Fabulously Cheeky

The easiest way to achieve your ideal weight is to STOP EATING MEALS. I can guarantee you, that every time you eat a so called meal, you’ll eat more than you need. It is so tasty, so yummy, just a little bit more…

I’m not saying “don’t cook.” Cook a meal, if you like, feed your family, but don’t join them when they eat unless you are actually hungry, too. If you aren’t hungry just then, keep the food in the fridge, and wait until you are hungry before you eat your share. And, when you eat, stop as soon as your hunger is no longer gnawing in your guts. You can eat again any time you want (but only when you are actually hungry!), so there is no need to stuff yourself or fill your stomach to the limit. “Full” is different from “satisfied.” Stuffing yourself to the brim is not healthy!

You can basically eat anything you like, without counting calories – as long as you only eat when you are hungry, and stop as soon as the hunger isn’t bothering you any longer. If you still have food left on your plate, just put the rest of the food back in the fridge with some plastic over it for the next time you get hungry. And NEVER eat out of boredom or because you happen to be watching a movie. If you are bored, find something to do instead, like knitting, or going for a walk.

If you follow this super simple rule of only eating when you are actually hungry, and never stuffing yourself, the excess weight will fall away and your body will stabilize itself at a level that is natural for you. Who knows if you are supposed to have curves? You’ll know when the weight stabilizes itself. Whatever that place is, that is your ideal weigth.

Being overweight or obese is not natural. You never see an obese deer or an obese bobcat. Obese animals only exist in domesticated animals, and it only happens when we feed them regular meals, instead of letting them eat the way they do in nature.

In nature, the animals eat when food is available, and they don’t go looking for food until they are hungry again. There is no breakfast, dinner and evening meal! There is no automatic nibbling when they watch TV. There are no snacks!!! They just look for food when they are hungry, and they eat until they are satisfied and leave the rest. That is the NATURAL way to eat!

Unfortunately, we have forgotten how to be natural. It is time we remember it again…

Did you know that lots of people don’t actually know what real hunger feels like??? Any time you hear people say “I am hungry for…” (you fill in the blank), that is NOT hunger, that is simply craving combined with boredom. You can’t be hungry FOR something. Either you are hungry, or you are not! Real hunger gnaws and grumbles in your guts. If it doesn’t gnaw, you are not hungry, and if you are not hungry, you shouldn’t be eating!

If you follow this super simple rule of only eating when you are actually hungry, and never stuffing yourself to your limit, the excess weight will fall away and your body will stabilize itself at a level that is natural for you. Who knows if you are supposed to have curves? You’ll know when the weight stabilizes itself. Whatever that place is, that is your ideal weigth.

If your goal is to achieve a weight that is right for you, you don’t have to compare yourself to others. You don’t have to go on a diet. You don’t even have to step on a scale, because it is all about finding YOUR ideal weight, which is basically the weight that is natural for you.

Diets don’t work anyway, because they are simply suppressing your habits. The weight may come off, but when you quit your diet, how long do you keep it off? You can only keep your weight off if you actually change the way you eat!

Being overweight or obese is not natural. You never see an obese deer or an obese bobcat. Obese animals only exist in domesticated animals, and it only happens because we feed them regular meals, instead of letting them eat the way they do in nature.

Eating regular meals is a very un-natural way to eat. In nature, the animals only eat when food is available, and they don’t go looking for food until they are hungry again. If they are not hungry, they don’t even think about food. There is no breakfast, dinner and evening meal! There is no automatic, unconscious nibbling when they watch TV. They just look for food when they are hungry, and they eat until they are satisfied and leave the rest for someone else – no need to be greedy, or finish everything on the plate – that is just conditioned nonsense. Animals don’t operate under this kind of nonsense. The way they eat is the NATURAL way to eat! We have so much to learn from the animals!

Unfortunately, we have forgotten how to be natural. It is time we remember it again…

When I lived in Norway, I spent quite a bit of time around a group of Africans. The men came to Norway first, and established money flow and a place to live, and then they helped their sisters and girlfriends to come later.

Because the boys were in Norway for a while before they were able to bring the girls there, it didn’t take very long before the boys started appreciating skinny white women and started putting pin-up pictures on the walls in their rooms. By the time the African women came, the boys had already adopted a different idea of what was beautiful, and when the women discovered this, they went on strict diets almost right away.

The African girls were beautifully curvy when they arrived. After seriously dieting for a while, they lost their curves and started looking lanky instead. They had long arms and legs that needed some curves for a balanced look. So, we told them that they looked silly when they were too skinny, and that they should start eating so they could gain some curves again. Skinny just didn’t suit them!

We also told them that if the African boys no longer appreciated their curves, we were sure that there would be lots of Norwegian boys who would. This idea went over well with the girls, who were laughing and clapping, but the boys were extremely unhappy about the whole idea. No white boy was going to go out with one of “their” girls!!! Thereafter, the African boys had to let go of their stupid ideas of beauty, and the girls went back to being what they were in the first place, beauties with CURVES!

Everybody is different, and everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them. We have to do whatever it is that makes us feel good about ourselves. If dieting makes you feel miserable, don’t diet! Just eat when you are hungry and see what happens.

Maybe it is time for us to create our own ideas of what beauty is, instead of letting the society (mostly men) decide what makes us attractive. We are what we are, the way nature has made us. We are not born with expressionless botox filled faces with no wrinkles! Our eyelids aren’t so tight that we can’t close our eyes! Our cheekbones don’t curve like the cheeks of a chipmunk, our lips aren’t naturally swollen, and our breasts aren’t immune to the effect of gravity. So what? Whoever came up with those silly ideas anyway?

Life moves in cycles, and every cycle has its own beauty. In this society, it seems that we can only see the beauty of the maiden (teenage girl), and we have become obsessed about keeping our looks in that stage, no matter what stage we are actually in.

What about the beauty of the mother, with all her roundness and softness? What about the beauty of the crone with her life experiences etched into her face? We can see how much she smiled, we can see what hardship she had to endure, we can see the effect of the cold, the wind and the sun, and we can look into her eyes and see the wisdom from many lessons learned. How can you live your life totally and come out the other end with your packaging unscratched? And, why would you?

It is definitely time for all of this to change, but this time, we need to consciously create the change we want.

Things have to change, there is no question about it. When it comes to shoes, style and comfort should go hand in hand. We shouldn’t have to compromise style for comfort, and we shouldn’t have to compromise comfort for style. Luckily, there are a few companies who really understand this. Check out these super cute shoes that offer a great alternative to both birkenstocks (ugly!!!) and spiked heels (ouch!!)

What if women refused to buy ugly shoes, or uncomfortable shoes that create hammertoes and aching backs! If we all rebel, they would have to listen and start making what we want, wouldn’t they! What if the shoe manufacturers had to start creating more shoes that could give us COMFORT, as well as STYLE?

If we consciously boycott anything that doesn’t feel right, things will have to change for the better because every choice we make can change our future. This is what the Age of Aquarius is about; choosing what we want in the future, and saying good-bye to anything we no longer want. We are all personally responsible for the change that is about to happen, and it has to happen on every level, not just politically. I say no to spiked heels, and yes to comfort with style! What do you say? What is your favorite brand of comfortable/stylish shoes?

Too bad we can’t just appreciate how nature made us! Too bad we feel that we need plastic surgery and hair dye just to feel good about ourselves! Too bad we are we dum enough to wear high heals and pointy shoes when they destroy our feet, damage our backs and block our kundalini energy!

I must admit, heals do look good, but there must be alternatives between birkenstocks and 4 inch spiked heals that will enhance your outfit without damaging your body in the process. We, as women, have to decide when enough is enough! Have you ever pondered over the fact the real women don’t have pointy feet, and that the shoes you wear should fit your feet, and not the other way around?

We should learn some things from the animals. Cats don’t mind saggy bellies, dogs don’t care if they drool, and spiders don’t mind hairy legs. We are the only animals in existence that can’t accept what we were given from nature.

I am not suggesting that we should all become hippies with frumpy hair, birkenstocks and no makeup. I am simply questioning some of these old ideas, and suggesting that we, as women, have to decide what makes us FEEL beautiful, and where to draw the line when it comes to what kind of societal pressures we are willing to put up with just to “fit in.” How far are we willing to go, just to be considered beautiful or attractive? If you want to know how far women are willing to go, just look at the tragic pictures of plastic surgery gone wrong. Those pictures just make me want to cry!

Did you know, that most women are not happy with how they look, even the ones that are born undisputably gorgeous! Something is definitely wrong with this picture because we can’t all be ugly!

It is interesting to note, that in America, the beauty concepts are no longer driven by men’s fear that the women are going to run away with someone else. Here, the whole thing has been turned around. Now it is the women who are trying to stay as young and attractive as possible so that the men won’t run away with a younger, more attractive woman! In America, youth is worshipped so much that women are expected to reach their seventies with perfect skin, dark hair and no wrinkles! Hello! I think it is time for some kind of reality check!

All this nonsense really makes you wonder if there is such a thing as real beauty. Is there a universal kind of beauty that everyone can agree on? The only thing I can think of is inner beauty. When someone is kind and loving, it makes them beautiful, regardless of what they look like physically. But when it comes to physical beauty, there is no ONE THING that everyone can agree on. Therefore, my conclusion is that there is no universal beauty. Beauty as we know it is simply an idea in the mind of man!

In Africa they have their own ideas of what is beautiful. There are places in Africa where they love extremely long necks. We have probably all seen pictures of African women with lots and lots of necklaces that stretch the neck completely out of proportion. I have also heard that if one of those women had an affair with someone, her husband will remove her necklaces, and because the neck is so long that it can’t hold the head up, she will choke to death as a punishment. That will teach her a lesson and set an example for the other women in the tribe! It seems that their ideas of beauty are based on ulterior motives… (Looks a bit like control to me, since the women can’t just refuse to wear those necklaces!)

In China, there were similar motives behind the idea that women should have tiny, tiny feet. So tiny, in fact, that they had to bind the feet of the girl babies and bend the toes under. Eventually, they couldn’t even stretch their toes anymore, so they ended up having to walk with their toes folded under, and the pain was evidently so excruciating that they couldn’t walk very far. Maybe their husbands were afraid they were going to run away if they had normal sized feet? Maybe, just maybe, all ideas of beauty arises out of sexual suppression and control issues!

On one hand, there are ideas of what is beautiful, on the other hand, there are control issues with sexual undertones. Beauty and sexual attractiveness seems to go hand in hand, and what it comes down to is really who is controlling who!!! If that is the case, maybe the time has come for women to say “enough is enough.” We are what we are, and you as men have to learn to accept that and start appreciating our natural beauty!

I have heard of a tribe (can’t remember the name unfortunately) where the women parade every year to show off and celebrate the marks of childbirth on their bodies. This would be unheard of in this country! In United States, women feel that they have to hide their marks of childbirth, either with clothing or plastic surgery. Stretch marks and sagging breasts are definitely not honored here! Here, they want you to have the wisdom of a mature woman and the looks of a teenager. Why is it that women are supposed to look like eternal teenagers? Could it have something to do with sexual suppression in men? Who knows…

In America, it is also considered beautiful to have a tan. In China, however, pale skin is considered much more beautiful, the paler the better. There are whole isles in the supermarkets there that are dedicated to skin bleaching creams, while in United States you find isles of tanning cream instead. So, what is more beautiful? Tan skin, or pale? The truth is, nobody can answer this question in an objective way, because beauty is “in the eyes of the beholder.” In other words, it is simply a matter of conditioned opinion! Whatever is culturally agreed upon, is the right answer at the time.

There are many other examples as well. For example, in America, big breasts are considered to be the most attractive. In places like Japan, small breasts were favored, at least in the past, even though that might be changing now. I think Japanese men have started enjoying bigger breasts there, too – perhaps as a result of the American influence. But in Japan, the traditional clothing was actually made for flat chested women, that is why the kimonos have no darts to allow for any curves. Can you imagine getting into a flat kimono if you have large breasts? It would make the kimono hike up in the front and make diagonal folds in odd places, so it really wouldn’t work, unless you tied the breasts down and flattened them first, which I think they actually do if someone’s breasts are too big for the outfit.
So, looking at different cultures, nobody seems to agree what exactly beauty is.
