Hidden Sugar Equals Visible Weight Gain

Sugar is a health food, that is how is it publicized anyway. After all, it contains zero fat, provides instant energy, and makes almost any food taste better. The average American eats about 156 pounds of sugar a year - at least double what health experts recommend. Eating sugar is like flipping a switch that tells your body to store fat. And sugar is everywhere — not just in soda, candy, and desserts. It’s disguised in refined carbohydrates like bread, rice, and pasta, and even in beer and milk. If you think you don’t eat a lot of sugar, it’s time to take another look at labels on processed foods. You’ll probably be surprised. Many of you would be shocked to find out just how much sugar you regularly eat.

Sugar makes you fat. In fact, the less sugar you eat, the better. Here’s an example; during digestion, one slice of white bread is converted into the same amount of glucose as 4 tablespoons of sugar. The more sugar you down at any one time the longer you stay in fat-storage mode. Read more about the hidden sugars in your diet

Can you help this family ????

Shane Lawson and Summer Brown's lives have been turned upside down ever since a car jumped the curb and struck their baby's stroller in Charlotte, North Carolina back in July. Their baby, Noblely Lawson, was so severely injured that no one expected her to live, but she has. The parents were also injured although not as severely.But now to heap injury upon injury, the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services and Child Protective Services doesn't want Shane and Summer to take Noblely home. Why? Because Shane and Summer lived in a week-to-week motel prior to the crash. As of the end of August, Shane had leased a duplex, but the county is still not planning to release Noblely into his and Summer's custody.Shane and Summer are young, 19 and 16, and poor, but they have always provided Noblely with food, clothing and shelter. Shane works at a fast food job in order to take care of his family. Furthermore, they have given Noblely the most important thing parents can give a child--their love.As usual the Department of Social Services is refusing to answer questions about the case, hiding behind the curtain of privacy, which DSS always closes every time they are pressed about a foolish decision they have made.And apparently Mecklenburg County North Carolina Department of Social Services has made a lot of them lately. WCNC.com reported the following on July 28."A probe of misspending at a Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services Christmas charity has widened across the agency, and officials now say they are unable to say how much money may have disappeared over the years.The county’s second-largest agency, often a first stop for the community’s poor or neglected, has recently been reorganized. Director Mary Wilson, hired last summer, ordered audits following reports of suspicious spending.The audits looked at several spending programs and financial practices throughout the department.Among the findings:Mecklenburg County officials cannot account for $162,000 in donations meant to buy gifts for needy children. That includes a $10,000 check made out to an employee.Of the 840 receipts inspected for that program, 799 had problems, including receipts that were altered, whited out or omitted in photocopying."In spite of poor fiscal management Mecklenburg County DSS will not lack funds to fight the Lawsons and keep their child. They will take it from the seemingly bottomless pockets of the taxpayers.The Lawsons, however, need a tremendous amount of money to pay for their daughter's medical bills and to fight the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services in order to get their daughter back. You can help the Lawsons with a gift of money.Donations may be made to the "Noblely Yvonne Lawson Assistance Fund" at any branch of Wachovia bank or they can be mailed to:Wachovia Bank, NAAttn: Noblely Yvonne Lawson Assistance FundPO Box 26090Richmond, VA 23260-6090Please make checks payable to the Noblely Yvonne Lawson Assistance Fund c/o the fund's administrator, David B. Pevney, Attorney at Law, PLLC.

Christianity

I received the following letter from an email buddy. I felt I should share this with others. Enjoy!Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus,We know as Christians that we live in a dangerous world. However, it is really sad when you see a minister of the Gospel preaching HATE. No matter how we feel concerning the leader of this country who God put in office, I personally don’t like some of President Obama’s policies but I do respect him and his office and don’t wish or pray anything bad on him or his family. We all have a right to our own feelings, opinions and choices no matter who or what we believe in. God made us a free will being. He let us pick and choose our own praying ground. I chose Jesus when I was seven years old. My only grand daughter asked me about a month ago “how do you know we are right about who we picked to worship.” My answer to her was “have you checked out the founders of the other religions” (I named off a few) and I asked her if she knew where their graves were, and later I asked her where was our founder of the Christian faith. She answered me and I asked her “now, since He is the only one that has an empty grave and witnesses saw Him when He departed in His resurrected body and promised to return the same way when He comes back here to get us, wouldn’t you want to worship and serve someone who conquered death and rose again?” You should have seen the light come on in her 11 year old eyes, nothing can describe it! HE LIVES and that is why I can face tomorrow.We as Christians, including myself need to be more aware of who we let influence us. We need to pick the Bible up for ourselves and pray and read it and not rely on someone who is NOT being led by the Holy Spirit. This man who is preaching a hate gospel is not of God, he is preaching the gospel of demons. Can you imagine a so called pastor telling his congregation that he wants the president to die because of abortions and the war issues? I don’t agree with anyone who sides with the abortion issue but I don’t condemn them for their thoughts. As far as the war, well Christ said himself that we will always have wars and rumors of wars, no one can stop that. We have always had warring nations and wars within our own America .I am sickened beyond reason and I know who is behind this hatred….old slew footed satan. I do NOT capitalize its name, too much attention given to the head demon. God said to let the wheat and tares grow together and He would do the sifting. I heard a sermon on Sunday that said we were not to judge people. Well, that is not what the Scripture said. “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye measure it shall be measured to you again” (Matthew 7:1-2). There is a difference between judging and Bible definition and sometimes we get that all mixed up.Yesterday and this morning my husband and I went to the lake, didn’t catch many fish but we had a glorious time in the Lord and God was ministering to us while on the lake. I caught some nice legal take home cat fish. My husband caught a lot more fish than I did but they were not big enough. He threw them back in the lake and said “I could get away with this but a man of God is going to obey God and mans laws.” Now me, I knew better and I sure wanted those nice “crappie” fish but I knew that Jerry wasn’t going to do the No No. Sometimes, we as Christians pick out certain passages and laws we want to obey but God don’t see it that way. That is truly a form of stealing if he would have kept those fish. How many ways have all of us at one time or another STOLE FROM GOD? You be your own judge on that one. It is sad when we point out someone else sin and not look at the things we are doing and call ourselves Christians. God wants us to obey all His rules, not just the ones that we like. The game warden may have not been looking but God was. The closest way to have a relationship with God is to OBEY Him and live your lives like HE has given us in the real love book called “THE BIBLE.” With the hatred of Pastor Anderson, he has judged himself and heaped coals of sin and death on himself, his family and those who follow him. That man is preaching a doctrine of demons. Don't walk in the flesh, Galatians 5:16-21. If you and I are powered by the Holy Spirit, our Christian character needs to be like the Scripture says in Galatians 5:22-26. May God Bless each and every one of you.

Change Your Mind and Shift Your Paradigm: Using Positive Self-Talk to Conquer Any GoalBy V. Ivana Foster, The Confidence ArchitectFounder and Owner of The North Star Life Empowerment Program, Platinum Level Coaching for Success Driven Divas.Do you feel like you are always talking yourself out of success? As soon as you start to set goals for yourself, do you suddenly have nagging thoughts about how you aren't up to the task or how you simply aren't qualified to carry it through?If you have ever experienced either situation, you need to change the way you respond to your inner dialogue. Instead of obeying your negative commands, you can use positive self-talk to counter the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts.Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-TalkAre you initially filled with excitement when you first set goals for yourself? Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started?It can be difficult to make the most of your life when you are constantly talking yourself out of being a success. It can be frustrating and discouraging to have these thoughts constantly plaguing you. Many of us, in fact, don't even realize we have them! All we know is that we don't have the confidence to stick to our plans and reach our goals.But there's another way!Positive self-talk is an effective way to set goals and ensure that you stick to them, even if you have never been able to do this before. The way this works is that you decide what goal is important to you, and then you plan the logistics of how you are going to attain this goal. When self-doubt starts kicking in, you will respond with affirmations that prove your success without surrendering to the negative pressure. Since you're reading this article, it's clear that you're no quitter and you're certainly not a failure, so start believing in yourself!Re-Programming Your MindAffirmations are essentially positive statements that re-program your mind for the positive. The moment you have a self-defeating thought you'd be able to counter the negative with a motivating statement. An example of a positive affirmation is: "I am worthy of great success," or "I see myself in the winner's circle." What this does is replace negativity with thoughts that will help you move toward your goals instead of further away from them.Positive self-talk is easier to implement than you might think. You may not be aware of the severity of the negative dialogue currently within your mind. However, once you begin with positive self-talk, you will suddenly realize that you are self-sabotaging the goals you set for yourself from the minute that you make them. This process can open your eyes to exactly how much this inner conversation has been interfering with your life. You'll feel hopeful that you can now set goals and surpass them.Through positive self-talk you will be able easily set long and short-term goals for yourself. And when you use affirmations, you'll have accessible tools to help you push yourself further than ever before. Learning to quiet negativity with positive thoughts is a great move toward setting and attaining future goals with ease.As Always,

Could this be foul play !!!!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Albuquerque police said foul play could be involved in the death of a 2-year-boy.The child was found Thursday after his stepmother called 911 saying the boy was unresponsive.Authorities said that woman could be responsible.The child was brought to University of New Mexico Hospital on Thursday afternoon and died hours later. Officials said he suffered massive internal trauma.Emergency responders showed up to SY Jackson Elementary in northeast Albuquerque Thursday afternoon. Police said a mother was waiting in the school parking lot to pick up her child when she pulled her 2-year-old stepson out of the car after noticing he wasn't breathing."A few hours later the child was pronounced dead," said Nadine Hamby, with APD.According to police, the stepmother told investigators the child was at a day care hours before they arrived at the school, but a spokesperson with CYFD, the agency that licenses day cares in the state, said they have no record of that child being enrolled in a program."We need to do a lot more talking to people find out where this child was throughout the day," said Hamby.Albuquerque police said the child could have been beaten. They said doctors at UNM Hospital said he suffered from blunt force trauma, but right now investigators can't conclude anything."We did call out the crimes against children unit to the hospital to investigate this case if the child died of natural causes the case will be cleared. If there was foul play we will investigate further," Hamby said.Police said autopsy results on the child are key to finding answers. Results for the autopsy should be ready sometime next week.The name of the stepmother has not been released because police said she is not a suspect and has not been arrested.A CYFD spokesperson said this family does not have any history with the agency.
