Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 2007, wear sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind You will never understand the power And the beauty of your youth until they've faded But trust me, in twenty years You will look back at photos of yourself
And recall in a way you can't grasp now How much possibility lay before you And how fabulous you really looked You are not as fat as you imagine
"Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young", commonly known by the title "Wear Sunscreen", is an essay written as a hypothetical commencement speech by columnist Mary Schmich, originally published in June 1997 in the Chicago Tribune. Wikipedia
LISAonthego, What Triggers YOU? What is a trigger? For LISAonthego it is a negative feeling that sparks into her deepest core of who she is. It reminds her of not being good enough, and she is feeling alone or separate. Then she reacts or responds.
What triggers you and what do you do about it?
When LISAonthego is triggered she fall backs on to her addiction of eating. LISAonthego feels we all have addictions, some more noticeable than others. Depending on the trigger depends on the reaction or response. LISAonthego is learning to acknowledge the triggers and to respond. Reactions are more aggressive, more noticeable, revengeful, even on us and egotistical.
In the past week, she had a day that triggered the best of her, criticism. Others told her what they think, being outright rude, negative and she didn’t ask or even suggest an opinion on what they thought about her life now or in past. Later LISAonthego hides like a turtle goes into her shell to process. When she comes out she's craving the carby, sugary foods. However this time, she stopped, listened and thought about it. What would eating accomplish?
LISAonthego loves hugs and the feeling of being comforted.
Eating gives this same feeling but it doesn’t resolve the event, comment or situation. Eating gives her the thoughts of how we use a band-aid. Temporarily feeling better; until the thoughts come up again and again. Then she eats the carby, sugary foods and the cycle continues. This time as she ate she acknowledged the feelings and concludes this doesn’t resolve anything; as that situation, event or comment came into her thoughts again and again. It's just a band-aid to those feelings until they passed. This is awesome, LISAonthego now sees and feels the cycle.
Eating for her is an action to divert the attention from acknowledging her feelings of being hurt or feeling unwanted, unloved, betrayed, embarrassed or humiliated.
LISAonthego looking at herself realizes this is one of her triggers. She is currently making a list so she knows her triggers to make a change. She needs to change her reactions otherwise there will be no changes. When she writes down her triggers she needs to also go within and write down how she could change her reaction so eating will not be her go to place. LISAonthego realizes this is an addiction. The addiction speaks to her and gives her a false sense of feeling better. It is just a reaction that she interprets as feeling better to get through it. LISAonthego now needs to change or she will continue to get the same results. At these times she could focus on the tools and activities at Spiritualfitnessonthego to make a positive change.
LISAonthego has allowed others to define who she is by their comments or remarks. She knows for herself these are untrue however she gives the power to others of authority thinking they know best and they do not. By allowing or believing others false judgments or interpretations she gives her power away, her energies away and LISAonthego goes into the ego of self-doubt to coping with an addiction until she could heal and until the next time.
LISAonthego is choosing when triggered to do the activities and tools in Spiritualfitnessonthego and listen to herself spiritually in her heart and to do what resonates with her. The first part to know and to recognize is What Triggers You? LISAonthego will make a list today so she could do things differently and get different results. Imagine what these could be and what life could be like! Love, Laughter & Peace, LISAonthego

LISAonthego's feels the word obesity is being misused today. For this blog, she is referring to obesity as being overweight and functioning in society well and caring for yourself. Truly being obese is a medical condition and for LISAonthego is someone who is overweight and can't take care of themselves on a daily basis due to their body physicalness caused by the weight. Everyone regardless
of our weight could "Shape-UP" our mind, bodies, and spirit, read more....
(an honest moment for LISAonthego - Professionals refer to her as "obese"). In LISAonthego's opinion, she is overweight. This video helped her to move forwards and start working on "Shaping UP" come join LISAonthego today with her quest.
LISAonthego loves this video it resonates for her. In the back of her mind, she has felt being overweight is not the main issue. If this were true then the professionals would have a specific food diet with the components we need quote/unquote "healthy". If this were true she feels with our technology and knowledge we would have a pill formula that would be designed to fulfill our human requirements. In addition, this could end world hunger.
With that being said the fad diets don't work even the best known. Two years ago LISAonthego did a health fad and a few months later a good friend joined too. We both lost weight, however, we also lost half our hair and breaking of nails etc. We also both gained back the weight. LISAonthego is ready to do this again her own way. Eating the foods that resonate with her, along with exercising, walking, yoga, meditation and just get up and around more.
LISAonthego will be using the tools and activities on www.spirituafltnessonthego.com. This website has yoga for everyone (Chair Yoga to Advanced Power Flow). LISAonthego will keep you updated on her progress. Today is the day she will start, tomorrow comes and goes, so there's no better time than in the present moment.
LISAonthego calls her new routine "Shaping UP" to feel and look your best overall.
LISAonthego also agrees with the video thinner people are not healthier or live longer than overweight people.
Back to the point. I agree with the video in LISAonthego's experience this has been true. She is not saying go ahead and be overweight, eat and drink the wrong foods for you. She is saying what are you comfortable with looking? Yes, LISAonthego also agrees with the video about exercise and says no it doesn't need to be hard-core. However, a well-structured routine to keep our bodies moving and circulating. The tools and activities on www.spiritualfitnessonthego.com have something for everyone. Now including wholesome products: skin care, candles, jewelry etc. (Come check out our shop www.spirituaflitnessonthego.com).
