So here WE are trying our blessed best to lose weight ... and here is this 160 pound guy who is a world champion eater. In July he won the Nathan's hot dog eating contest by devowering 54 dogs and yesterday he set a new record at the Johnsonville World Brat Eating Championship.

Takeru Kobayashi a 27 year old from Japan, wolfed down 58 bratwursts in 10 minutes becoming the new brat eating champ of the world. He not only got a free meal, but won $8000 for his accomplished eating skills.

I'll bet you didn't even know there WAS an International Federation of Competative Eating ... and that there are DOZENS of eating contests with BIG cash prizes.

Holy Schmoly Bat Man, who would have thunk! I'm going to start looking for the national Turtles (as in chocolate) and Miss Vicki's (as in chips) contests!!

In fact, I just might hold my own private contest, right now!

Hoodia Appears to be Working

Melanie Rockett — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 20:10:00 +0000

This is the stuff I ordered

HoodiaTherm

because they give you 90 days to get your money back if it doesn't work. I figured it wouldn't work but I WAS WRONG. Less than 30 days into it, I am eating less. I don't feel as hungry.

Of course it could just be the heat or my imagination. I'll keep you updated.

The Most Dangerous Fast Food Outlet

The Globe and Mail and CTV commissioned a study to find out how bad the trans fat problem is ....

The CTV and Globe and Mail study found that KFC's deep-fried chicken pieces (known as Popcorn Chicken) and fries meals had the highest levels of trans fats at a whopping 18.6 grams -- a level that if eaten daily may boost your risk of heart disease by nearly 100 per cent.

What's the Hoo Haw About Hoodia?

Melanie Rockett — Wed, 17 May 2006 20:42:00 +0000

I've been noticing information, articles and news documentaries about Hoodia … and most of them have only positive comments. So I decided to do a bit of research about Hoodia mostly to satisfy my own curiosity. After all, anything that helps me lose weight without any negative effects bears looking at!

What is Hoodia?

It is an African plant that looks very much like a cactus plant, but grows only in certain parts of Africa … specifically the Kalahari desert. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, have been using Hoodia for thousands of years to stave off hunger during extended hunting trips. Currently the only location in Africa where Hoodia gordonii is being allowed to be exported is the Western Cape. Authentic Hoodia gordonii costs $300/kg USD on the open market as of April 2006.

What does Hoodia Do?

It suppresses the appetite. You simply do not feel hungry or like eating. According to a BBC report it “It has no known side-effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full.”

HOODIA in the News:

Here are a few newscasts and more information about Hoodia:

Wealth Beyond Reason

Melanie Rockett — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 22:27:06 +0000

Wealth Beyond Reason is what the website is called, but in actuality it talks about how our thoughts create our lives.

What are you thinking right now? Is this moving your life to where you want to be? or are you just thinking the "same old, same old" that is responsible for where your life is now?

"Everything in your life will continue to be exactly the same as it always has been. Because you will not allow your thinking to change. Your belief system - the one that you're so comfortable with, and yet has so far failed to deliver you a life of unbridled joy and abundance - will stay intact.

Nothing will change.

However, if you'll allow yourself to realize that sometimes the things that seem the most unbelievable are what end up being true, then you're opening a door to a whole new world of possibility."

I visit this fabulous website every week ... for motivation, encouragement and information. Be sure to check it out. Wealth Beyond Reason

Subliminal Power Software

Melanie Rockett — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 23:05:00 +0000

Several people have asked me about the Subliminal Power Software link on my website so I thought I’d talk about it in the blog.

If you are in front of a computer for more than an hour a day you will want to check this out.

Subliminal Power is a small program that will run on any Windows computer. It automatically loads when you start your computer and then it operates in the background. It flashes 100-millisecond messages while you work on your computer. It doesn’t matter what you are doing … writing an email, reading an ebook, working or playing computer games, it works in the background.

Though the messages are “invisible” to your eye, your unconscious mind is able to pick up the subliminal messages and use them to change your life.

Once you download the program, you are able to totally control what you will see via the message editor. You can also play relaxing music in the background - or select any of the Baroque "60 beats per minute" tunes that help synchronise your brainwaves and get you into a receptive "flow" state.

The reason I am mentioning this program is because it has 21 “pre-programmed” modules. Several of the modules can specifically help with weight loss.

Accepting your Physical Self - learn to love the physical you

Get Motivated! - use this module to pump yourself full of "get-up-and-go!"

Releasing your Past - let go of past events that are holding you back, from the deepest of levels
Learning to Love Yourself - rocket your personal development by loving the true you
Lose Weight Quickly - make your body shed weight quicker and stop the pounds piling up.

I have been using the “memory” modules for about a month now. Though it is hard to measure how much of a difference it is making, I AM noticing some improvement. And of COURSE I’m using the weight-loss modules, but the effects are even harder to measure since I’m using a pile of other techniques at the same time. I am DETERMINED to become Slim, Trim, Strong, Fit and Maybe Even Downright Skinny so I’ll use anything that helps!

Go and see for yourself >> Subliminal Power Software

Have a FABULOUS day!

Melanie
