Many scientists are seriously concerned about risk GM foods pose to our health and environment.

First, no credible research is available to prove safety of GM foods. The few independent studies conducted so far have instead raised alarm - young rats being fed with GM foods showed hazardous effects in their stomachs. Other studies suggest that bacteria of vital importance to human body can be contaminated by genes infused in GM food. Some genes are feared to have long term serious and irreversible effects on our health system, either by themselves or their mutations.

Second, genetically modified food is detrimental to our environment. The pollution of other plants by GM crop seeds in Thailand test fields demonstrates that transgenic contamination is unavoidable and hence probability of creating super-strong plant species which can overtake native ones is high, thus destroying biodiversity of local environment. These "superweeds" have already started to emerge in various parts of Canada, which is one of many reasons that Europeans have steadfastly resisted importation of American "contaminated" food. As shown by a recent case where a Canadian farmer found that artificially introduced genes showed up in his supposedly organic crops, contamination will, in long run, destroy organic foods by depriving them of their purity.

Telling yourself you have to "struggle with this weight issue for rest of my life," is as good as telling yourself there's no point in trying. "Why bother? I'll just gain it right back. It's no use. I might as well eat more cake. Poor me. Life is hard. You know drill. Life's a beach.

Stop struggle by stopping self talk that supports struggle. You've heard it before - what you focus on is what you receive. No where is that more true than in believing it is a struggle to stay healthy. Who would want to be healthy if it's such a horrible struggle? Yet, you've probably seen people who are fit, healthy and happy? You might even know a few. They seem to bounce when they walk. They're animated, and excited about life, and no, if you asked them, they wouldn't say it's a struggle. "What do you mean," they'd ask? Struggle? Nah, I like it this way," and they'd mean it.

Forget notion that you have to struggle and eat celery sticks for dinner. It's not true. Despite fact that you've lost weight before and gained it right back too, despite your belief that you can't even look at food without gaining weight. All of those thoughts are just more beliefs that are keeping you stuck. What you focus on becomes your reality.

What if You Never Got Hungry?

I'm a prime example. I don't struggle. Some days I eat a lot. Some days not so much. Some days very little. Yesterday I ate my usual breakfast and then, strangely, I just didn't feel hungry all day. I felt different somehow. Not ill, but I just didn't want to eat. "What's up with this?," I thought to myself, but I decided to just ride it out and see what happened. Well, I'm here to tell you that nothing happened. I lived to tell another story, see another day. Nothing fell from sky and world didn't stop spinning because I didn't eat much yesterday. It was just another day.

Today I ate a few handfuls of malted milk balls. No big deal to me, but I know many of you are thinking, "I'd never be able to eat just some, I'd have to eat them all," and that is my point. Telling yourself you can't eat "some," or as many as you want, but that you believe you'd be compelled to eat them all, no matter how many there were is a belief that is keeping you stuck. I don't believe that to be true, and so, for me it is not true.
