What you do is what you are, and you are what you eat

Do you smoke? If you do, why? Truly think of why you are purposefully killing yourself. If you know you are, and fully accept it, your life needs a make over. Smoking is a self destructing habit, meaning you need to pull your head out of your ass, and start living life for you (you, meaning all of what makes you up)!! If you are now pissed at me for saying this, fine! It's because it's the truth, you know how I know? I used to be the same way!!

Are there people in your life, that have wronged you? Chances are the answer is YES! What is the BEST revenge? SUCCESS!!! So quit smoking!! If your excuse is, "well then, I'll just eat more,"then you need to work on self control, but I have the answer to that lame ass excuse......

Eat healthy food that tastes good. Stop eating the crap, that is making all of America HUGE!!

First thing is, READ ALL LABELS!!!
If you don't know what the heck the crazy long word, with all the x's and z's is....it's probably one of the ingredients to America's obesity problem; or just WRONG to be eating!! Even if you don't smoke, you might still be eating foods with carcinogens in them, which is not any better!! Or worse yet, arsenic. Nice huh?

If you drink diet pop, STOP! Un-natural sweeteners, toss em! All "pop"...garbage!!

Here's some ingredients to steer clear from:

Ambergris- Comes from whale intestines and is used in foods and beverages for flavoring.
Artificial color F,D &C food coloring- Comes from coal tar. Carcinogenic and traces of arsenic and lead have been found in it.
BHA/BHT- preservative that can be found in bacon, baked goods, canned items and powdered soups, which can cause birth defects, cancer, and infertility.
Carmine, cochineal, carminic acid- Crushed up female beetles used for red dye that is contained in red lollipops, red applesauce, and food coloring.
Duodenum substances- From the digestive tract of pigs and cows which is found in some vitamin tablets (but not the ones I sell http://www.amway.com/AmyFiedler/Shop/Product/Product.aspx/NUTRILITE-DOUBLE-X-Vitamin-Mineral-Phytonutrient-31-Day-Supply-with-Case?itemno=A4300).
Glycerin, glycerol-  A Byproduct of soap manufacturers, which normally uses animal fat. Found in things like toothpaste, mouthwashes, chewing gum, and foods.

There are TONS more...

READ THE LABELS!! BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE EATING!! QUIT SMOKING, IT'S TRASHY (and gross smelling)!!

Ending 2011 In The Best Way Possible

I remember saying at the end of 2010, "2011 is gonna be awesome, I can feel it!" Little did I know how fast 2011 would go!

I can thankfully say that while this year did zip by, being busy never ended! I set up goals at the beginning of 2011 and accomplished A LOT of them!! 2012's are even bigger, and I'm super excited about getting them accomplished too!! There is so much to look forward to!

2011 had it's not so great moments. I could have done without the funerals, loved ones hospital visits, and medical emergencies. There really were a lot of tragedies.

On the bright side.... I am super thankful for supportive people (friends and family), the ability to go to school, a wonderful relationship with someone I love, a cute little home, a job that I love, all my hobbies, my business, and all of the other little blessings that happen each day, that make life pleasant.

In these last few weeks of 2011, take a minute to reflect your life, this past year, and make appropriate changes so 2012 can be even better!!
