Eating is Good?

By Dolly | Jul 9, 2008

sushiIf I said eating is good, many people may disagree with me. However, I am not talking about those foods that are high in sugars and loaded with calories etc. Besides, when we feel low in energy, most of us reach for food. So, I want to share some of the things I do when I am looking for a little boost.

When I go grocery shopping, my rule is to make sure I fill the cart with plenty of nutritional foods for snacks. For example, walnuts are good for protein so taking a handful of it helps my hunger and gives the nutrition my body needs. Moreover, there are many foods that contain natural sugars like dry dates, raisins, bananas, honey etc.

Another habit I have grown to love is to make sure not to give into my temptation to eat junk food. No matter what, I have slowly trained myself not to buy anything that will not help my body to grow in good health. I figure if I don’t have it at home I will be restricted from it naturally.

Walking Anyone?

By Dolly | Jul 6, 2008

Going walking is one of the activities I love to do. Most of the time, I go walking in the neighborhood. For some reason, it does not feel like something I have to force myself to do, maybe because I enjoy it so much. It is a lot easier when it doesn’t take so much convincing like when I have to go for a workout in the gym.

What’s more, I had no idea that taking a thirty-minute walk everyday had so many benefits. It not only builds your cardiovascular system, it burns calories. I was reading an article by Dr. Don Colbert, a renowned health and nutritional expert, and he recommended a thirty-minute walk everyday to one of his patients, and she lost fifty pounds in one year. Though, he also said that not everyone’s body responds in the same way. Read more »

Still Love

I know I am not the only one who is going through this. When you love someone, that other person may not comprehend your love for them. He may even say things to put you down or hurt your feelings. There is someone in my life who does that to me constantly. It is so funny that I want my love to grow for this person, but I always end up getting hurt.

I want to share all the good things and happy moments with this person. However, it always turns out different and we end up on another subject. Sometimes, I feel he is just jealous of me at times since I have accomplished so much in short period of time. Still, I don’t know how he manages to blame me for everything and make me feel guilty for nothing. He makes me feel as if there is something wrong with me.

My friends support and understand me better than him. It makes me angry; sometimes I want to share something, but I know that I won’t receive any positive or pleasing feedback. So what is the use? I always hope for it to change, but I don’t think it is going to happen anytime soon.

I don’t want to brag, but I was there to help him financially and emotionally whenever he needed me. I don’t know if he will ever be able to understand my feelings. I don’t know why, but I think I will always love him.
