love – SAVAGE AHAVA

Friends, I want only to write when I have something worthy to share with my beautiful people. Since, my last post, I have been established a new routine in my life (I want this as a lifestyle).

The first thing I am changing is my recipes by introducing more vegetables, and I am using much of the local food (Mozambique). Yes, I found out that eat more like a vegetarian is very easy and not boring at all. I still eat meat(I reduce the consumption of red meat 2 to 3 times a month), fish and others.

My success for this new routine is due to my friend Claudia with whom I am accountable, and we share our recipes (with pictures). What I love about her is she truly believes that eating start first in our minds (ah ah I wrote about it) and that we can have a beautiful life if we know how to eat! What a friend. She is not telling me about what to eat and what not to eat.

We have decided not to say the F word (FAT ah ah) in our conversation. We also believe that words are powerful, if we want to change our life so change also your words. Remember that we need to think differently first to talk differently. Don’t work on your frustration of losing weight or body, work in loving your body and changing your thinking, your words, our way to see food, your way to cook, our way to enjoy food. What I am trying to say is substitute the negative to a positive and vibrant thought.

When I wake up, I thank God for the brand- new day and command my day to be joyful and align to the Heavens. Then, I talk to myself: “Kim, You are beautiful and you have an amazing body. I love you Kim, I love you legs (I have a curvy shape) and I bless you my heart” . That is an example, and each day I change to bless all of me. I am established peace with my body (even the cellulite) because the stress of losing weight through many and different diets and crazy exercises was not helping me at all. I was competing within myself and it was so painful and hideous in my soul.

I am doing some exercises and during the week, and I am laughing a lot intentionally in order to relax. All of it makes me feel so good. I am doing all this at my pace.

Let me share some pictures of my food. Please send me some recipes with pictures.

Here I am again and I want to talk about the process of losing weight, on what I was exposed to during this time. Let me tell you about it.

A while ago, I wrote about my desire to lose weight, and I was frustrated with all the diets and advice that I have found online or with friends. I tried some without any success. I shared about how I lost many pounds or Kg in USA. So, I prayed and asked God to show me what to do because He is my creator, and He knows me better.

I must confess, I was waiting for a clear formula from heavens, but for some times I did not hear or sense anything. I Asked him again the same thing. No response! I started to do what I know best: Try my way! One day , I was eating bread, cheese and soup for supper and I literally enjoyed it and appreciating each bite. And I wasn’t think about the calories or if it is allowed to eat or not, the ” bla-bla” that all of us knows .

My mind was focused on enjoying the food, and I was grateful for having food. And I noticed that the next morning my body was different not that swallowing legs that I used to see in the shower even if I have only eaten salad for dinner. I was wondering about it.

Then, I felt that the problem is on my mind. It is corrupted with wrong and false information. The way I think about something affected all my being. WHAT? It must be God answers my question. And I realized that every time I eat something my mind goes to the “bureau of information that I store all this wrong information” and select it according to the item on my plate, and then send the information to my body telling that I am eating something that I am not supposed to eat because I am going to be fat- That is the way I saw the dialogue inside of me!

I was eating with the wrong mindset . For example, my friend told me that we shouldn’t eat cassava and sweet potato anymore because we are going to be fat, now the trend is to eat a quinoa all the time. Really? Where she finds this information? What about our families that eat those foods and they are healthy and not fat? We are exposed to a variety large of information and we are creating wrong mindset about food.

I know that we need to eat healthy, but I have also learned that we eat with our mind too. If our mindset is wrong, then we are in trouble. I am training my mind and I am seeing some results. Now, I am more keen to eat healthier because I am changing the way I am thinking about food.

Please, don’t take me wrong. I appreciate the doctors and nutritionists, but I choose to include God in my diet!

Do you know the expression ” Food for thought”? Just for reflexion!

I will share more about my journey. All I know now is I have more energy, and I am happy. Yes, I am losing weight little by little.
