystic <zanymystic@...> wrote: > > said: > > The thing that's important to learn is EVERYTHING is responding to YOU. > It is YOU that everything in your awareness is responding to.
