EATING GREMLINS!

So, Let me take you back to a conversation I had in my head several times but at one particular time when I was sitting on the couch bored with nothing to do
AND had been watching TV for a three consecutive hours.

"I'm hungry, I think I just go get some juice"

*Walks to kitchen and realizes we have a WHOLE BOX OF OREOS!*

"Heh heh, yuum"

And guess what I did? Instead of having a harmless glass of juice I went a mauled a whole box of Oreos.

What did I do wrong here? Let me help you by telling what I seem to not be able to do.
DESTROYING MY FOOD GREMLINS

Food gremlins are a mix between your conscience and and whatever is lurking in your pantry/cupboards

How I can tell when food gremlins are twisting my brains around is when I say something like
I want juice and then go for the oreos, but I have figured out a battle plan which is hopefully bullette proof.

step one: When you feel the grumbles ( the foot steps of the gremlins ) Try to distract yourself or find something to do. Step two: If step one failed you, try to figure out what is in your fridge or pantry before you go look. So you aren't persuaded by anything in your sights.
Step three: When you have your goal of what snack you want go there either with a supportive friend or a reminder stuffy telling you to be strong. dont break down. dont reach for those cookies because keep in mind you will be happier with your decision of a carrot instead of a cookie!


Thanks for reading!


P.S I don't support diets and my goal here isn't to make anyone feel bad about themselves. I just want to tell you how you can keep strong and stay healthy!

Keep on Keepin' on!

STYLE WATCH

Hi! So my past posts were just simple telling you some things that i use and like
but this one i will tell you something I have noticed. People always have style in them, its just weather or not you have the guts to wear it out. I will tell you something, your never over dressed, your always underdressed and if you think of it like that then it gives you freedom to accesorize. Add bracelets, necklaces and earings. Throw on a leather jacket and a scarf but just dont let your mind wander. People often put thoughts of their own into other peoples heads
for example

Judy wore a red tee shirt when everyone else wore grey, she feered she was too colourful even though she left her house feeling great. She saw Fred staring at her and she automatically thought HE was thinking she was too colourful when really he was thinking "wow I wish I dressed like that"

Hope fully you got it! :)

Here is a link to a site that is sooo much fun! It lets you make fashion collages!

This link will take you to a "set" I made and from there you can create an account!

Photography!
It is one of my favourite pass times ever! I love how the saying " A picture says a thousand words" describes just about every picture i think ive ever seen. A picture is a way to tell people how you feel, want, need and to tell a story. Some amazing photo editing and photo sharing sites are:

Flickr- sharing photos ( I am Pepper Rabbit )

Photo flexer- great for layering pictures

Photo bucket- photo sharing and editing

and of course Picnik!

Have fun with these!

TIP! how to get home made Bokeh! if you can get ahold of a window and got around late morning. if you bring a white board and hold it under the camera it should pick up the light of the widnow and create lovely bokeh! any setting works :)
