Mantras Working Fine

Yesterday (A Sunday) my son wanted to have a Pizza - the offer going on is with 1Large, 1Medium free. Also my wife's (and son's too) favorite garlic bread was a demand. It was delivered at sharp 12:30 as I told the pizza shop. I took one piece and I was full - so I stopped. Next one more piece at around 4pm when I was hungry. Till now everything is going fine.
Now comes the surprise - we're invited for the dinner - Ganapati puja in my son's friend's house and we're invited. My wife informed me that the foods served in that house in fabulous. So I'm tempted.
Now in the dinner as a part of the prasad, I get halwa - and this is my real real favorite sweet.
I took all other things and the halwas was last - as I was done halfway, I got the message that I'm full - so I left eating at that moment.

When I come back home, I'm a bit worried whether it was too much today with pizza and prasad which included puri,sabzi,fried rice, dal,salad and halwa.

Anyway , today morning I'm standing in the weighing machine and a surprise..... 300gms down.


I know for sure that the mantras are working !!!

Want to lose weight !!

I got four mantras from net to lose weight and it's working - I've lost 4kg in last 2 weeks without any exercise. In fact, I gained back in between when I missed the mantras.

Here it goes:

1. EAT WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT BUT ONLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY
2. EAT WHEN YOU WANT
3. STOP EATING WHEN YOU ARE "FULL"
4. EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY IS GOOD FOR "YOU"

The biggest barrier that one will hit while following these mantras is that 'how can I waste food" - and this is the catch. The moment your body says that it's done, it's done - no question.

I've observed that these mantras are already available with my 6year old son - nature has already given it to all of us. Alas! we forgot those. So I was lucky that I remember those now - now it's your turn . Enjoy !
