Amazing Body Now

HI Andrea,

So I’m having a really bad day. I imagine that the path to becoming healthy isn’t easy…but today was especially hard. I have been aware that I am not in the physical shape that I would like to be in for, well, as long as I can remember. Thanks to you, I (and so many other women) are able to take the steps necessary to correct our health and turn our bodies into something more amazing than what they already are.

I have been enrolled in your summer coaching course and I have had your e-book maybe a month before that. I feel like I am slowly making progress. I have cut out dairy and wheat almost entirely from my system and I am feeling much better.

Well, today at work (I work at Trader Joe’s) I had a lady ask me when my baby was due. I haven’t been so hurt by words since 6th grade when Kyle McCabe chased me into the dugout and called me fat until I cried. I held it in until I got home, but I haven’t stopped crying since I walked in the door. I’m only twenty one. And this lady thought I was fucking pregnant. After trying so hard to be conscious of my body for almost two months now, I felt completely reaffirmed that I am not making progress. Its like beyond being offended…my heart hurts. And to top it off I ate a cookie today that I knew I didn’t even want but I ate it anyways. It was chalk full of eggs, milk, and wheat and the thought of it makes me nauseous because my body doesn’t want to eat that stuff anymore.

I’ve e-mailed you once before…about meditation. But yeah, I feel awful and I felt like you were the only person that could really understand where I’m coming from. I’m not giving up. But I feel just so bad. I have been trying to make sure to get my yoga in lately too (I do a trade exchange at a yoga studio here in Santa Barbara so I get free classes whenever I want). I feel like I know everything that you are saying in your coaching course, it’s just a matter of being patient with things. I’m not fat. I’m just really out of shape. I’m not expecting to wake up tomorrow and have a model-like body, but on days like today I can’t help but feel like ‘why can’t I just be resting inside of a body that I like looking at?’. It’s funny too, because I I think I have a pretty face, but it (and the rest of my body) is coated in this layer of chub, and I know that everyone else sees that too. Unfortunately living at this age, in a place that’s so superficial like Santa Barbara, just being beautiful isn’t enough. It’s almost like you have to be hot and sexy to matter. I know that’s kind of extreme, but it’s kind of realistic too.

Did it really take you 5 years to have the body you have? God, I just feel like waiting that long is rough. And I know you can’t give me an answer to how long it will take to see a difference, because everybody’s body functions differently…but anything you can respond with to lift me up would really…really help me out right about now.

I have a sign by my bed that I look at when I wake up that says ‘i am gaining health every day as my breath and my core grow stronger’. This is probably weird, but kind of not because I feel like I can trust you; I have so much love for you. You are making all the difference in my journey to becoming the healthy person that I am longing for. Sorry for such a long letter.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Alex

Dear Alex,

I can’t promise you that this is going to be the last time you are going to be hurt or cry over your negative perception of your body… I can’t tell you how many nights I too have cried over the frustration and pain of living with a body that you are ashamed of.

As you know, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about, meditating on and studying why we as women have so much emotion wrapped up in the state of how attractive and desirable our bodies are perceived. I guess it all goes back to reproduction and if we have attractive bodies that are found desirable then literally we will have more opportunities to mate and therefore a better chance of selecting the most-desirable mate and giving our offspring a better chance of surviving. Sounds crazy when you think about it like that, but really that’s the animal brain and evolution at work inside of us.

But all of that doesn’t make any difference when you are caught up feeling the self-worth of having a negative body image. And here’s what I would say to you if you were standing right in front of me… Focus on the positive.

Look at all that you are doing for your body and for your whole SELF - you are practicing yoga regularly, you have stopped poisoning your body with dairy and wheat, you are learning how to breathe deeply and use your breath to connect to your highest SELF, you ARE on the path of discovering what it takes to be healthy for a LIFETIME.

I know that it’s hard to stay committed to a journey that you hate, and so therefore you should remind yourself DAILY of what you love about this. Write in your journal all the amazing things you are discovering about your body - new postures in yoga, new levels of energy and happiness pulsing through you, not craving foods that you used to be addicted to… there are so many things to be PROUD of about your body RIGHT NOW.

And when you focus on these things, the craziest thing starts to happen… your body starts to reward you for all the LOVE you are pouring into yourself every day. Your body WILL transform. First, the INSIDE of you - your internal universe where your spirit and your heart and your emotions and mental thoughts all live - this changes first.

The best thing about this kind of Inside-out transformation is that once you are “tuned up” on the inside… your outside will become a reflection of that and it will stay that way forever. So you will never have to worry about rebounding and gaining all the weight back again. I can’t tell you how many women WISH they learned how to do this when they where 21 because they have spent decades losing weight and gaining it back and hating their bodies more and more in the process.

You are breaking free from that destructive, self-hating cycle. Imagine the years of struggle you are saving yourself by learning all of this NOW? You are on the right path. And the key to staying on it is to remind yourself of the bliss, love and joy you are getting from it each and every day.

You are such an amazing person full of so much light and love. And when things get really tough for you, just do what I always do and think about how many people you will be able to help through the same struggle because YOU’VE ALREADY been through it too.

You have only just begun to discover the infinite and radiant bliss of your spirit that is inside of you. You will have a lifetime to go deeper and uncover more truths and a deeper awareness. Be patient with your body and with your SELF. Treat yourself like you’re own best friend and forgive yourself always. I promise you, your body will love you more for it and your transformation will happen faster.

When you turn to food to punish yourself you are trying to hurt the body that wants so much to make you proud. Give your body all the love that it deserves… with your thoughts and your actions.

And besides, for all you know… that women saw you as the glowing, healthy, radiant being that you are and thought that’s why you’re pregnant because you had that “new mommy glow”

Remember that YOUR perception is always just that. It is not truth. The truth comes from the deepest place that is inside of you, not the pain of your confused mind. Spend time connecting to that place inside of you and there you will find the truth, the peace, the light and all the love you could ever want or need.

And just in case you can’t get enough there… I’m sending you EVEN MORE light and love to surround you as you discover this journey inward.

I’m so proud of you and excited about your transformation.

Your Friend,
Love and Light,

Andréa

Are you confused about how many calories you’re
“supposed” to eat in order to lose weight?

Are you frustrated that even though you’re
following the “recommended” calorie amount…
you’re still not losing weight?

I’ve been through this crazy calorie confusion
and I know that it’s no fun.

In fact, it’s darn right depressing.

I used to carry a journal with me every where
I went and write down all the calories I was
eating all day long - that was so boring!

I hated having to do math in order to lose
weight… but I would’ve gladly made the
sacrifice if it allowed me to lose weight.

But it didn’t.

And I could never understand why.

Well, that was several years ago…

Today, I know exactly the right amount of
food to eat and exactly what kinds of food to
eat in order to get the most energy and happiness
out of every day.

And it’s amazing to me that even after all
these years, I’m still getting thinner and losing
weight all over my body.

My thighs are getting thinner.

My belly pooch is shrinking.

And even my arms are tightening up more and
more so that I can see more of the muscle
definition underneath.

So how do I do it?

You may be surprised to know that I don’t
count my calories. In fact, I don’t even know
how many calories I eat everyday.

Shocking, huh.

I mean here all the doctors and weight loss
“experts” have been claiming that in order to
lose weight you have to know the exact amount
of calories your body needs and then keep track
of it all day long…

It’s simple science they say! “Calories in
versus calories out.”

Well, then if it’s so simple… then why
doesn’t the calorie counting method work?

Think about it…

How long have you been trying to count calories
in order to lose weight?

Does it work in YOUR life?

I’m guessing not.

Because in my experience of coaching thousands
of people through this process and going through
it in my own life for years - it rarely works
for anyone.

And here’s why…

When you’re on a “count calories” diet they
are telling you that a calorie is a calorie and
that all calories are the same.

But I disagree.

>>> All Calories Are NOT Created Equally <<<

Let’s do this simple comparison of breakfast
foods:

A donut has 185 calories.

And 1/2 cup oatmeal and 3 egg whites has 191
calories.

Now if you’re ONLY counting calories, which
one would you eat?

Right.

You’d go for the donut.

But the problem is that the calories in that
donut have no nutritional value.

A donut is nothing more than sugar and fat.

And when you eat that donut, it sends your
blood sugar skyrocketing which makes you secrete
insulin and store fat…

And then you have a sugar crash, your blood
sugar drops down TOO LOW… and crave MORE
sugar to get you back up again.

So even though you are riding this sugar
roller coaster - going up and down - remember that
your body is still STARVING for nutrition.

Your body needs more than sugar and fat to
live on. So it continues to send out this
“I’m hungry” signal over and over again… which
causes you to obsess about the next time you’ll
get to eat.

And then when you do finally eat again, you’re
more likely to OVEREAT because you’re body is so
starved for NUTRITION.

Sound at all familiar?

Now compare that to if you were to start your
day with the other “high calorie” breakfast of
1/2 cup oatmeal and 3 egg whites…

The oatmeal is a whole grain - meaning it has
not been processed and stripped down leaving only
the carbohydrate behind which turns into sugar
as soon as it hits your system - as long as you
are eating WHOLE rolled oats (not those microwave,
processed kind with all the crazy chemicals)…

Then you are eating a perfect source of a
slow-burning carbohydrate.

Slow-burning carbs take longer for your body
to digest because they are still in their NATURAL
state and have all the fiber still attached.

This is a GOOD thing.

The longer it takes for your body to digest these
carbs, the slower they turn into blood sugar inside
of your system. And that prevents the blood sugar
spike that causes you to secrete insulin and store
fat.

These slow-burning carbs will give you lots of
sustained energy instead of that quick sugar rush
and then crash.

And they will speed up your metabolism because
you’re body is having to burn calories to digest
it.

This is another very good thing.

Then let’s look at the egg whites -

When you remove the yolk from eggs, you’re
throwing away all the fat and cholesterol and
you’re left with a perfect source of pure protein.

Protein is so important because every cell of
your body uses protein for lots of chemical
reactions taking place every second you are alive.

Protein also takes a long time to digest,
which keeps you full for longer and then also
speeds up your metabolism because it is using
energy to digest.

Again, this is a very good thing!

Egg whites and oatmeal is about as perfect of
a breakfast as you can eat. (I know because I’ve
been eating it for years and like I’ve already
told you - my body is continuing to transform and
lose fat everywhere).

But if I were still in the old-fashioned
mindset of “count calories” and that “all calories
are equal”… then it would look like the donut
would be the better choice.

Clearly it is not.

There is a new way of losing weight that
doesn’t require counting calories… in fact,
it discourages it!

And does this new way of losing weight work?…

When you’ve been struggling to lose weight for

struggle.

Your body starts to communicate with you on
deeper, subtler levels - telling you what it needs,
what it likes and what poisons it.

When you are “tuned in” to this awareness, you
will never have to count calories again.

In fact, you will never have to “diet” again.

You will know exactly what your body needs

year of your life.

I want this for you.

I know that you deserve this radiant, natural
health. It is your birthright and your gift for
being YOU.

Your body is perfect just the way it is.

It’s only a matter of clearing out the confusion
from your mind about what it really means to give
your SELF health.

You are already on your way.

You are growing in this new awareness every
day, with every breath.

Start listening to these subtle signals that
your body is sending you… right now.

And the more time you spend in this “tuned-in”
place, the more loved and appreciated your body
will feel.

Continue to shine your light from your highest
SELF onto every part of your body… and watch
how your body transforms and glows from within.

This is your true, radiant SELF shining through.

Until next time we connect, I’m sending you
love and light to surround you on your journey
into health.

Love and Light,

Andrea

I spend a lot of time researching weight loss stories on the internet and here’s one thing that I’ve discovered… there is a determining factor of whether or not a person is going to succeed or fail at losing weight.

If a person is obsessed with the physical body changing - always measuring their results by looking in mirrors, weighing themselves day and night and only focused on how the BODY is going to look once they lose the weight… then this is a clear sign that the person will not succeed at permanent weight loss.

And by succeeding, I mean KEEPING IT OFF.  There’s a lot of people who think that if they lose 50 pounds then they’ve succeeded, even if they gain back 60 pounds in 6 months.  This is NOT success.  This is temporary, short-term illusions of weight loss.  And the internet is full of these diet scams that shrink your fat cells for a few months, only to have them puff back up again and gain back all the weight.

But when a person is focused on the INTERNAL feelings and the INSIDE rewards that come from making healthy choices - amazing energy, clear mental focus and an overall feeling of health radiating out from the center of your being… then this is a sign that the person will succeed at KEEPING the weight off forever.

Beyond the amount of time a person commits, or how much money a person has… it is this perception of weight loss - either focused on the outside, external body or the internal universe - that determines whether a person will ultimately succeed at weight loss or continue to struggle with fad diets that never work long term.

It is my mission to connect as many people to this internal inspiration INSIDE of themselves as I possibly can.  I know that it is possible - I’ve seen that it works too many times.  I know that this is the true secret to permanent weight loss.

I have been staying up late getting ready to launch my “Skinny For Summer: How To Blast Belly Fat And Get A Flat Stomach” online coaching program. It’s opening in just 2 days! I put up a new video at the Skinny For Summer news site: http://www.skinnyforsummer.com/newspage

All the positive feedback is really fueling me forward. Such an amazing time!

Hi Andrea,

I’ve been watching your videos and find they make total sense. I just had a question regarding the yoga and thryoid. I had my thyroid removed Jan 29/08 and Feb 4/08 diagnosed with cancer. Obviously, I don’t have a thyroid so stimulating it will be hard =D. What would you suggest? I don’t mind still doing it but will it help in other areas?

Thanks!!
Cat

p.s. thanks for making this in plain english. You are amazing and inspirational.

Hi Cat,

I can’t say enough about the benefits of yoga.  Yoga cleanses your entire “internal universe” - your glands, your lymph nodes, your blood vessels, your organs, your muscles, your joints… and also brings calm and peace to your mind.  It’s an amazing practice that has been around for over 5,000 years.  There’s a reason why it has lasted so long - it works!

So yes, yoga postures will help heal your entire being - your body, mind, soul and spirit.  As for your thyroid, because you don’t have a thyroid, it will not increase thyroxin (because there is no longer a gland to stimulate it)… but it is even more important to open this part of your body because of the trauma of the surgery it has been through.  By opening the body, you bring in “space” to allow the breath to heal you.

Even though your gland is gone from your physical body, the energetic body is still there.  The throat region is a very important area of your body.  This is where a major energy channel (or chakra) is located.  This chakra is connected to your “voice” and every part of your individual self expression.

Give love and kindness to your throat center.  It has been through a lot.  Practice yoga and meditation, really try to make it a part of your life.  You will be amazed at the bliss and love you feel when your body is open and your mind is relaxed.

I love that you are still smiling even after all you’ve been through.  I can see your spirit shining through you.  You are on an amazing path.  I am sending you love and light to surround you on your path towards true, peaceful and radiant health.

Love and Light,

Have you ever lost a bunch of weight on a
diet and felt really good about yourself…

But then when you gained all the weight
back, did you blame yourself?

Did you convince yourself that it must be
YOU…

You were the reason why the diet didn’t work.

And did you feel “broken” because you can’t
lose weight no matter what you try?

I know how this feels.

That’s what I thought for a long time.

And that thinking kept me stuck.  For many
years I was afraid to try to lose weight, because
I was afraid that I would fail at it… again.

But I’m here to tell you that it’s NOT you.

You are not broken.

It is the fad diets that are broken.

They scam you into thinking you are losing
weight… but really they are making it worse.

Now you may be thinking, “But I’ve seen
people lose weight on a fad diet?”

Or maybe you’ve even lost weight on one
yourself.

But did the weight STAY OFF?

No?

Then it didn’t work.

>> Fad Diets Are Designed To Give You Temporary Results That Don’t Last <<

There is a reason why you lose weight
for a while when you are following a fad diet,
but it stops working…

And then you gain back all the weight you
lost and MORE.

But before we get into that, I want to tell
you a quick story.  I think it will help you
better understand what I’m talking about…

This past weekend, I was at a party and I
started talking to this guy that I hadn’t
seen in a few months.

I asked him, “How’s life going for you?”

And he replied, “Great! I’m losing weight!”

I said, “Oh yea?”

(And of course he had my full attention because
this is my life’s passion)…

And then he said, “Yea! I’ve lost 25 pounds in
a month on the Atkins Diet.”

“Really?”  I said.  “And how’s that going for
you?”…

He looked at me a little strangely like, “What
do you mean HOW’S it going for me?… I just told
you I’m losing weight FAST.  How could that be
anything other than great?”

But when I started talking to him more about
his feelings, his energy levels, and his day-to-day
experience on the diet…

He was miserable.

>>  Fad Diets Make You Feel “Deprived” And Like You’re “Missing Out” <<

Sure he was excited about losing weight fast,
but he definitely wasn’t radiant with happiness.

You could tell that he was really torturing
himself through it.

That is always a BIG red flag…

I’ve seen time and again that if you don’t
ENJOY the process of losing weight then you will NOT
succeed long term.

In other words, if you don’t have amazing energy,
a blissful state of mind, and feel LOVE and
appreciation for your body and your SELF while
you’re “dieting”…

Then it’s never going to keep you motivated to stick
with it for very long.

There is a process to losing weight that IS enjoyable
because it gives you amazing energy and radiant health,
It’s Here:  The Weight Loss System That You Enjoy

But when you’re miserable…

Then you’re going to be counting down the days
until you reach your “goal weight” or your 30 day
“commitment” is done.

It had only been 1 month, but already he was
dreaming about the day when it would all be over
so he could go back to living his “regular” life
once the weight was gone.

But what if he never reaches his “goal weight”?

That’s what happens when you follow these fad
diets…

You dream about the day when you will be where
you want to be, weighing the amount you want to
weigh… but you never get there.

It’s like they are holding a carrot out in
front of a donkey on a stick and the donkey keeps
walking forward thinking that he will one day be
able to eat that carrot.

That’s how the fad diets keep you on them for
so long because they promise you a “goal” that
you will never get to.

And do you want to hear the craziest part of
this whole thing?

This wasn’t his first time on the Atkins Diet.

>> When Following Fad Diets Becomes An Addiction <<

He had followed it less than 2 years ago and
“lost a bunch of weight”… but then he gained
it ALL back and MORE.

Now this really is the most dangerous part.

I understand when people do this or think
this way because I used to think this way too.

And that’s exactly the way the fad diets WANT
you to think…

That THEY work and YOU’RE the one that’s broken.

I wanted to grab him by the collar and say,
“If you’re on the diet AGAIN, then it didn’t work!”

But if you were to ask him, he would say, “Yea,
Atkins works great.”  And he would recommend it
to anyone who wants to lose weight.

I know that it can be confusing because it
looks like these fad diets are working…

You may lose SOME weight for a month or two…

But the weight doesn’t STAY OFF.

These fad diets, don’t KEEP you thin.

Here’s why…

>>  Extreme Diets Tell Your Body To Store Fat >>

When you drastically change what you’re eating
overnight, say by cutting out all carbs like on the
Atkins diet including fruit… your  body recognizes that
something EXTREME has just happened.

And your body is prepared to deal with these
extreme situations.

In the past, it used to mean that the food
had just run out because there was a famine or a
drought.

And your body has evolved to deal with a
shortage of food.

Meaning, that even if food runs out, your body
can do AMAZING things to keep you alive.

And the first thing your body does is it gets
rid of your muscle.

Why?

Because muscle takes too much energy, and too
many calories to keep alive.  Muscle is
hungry and eats through calories even while your
just sitting there and sleeping.

The body recognizes “something just happened
to the food supply.  I’m going to get rid of this
expensive muscle tissue in order to conserve the
food energy and use it to keep me alive.”

So here’s a question for you -

When you’re “dieting” do you want to lose muscle?

Or do you want to lose fat?…

Right!  You want to lose fat.

But on these fad diets that are trying to
“trick” your body into fast weight loss, your
body HOLDS ONTO THE FAT and gets rid of the
muscle.

Why does this happen?

Because fat is what is going to keep you alive
when all the food runs out for good.

That’s what fat cells do.  They are “storage
cells”.  Little batteries of stored energy that
can be used in stressful times to keep you alive.

And when you’re on these extreme diets like the
Atkins, you are telling your body, “Times are very
stressful.”

Why else would you have changed your diet so
drastically overnight?

The food must be running out.

And the more stress your body feels, the more
fat your body makes.

Sounds great, doesn’t it?

So here you are telling your body to get rid
of muscle and store more fat… and you know
what this does?

Turns your body into a jiggly, wobbly mess of
nothing but bones, organs and fat.

Sure, you may be “smaller” than you were before
because eventually after all the muscle is gone,
you do start to burn fat… but that’s only if
your body has no choice.

Following the Atkins diet approach, your body
will only burn fat if it feels REALLY stressed and
like it has no choice because ALL the muscle is
already gone.

And this is usually the point where people
quit.

>>  Starving And Depriving Yourself Is A Miserable Way To Live <<

Turns out putting your body through this
extreme amount of stress is VERY painful…

Which is why my friend was so miserable.

And it is only a matter of time before
everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) gives up and
goes off the diet.

It’s just too hard!

You’re living in a state of total deprivation.

And not eating a balanced diet will make you
feel horrible.

Eventually, he’s going to quit.

And when he does, that’s when things go REALLY
bad…

>> Fad Diets Slow Down Your Metabolism <<

Now that he has eliminated all his muscle he
now has a slower metabolism.

And that means that when he DOES go back to
eating the way he used to - which he will because
he never learned how to break the habits and
he still has negative addictions to bread,
sugar and pasta.

BTW…If you want to learn how to break your
addictions to bread, pasta and sugar, then you
should check this out here:

Break Your Addiction To Carbs Forever

So he will go back to eating all those foods
that he loves, and he will gain back all the
weight AND MORE because he has “trained” his
body to store fat.

Remember, I told you that the body stores
fat in order to keep itself alive when food is
in shortage…

Well, he has already told his body that this
“food shortage” happens - at least TWICE now that
I know of when he followed the Atkins diet and who
knows how many OTHER fad diets he’s been on.

So as soon as the body registers that enough
calories are coming in…

Straight to the fat cells!

Lovely huh?

>>   When You Fail At Dieting You Feel Like A Failure <<

And do you think all of this is going to be
good for his self-esteem?

Of course not.

He’s probably going to convince himself that
he “can’t lose weight” because he’s “tried
everything”.

And that will only make him feel worse about
himself as a person.

Which will make him run to food in order to
escape and feel good for a moment…

Which will only make him get fatter and fatter.

Until maybe some day in the future he will be
tired of being fat again, and he will try another
fad diet (or maybe even Atkins again!) because
he THINKS that he was once “successful” at losing
the weight.

So back to the purpose of this letter…

That’s how the fad diets scam you.

They give you short term illusions and fool you
into thinking that you are losing the right kind of
weight…

But you’re NOT.

Here’s what IS happening:

- You get rid of all your muscle

- You train your body to store fat

- You slow down your metabolism

- You convince yourself that losing weight is “miserable”

- You get a lower self-esteem because you fail

- You give up on yourself and turn to more to destructive habits like eating

- You get fatter

So why is he putting himself through all of
this misery for short-term fat loss that COMES
BACK?

I guess because he feels like he has no other
options.

But you do.

You’re reading these newsletters and you know
that I’m not here giving you another “fad diet”
that tricks you into thinking you’re losing weight.

I’m here to give you a complete system for
healthy weight loss.

This is the approach I finally discovered
after I tried and FAILED at dozens of fad diets…

And the same approach that has helped thousands
of other women just like you to become educated
about nutrition, and their bodies, and the science
of burning fat and building muscle.

Yes.  It can be done when you follow the right
approach.

And instead of losing weight for a month or two
or three at the most, then gaining it all back
and MORE…

I’m teaching you how to lose the weight for a
lifetime.  And in fact, you will continue to get
thinner and healthier every year of your life.

This is more than a diet, this is a complete
education system that walks you step-by-step
through everything you need for healthy weight loss.

It’s all in a 6 CD audio course that you can
listen to anytime in your car or at home.

I give you my best advice about healthy weight
loss in this audio course.

Such as:

- 5 ways to trigger “fat burning” all day long

- How to incorporate a new healthy eating system in
your life for good so you never gain weight again

- How to enjoy the process so you keep yourself motivated

Try it out for 60 days.  If you don’t feel and
see amazing results (and I know you will), then I
don’t want you to pay for it.

That’s my promise to you.

Go here to check out the audio course that
gives you a complete education solution to healthy
weight loss:

Step-By-Step Solution To Healthy Weight Loss

And if you haven’t downloaded my introductory
eBook, then that’s here:

Introduction To Healthy Weight Loss

When you understand the science of how your
body burns fat, and when you get in touch with
your deepest desires to be healthy - this will
keep you on the right path to losing weight and
gaining health for a lifetime.

You deserve this.

You deserve to have a healthy body, a peaceful
mind and a radiant spirit… even WHILE you’re
losing weight.

And you’ll find that the joy you get from
living a healthy life, and making healthy choices,
yes - you will lose weight and that feels great…

But there’s also something deeper going on
inside of you.

You are giving yourself LOVE each and every
day with every healthy choice you make.

And this becomes your new addiction.

But this one is a positive addiction that will
fill yourself up on the inside and then pour out
of you onto every thing and every ONE in your life.

You are growing and expanding this infinite
LOVE inside of you.

You are leaning toward the light like a flower
leans toward the sun…

Fill yourself up.  And watch how it grows and
expands inside of you.

I’m sending you love and light to surround you
on your journey into health.

Thank you for being all that you are and for
believing in all that you can be.

Talk to you soon…

Your Friend,
Love and Light,

Andrea

Dear Andrea,
First off I would like say that your newsletters are SO helpful. However, recently, I’ve fallen off the wagon! Please help me get back on! Any tips you have are helpful!!!
Also, in one of your earlier newsletters, you said that the brain is a big calorie burner. I fell REALLY stupid asking this question, but if ou do maore academically challenging things, will tht burn more calories? I REALLY want to know this!!!!
Again, thank you for all the help.

Hi Jordan,

Just remember, this is a process.  You are going to fall down, just pick yourself back up.  It’s like a child learning how to walk - they fall down all the time and eventually walking is second nature to them.  It’s the same for following a healthy path.  Just keep pulling yourself back to it.  And forgive yourself when you fall down.

Yes, thinking and brain activity does burn through a lot of calories.  Which is why you need to nourish your brain with healthy foods all day long.  Are you eating 6 times a day?  This is the biggest key to speeding up your metabolism and losing weight.

Be patient with yourself.  You are learning these tools that will set you up and give you a lifetime of health.

I’ve been emailing back and forth with a reader who is fighting cancer and can’t get out to exercise.  I gave her a breathing exercise to replenish and detox while she is in this delicate healing state…

Dear Jeanelle,

I was thinking about you in my yoga class today… wishing you all the love and light that you deserve.

You are a caring and compassionate healer.  You’ve always given to others that love, and so you are already connected to that “frequency”.  The universe wants you to have the same.  It’s only a matter of opening up and letting your whole SELF receive it.  You deserve it.  And it’s waiting there for you.  Let me show you what I mean…

Will you try this breathing experiment?

Turn off the tv.  Turn off the computer.  Find the stillness and silence inside of you.  And be still with your breath.

With every inhale you are breathing in peaceful and healing energy, and with every exhale you are releasing everything that is no longer serving you.  Inhale - bringing in nourishment.  Exhale - detoxing and releasing.

Say that to yourself over and over again, “Inhale - Nourishment. Exhale - Releasing.”

Do this for 10 slow, deep breath cycles.

Then open your eyes and see how you feel.

Just notice the subtle changes inside of you.  Do you feel calm?  Relaxed?  And energized at the same time?

This is how powerful the breath can be.  And it’s there for you ALL THE TIME.

Let me know how that works out for you.  If you like it, maybe we can add some gentle movements to open the body and let the breath travel deeper…

Your Friend,
Love and Light,
Andréa

*** Her Response **

Bless you, Andrea…this message came at a time that I so needed someone to understand how much I need easy to understand breathing.  I had another trip to the ER last night.  I’ve had diarrhea since having a colonoscopy on 2-26.  Yesterday was a very bad day.  I lost my lunch, along with 11 instances of diarrhea.  By evening my BP climbed alarmingly with every 30 minutes.  Our ER is hopeless, but I did get an IV to hydrate my body.  I had one good day, with no pain…on Saturday night and Sunday a.m.. I made a BIG mistake…ate an apple Sat night and another one on Sunday.  All the bad symptoms came to hit me by Sunday afternoon.  I just want to get back to healthy eating, but I will have to eat what I can keep down for now.

I’m printing out your directions.  Thank you for remembering me and caring.  I am so blessed.  It’s amazing that through the Internet, I’ve “met” you.  You “get” it about what I need more than most people in my life.  I’m not fitting into the mold right now for what my family expects of me.  I’m the caregiver and they don’t know what to do when I’m down and out.

Thank you again for your caring heart.  Now I’m about to do the breathing and try to get feeling better from the continued gastric distress.  You amaze me, and I keep you in my prayers.

I will send a report in a few days.

Thanks again for being my friend!  You know the real meaning of that word!

Blessings as you spread your light!  Jeanelle
