				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Yes, we can do this! Drop weight and stress &#8211; starting now! And <strong>Never WORRY About Weight Again</strong>.</p>
<p>You may wonder why I got behind <strong>Skinny Body Care</strong>. Believe me, it was no accident. I spent months watching what was happening with this company before I came on board. I was already in a direct marketing company that I love and using their nutrition products &#8211; still do, but this is about <strong>Skinny Fiber</strong>.  It just so happens that I am a baby boomer, but it does not matter what adult age group you are in if you are stressed and 20lbs or more over your best (and desired) weight. It is not fun.  Excess weight feels crappy.  It bogs us down, slows us down, robs us of our youthful vitality, and sets us up for major health problems. It perpetuates the negative. Being overweight is like an underlying platform of misery!<br />
<a href="http://alexandrabarrett.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/SBCFiber-Bottle.jpg"><img src="http://alexandrabarrett.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/SBCFiber-Bottle.jpg" alt="" title="SBCFiber Bottle" width="210" height="235" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-80" /></a> </p>
<p>Have you ever noticed that we are rarely happy when overweight? Why is that?</p>
<p>I believe it is because our balance is off, our cells are toxic, and we feel like something is wrong when we look in the mirror, go to try on clothes, go out to meet people, attend social events and find ourselves comparing how we look to others. We hear others referring to so and so as &#8220;fat&#8221; and wonder if that is how they describe us!  Sadly, it is how we describe ourselves.</p>
<p>Worse yet is that we get so down on ourselves that it interferes with all of our thinking and we are filled with negative self-image thoughts anytime we anticipate being around other people. So much for a socially active life! We hide behind the computer getting heavier and more frustrated with our inability to change our self-image. It gets depressing and it gets lonely.  Self-esteem goes down the toilet and television and computers replace people in our lives. We become more and more isolated.</p>
<blockquote><p>You don&#8217;t deserve that and neither do I. Being overweight prevents us from getting that dream job, being promoted,keeps us out of the inner circle at every job and robs our lives of their natural healthy relationships and pleasure.</p></blockquote>
<p>I can&#8217;t speak for you, but when I am 20+ lbs. overweight, I won&#8217;t go clothes shopping! I hate trying on beautiful new clothes that look great on the hanger and rediculous on me!  Not to mention that I have a closet full of clothes that I love in a smaller size! What a waste of money, time, and energy! I go home feeling worse than when I left. <em> After all, there is nothing more uplifting than the snickers of a 20 someting sales staffer who is a size zero to bring your size 12-14-16-18 clothes to you standing half naked in the dressing room!<br />
</em> NOT!</p>
<p><strong>Ever stood by as your mate went from 34&#8242;s to 36&#8242;s to 38&#8242;s to 40&#8242;s? How depressing. For both of you. </strong></p>
<p>So- THAT is why I got into Skinny Body Care.  Whatever you may think of the name and the packaging aside&#8230;too girly-too pink..here is the scoop: IT WORKS.  I am telling you that it works. I wake up in the morning after dreams of being skinny to find that I am, in fact, LOSING WEIGHT every day! We both are!  It feels so good!<br />
<a href="http://alexandrabarrett.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Time-we-left.jpg"><img src="http://alexandrabarrett.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Time-we-left-300x168.jpg" alt="The Time is NOW" title="Time we left!" width="300" height="168" class="size-medium wp-image-82" /></a> The Time is NOW</p>
<p><strong>No Sacrifice Required!</strong> </p>
<blockquote><p>This is the ABSOLUTE BEST $59.00 a month I have ever spent.<br />
Everyone who uses this product has told me, &#8220;I will never be without it again!&#8221;<br />
and   &#8220;Hands down I would give up one night or dinner out per month<br />
to afford my Skinny Body Care.&#8221;<br />
I believe them because I AGREE! </p></blockquote>
<p>For the record, let me say that it is amazing how much less stressed I feel  when I am not down on myself for being overweight. My positive attitude shifts back into 5th gear and I am coasting downhill on the freeway of life. Everything is just easier.  Getting up and doing something is easier. Feeling beautiful is easier! </p>
<p><strong>I may not be the typical Skinny Body Care customer.</strong> It is true that I have never been 50 lbs or more overweight and I cannot claim to know exactly how that feels, but most of the very successful people I have met at Skinny Body Care have been 50-100+ lbs. overweight. Their stories of self-abuse and lonliness, ridicule and rejection are heartbreaking, but guess what??? After years of failure they got up and did something about it that worked!! </p>
<p><strong>AND don&#8217;t kid yourself, it feels just as awful to be 10-20 lbs overweight when you are petite, stout, and can&#8217;t get into your clothes!  Does anybody know what I mean? Who wants to be described as a cute little butterball?</strong> </p>
<p>They are the thousands of photo and video testimonials to the amazing success of Skinny Body Care.  The results are in for thousands and thousands of people and more each day who are finding this well recommended fiber weight loss product. </p>
<p>Skinny Body Care Fiber is a healthy, all natural product with NO caffeine that will fill you up before you eat so you eat less. It will turn off your hunger message and activate your metabolism, it will put you in control of your body again by giving you the energy to get up and go for a 20 minute walk twice a day to help your body move the toxins out.  </p>
<p>Think about how much time you spend in the kitchen&#8230; because now&#8230; you can walk, bike-ride, clean house, create something beautiful, work on the yard, the car, the garden, rearrange the furniture or build a new website without twenty trips to the kitchen looking for snacks! And you won&#8217;t be hungry! You can turn off the television and drive to the beach and walk in the sand to strengthen and shape your legs and get your cardio! You can even buy some rollerblades or take some ballroom or country dance lessons! The possibilities are endless!  (think vision board!) What do you want to do?</p>
<p><strong>It is amazing what we can do when energy, motivation and a new sense of self-esteem kicks in!<br />

<p>PLEASE NOTE: For those of you who are interested, this is also a great home business and different than any direct sales company I have ever looked at. Who could use an extra $1000 per month? The video will explain why you might want to take a look at this company as I did and try the product as a permanent part of your life and diet.  I recommend Skinny Body Care rather than a part time second job, which so many families have turned to.</p>
<p>The world belongs to those who have a vision, who map out a plan, who know they deserve all there is in this wonderful world of variety and toys and options.  It belongs to those who TAKE ACTION! Join me.</p>

If he is unsuccessful he must return to the past again and again until he gets the lessons of enjoying life and being good to himself, loving and defending himself, and not feeling guilty or bad about himself anymore. The &#8220;prosecutor&#8221; chooses the incidents for review from a perfect imprint recording of his life. He must watch and defend his choices in the review. Albert Brooks defending his life&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3GNjHFUz6yk?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Starring Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, it is a hilarious and well-acted story in my opinion. Beyond that, it is a provocative story that I watch about three times a year just to get the juices of self-review going and see where I am at with myself. If I died unexpectedly today, how would my life look to me and others and would I need to defend my choices or would they speak on my behalf? Would random incidents replayed on laser disc reveal the life of a courageous, self-contained and confident woman who loved herself and others joyfully and without restraint? Would fearless generosity and willingness to play the game of life be the method of operating revealed?  Hmmmmm&#8230;</p>
<p>This film, while very entertaining, can be deeply insightful and at times even painful to watch. I bought a copy so as not to wear out the rented copy and just because it is one of those films that you keep forever. Is conscious self-growth your thing?  If so you will enjoy &#8220;Defending Your Life&#8221; and as an avid Albert Brooks fan anyway, it cemented my appreciation of this brilliant writer, actor , producer, director. He and Meryl Streep are wonderful together and believable. </p>
<p>What is it about how you express yourself that you wish were freer, more relaxed, more accepting, more joyful, and even perhaps more generous? This film will help you to begin the process of identifying and addressing those things for yourself and in your own time. Self-growth happens to everyone, of course, but consciously choosing to grow and going after it in workshops, reading, entertainment choices, and even work choices, can really catapult a life to a new consciousness level beyond what is deemed the norm for the average life. Personally, I do not believe in &#8220;one and done&#8221; and I think we  take consciousness to a new level when we choose to grow. What I have come to realize is that whether I am right about living multiple life experiences or not, being a better person who gets more enjoyment out of life can never be a bad thing. Having fun and loving ourselves thus our Creator, Source, our God, can never be hurtful, only helpful. </p>
<p>If I ever do find myself in the position of defending my life, I would like to have few regrets and lots of great memories!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Welcome to your daily dose of positive self growth with me,  Alexandra Barrett.  Have you noticed &#8230;We have one major job in this lifetime and that is to LIVE. Whether we live timid and fearfully or live in awe and gratitude &#8211; the clock is ticking and it will until we reach the end of this awesome experience. Every moment counts.</p>
<p>This is NOT a dress rehearsal. Regardless of our spiritual beliefs, we will never be who we are here now again. This is it. These are the defining moments.</p>
<p><strong>It is your screenplay of your life in living color</strong>. (And it may need some editing and reorganizing.) Are you satisfied? Would you like to make it better? Do you feel less than fully alive and connected to the flow? I have been there! That was and is a driving force for me.  Physical health, mental and emotional health, spiritually awakened living, work and purpose I am passionate about,  financial stability and fearlessness; these are all the facets of my own personal energetic intranet of focus.  I have met and worked with many of the best trainers, writers, and coaches alive today and available, along with my husband Michael.  As part of my network, I want to share all of that with you while assisting you on your own personal path.</p>
<p>Join me here and we will support each other and edit and reorganize together. Self growth, spiritual awakening, positive thinking, and the helping people understand and help each other, are all part of a sales trainer- self growth facilitator&#8217;s lifestyle. It can get a little intense because we do facilitate change and growth.</p>
<p>Together we are riding the 2012 waves of change and many of them are rough and tumble, but we will get through to the next phase of our expansion into being all that we can be in personal and professional life. Every day I will share what I find and many of my own experiences up to now that can make a difference to your quality of life.</p>
<p>I will tell you about great workshops and seminars, share the best books, introduce great coaches I meet along the way, and share what  I am doing that you might want to experience. There is so much information available for those who desire change, growth, and expansion.<em>We are all going to the next level!</em></p>
<p>Thanks for showing up and I am glad you are here!  If you like, sign up for new posts and workshop information and I will send it out when new dates and events are released.</p>
<p>Have an awesome day!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
