Food

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Your thoughts make you fat or thin. NOT your food!

Abraham Hicks

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Make a decision of how you want to FEEL, and say clearly on a really regular basis:

I want to feel good
I want to feel hearty
I want to be energized
I want this food to empower me
I want to thrive
I want food to really fuel me
I want the cells of my body to be satisfied in what they are asking for
I want to be sensitive to what my cells are asking for, so that I am inspired to the food that will provide it in a dominant way
I want to find the rhythm of my body
I want to know that I am eating right thing
I want to be drawn to right thing
I want food to be satisfying
I want it to be a pleasurable thing
I want it to bring me a sense of well-being
I want it to satisfy me in all ways.

And as you say those kind of things on a really regular basis,
the things that will satisfy those desires will the be things that pop out for you everywhere.

...And so someone says: "What keeps popping out for me is this gooey chocolate doughnut!"
Well then, go to the chocolate doughnut, and eat the chocolate doughnut, and see how it feels.
And if it feels good, eat it.
And if you feel reluctance... Once you have lined up with the energy, and once you are in sync
with following your bliss relative to food,
anything that is not good for you, you will not feel a gravitation to!

But this will happen in every single case, once you align in the way we are describing here:
All kinds of things will feel good for you SOME of the time!

(...Most of you are so paranoid about food, that you never get into that place of ALLOWING yourself to be guided!)"

~Abraham

It does not matter how perfect your diet is.
If you'r in a bad mood while you'r eating it, it will not benefit you.

~Abraham

[Paradise-on-Earth]

...What is the PERFECT FOOD?
-We would say, there is not one other than WATER.
We encourage lots of that, for all of you!

Drink as much as you can get into your body,
and then eat ANYTHING ELSE that FEELS GOOD to you!

On Weight Loss

Hotseater asks about how to lose weight.

Abraham:
During your discouraged moments, as you acknowledged that you body was not as you would like it to be,
you were launching rockets of desire about what you preferred.
And within all of that processing of life - and without realizing it - you have been adding to your Vibrational Escrow.
You have created a vibrational version of the new and improved physical version of yourself.

We want to help you understand that this is not a flimsy dream floating somewhere in your imagination.
This is not a delusional departure from reality.
This is a creation in the making. (...)

The discouragement that you have been feeling is indicating the discord between the continually evolving creation of your beautiful body,
and the thoughts that you continue to think regarding your body.
Your body has been vibrationally evolving,
but your old patterns of thoughts, your beliefs, are causing a vibrational discord.
And under those conditions, successful action cannot be inspired or performed.
Under those conditions, all action is harder, yielding little or no results, causing more discouragement still.

The key to bringing your body to a new place is to SEE it differently from the way it is.
It is necessary that you focus upon the body that is coming
and distract yourself form the negative aspects of your current physical body.
For as long as you are seeing your body as it is,
you are contradicting the vibration of the idea of a slender body.
You cannot create a new reality while looking at your current reality.

Your choices right now do not include whether you are in your perfect body weight or not. You have no choice other than to be at the body weight you are at right now. You are going to weigh about the same thing tomorrow as you do today and the next day too. [However!]

Changing your vibrational alignment right now IS an option - a powerful one.

You are not, right now, choosing between feeling fabulous or terrible.

Your choices right now are more subtle and more fine-tuned than that.

You are making the simple choice of feeling a little better, or a little worse.

You can choose an upstream thought, or a better-feeling, downstream thought.

Those are your only choices: upstream or downstream.

But those choices are enough.

- Abraham Hicks

Whether you gird up your willpower and walk out of the ice cream parlor or whether you go ahead and select and eat a large tub of ice cream, there is absolutely no difference in the effect of one of those actions over the other.

Even if we are talking about 1000 days of walking out as compared to 1000 days of eating a tub of ice cream, the action choice of one or the other makes no difference.

It is not your action that matters;
It is your vibration.
It is not your action that makes you fat;
it is your vibration.
It is not what you are doing that makes the difference;
it is how you are feeling about what you are doing.


- Abraham Hicks. Excerpt from The Astonishing Power of Emotions book, 2007, pg 61

-


If being slender matches the emotion of happiness,
and you were to consistently eat ice cream while feeling happy,
you would be a slender person who eats large quantities of ice cream.

If your desire to be slender while you are currently not slender, matches the emotion of discouragement,
and you were to consistently eat ice cream while feeling discouraged,
you would be a fat person who eats ice cream.

If your desire to be slender while you are currently not slender matches teh emotion of discouragement,
and you were to consistently use your willpower to keep yourself from eating ice cream,
you would be a fat person who does NOT eat ice cream.

-

Some would ask,
"Abraham, if being unhappy makes you fat, why are there no fat people in an environment where food is scarce? They are unhappy and they are not fat. They are often starving to death."

And we would answer: If you are focused upon the current situation of food scarcity, and you feel fear for yourself and your loved ones, you ar a match to what you do not want.
It makes no difference if not wanting to be fat is the issue that turns your thoughts upstream,
or if the idea of starving to death is the issue that turns your thoughts upstream.
Your thoughts are still upstream, which is resistance to what you desire, whether your desire is slenderness or enough food for your family. (...)

The key to creating everything that you desire is to find a way to turn to the better-feeling, downstream thoughts, even when the current situation does not evoke it from you, and to use your willpower to focus your thoughts in the direction of your desire and who you really are, rather than using your willpower to try to produce action against the Current.

- Abraham

-

Whenever you find yourself beating the same old drum about your body weight,
if you would make an effort to turn your thoughts downstream,
and stay focused upon the subject until you feel a slight turn,
in a very short period of time you will improve the vibrational relationship between where you are
and what you want.
And you will be amazed at the leverage this improved vibration will give to your process.
Everything about this will get easier and easier
until in time, your desired body weight will have been achieved.

Doing the vibrational work about eating a cookie when you think it's not good for you or that it will make you fat:

I shouldn't be eating you. (upstream)
You'll only make me fatter. (upstream)
You are delicious though. (downstream)
And you're not all that big. (downstream)
I could eat some of you now and save some for later. (downstream)
I like having choices. (downstream)
I like making deliberate choices (downstream)
I like being in charge of my actions (downstream)
You're a tasty little cookie. (downstream).
Well, I'm enjoying you, cookie. (downstream)
I'm deliberately enjoying you. (downstream)
And sometimes I'll choose to eat you, and sometimes I'll pass. Right now I'm going to eat you. And I'm going to enjoy you. (downstream)

You are eating a cookie and you have talked yourself into alignment with yourself,
and therefore with your desire to be slender a the same time.
You are in alignment with You,
which is much more significant than anything you are doing - or not doing - with the cookie.

About Cravings




Cravings are going to occur to you!
So, here is the rule of thumb about EATING,
or about investing in the stock market or about anything else:

If the impulse comes from a JOYOUS thought that FEELS GOOD- follow it.
If the impulse comes from an uncomfortable place that feels bad- don't follow it.

~Abraham

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Cravings are food-inspiration!

It doesn't matter what nutritional action you take; what matters if what your thoughts & feelings are about your health

"A young man called recently in great pain because he had just received word that his mother was dead.

He said to us, "Abraham, she should not have died. She was a very healthy woman. She went to aerobics three times a week, and ate all sorts of food supplements and vitamins, and ate only the healthiest foods. How can this have happened?"

And we explained that she was taking those actions of exercise and eating to try to compensate for a deep feeling of lack of health.

As you act from your feeling of lack, you add power to the lack."
