How I dropped 44 Pounds & Got My Clear Mind Back
NO MORE FOG-HEAD, MEMORY LOSS…OR COMFORT-EATING!
Two of the worst problems I experienced before I dropped almost 45 pounds in the last 6 months were a feeling of fog-head every morning that got better by noon, but didn’t really ever clear up, leaving me feeling like a major part of my life was vague and missing; and the extreme loss of short-term memory.
It really freaked me out, because truly thought I was sliding into a rapidly advancing case of Alzheimers.
Part of the program I used to drop the excess weight was letting go of starches. (No, it really wasn’t all that difficult after the first few days, and I still don’t eat or even miss them now.)
After only 1 week of no starches, the fog-headedness completely cleared up. GONE! Celebrate! I continue to avoid starches even now (well, except an occasional orange yam! – yum) and I’m experiencing almost zero memory loss.
If you’d like to see what I looked like before and after, go here: FinallySlimandTrim.com – it’s pretty embarrassing to reveal, but I thought it might be inspiring to you if you’re struggling with something similar.
How did I get that big? Add up not being able to exercise after surgery, sheer laziness after I was well again, corn chips and ginger snaps and sitting on my duff for hour after hour at the computer…well, you can see how I packed it on!
When I reached 205 that was It. My dad was 6’2″ and weighed less. Something had to change, or I knew I’d never make it past 70.
Yes, I used a radical program (and on that site there’s a link to it if you’re interested in checking it out. There’s a lot of controversy about it, but I’m not going into that here because that isn’t what I want you to pay attention to right now).
I want you to consider how much grain-related stuff you eat for comfort.
Yup – comfort. Comfort-eating will make you bulge in all the wrong places! Whether it’s starchy-stuff, sugar, fats and salty-foods – if you eat for comfy-ness, you’re going to get fatty-ness.

Sun, Sand & Sculpture!

Every once in a while you just gotta stop and not just smell the roses (gardenia, jasmine…) but go down to the beach and have a romp!
My friend, Financial Advisor Jobie Summer (who specializes in advising other financial advisors in Socially Responsible Investing) and I went down to Kailua Beach the other day and made this Spiral-Belly gal and attending Sea Horse….come join us next time!
Why Does Tapping Work?
Time and time again, people ask me why tapping works. I found a great article by an acupuncturist here in Hawaii in a local health magazine that gives a good idea why.
I have included excerpts of it here. As you probably know, when we tap we use acupuncture meridians, so just imagine she’s talking about tapping as well as acupuncture.
I like it that she calls us the original transformer – you know how I’m always saying “It’s just energy!” Fits right in perfectly. Here are a few important excerpts from her article:

You Are the Original Transformer

You are electrifying! Your body is an amazing… collection of complex systems and intricate functions.
Did you know that the human body generates electrical energy through organic and cellular action? This energy travels throughout your body through [energetic] pathways.
Variations in energy generation and current can create imbalance in ionic charges. The variation is associated with pain and disease.
Research has shown that we generate AC electrical fields around our nerves and muscles, and DC electromagnetic fields around our brain.
Acupuncture points have greater electrical conductivity than surrounding tissues. The therapeutic effect of acupuncture stem from its ability to discharge potential ionic differences. Doing so helps bring about optimal charge conditions within the body.

I hope that enlightens you a little bit – it sure made sense to me. Thanks, Sherry!
