Or...Jeans That Can
Change the World
Recently my mind was occupied with some of the really big things happening in the world lately: earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns, genocide, civil wars, political protests and uprisings, and election year. While distracted with these thoughts and getting dressed one morning, I discovered to my horror that my pants would not snap up.
My belly had gotten too big for my favorite jeans!
Now, I realize that my fattened belly hardly qualifies as an event of huge importance in the scheme of world events. But as a harbinger of even “bigger” things to come, it takes center stage in my little world. Because if my pants won’t zip up today, then what could tomorrow bring, or next week, or next month....?
After all, if I can remove stress from my daily life, no matter how small, then I'm freed up to use my energy in more beneficial ways and contribute to solutions in feeling, thought, and spirit -- in my neighborhood, city, state, country -- and even the world.
At least, that’s the way I see things.
So without the panic of a three-minute tsunami warning, I calmly and resolutely resolved to begin diet proceedings. While attempting to ignore the fact that diets don’t work – we all know that.
But.
I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, knowing what I do about the way food works and what can be done with it. So I’m sharing one of my favorite tips with you, in case you’ve found yourself with either a bit (or a lot) extra that needs your own private world’s attention.
It’s called carb cycling.
