I’m not talking about the stealth bombers shaped like Doritos chips…

Greetings from 5AM Monday morning. I was told yesterday was the day of rest… However, I found myself replacing a washing machine… It was not even the first time I had seen behind this specific washing machine. I had set it approx 4 years ago.

I always end up giving up by Monday instead…

Anyway

Food. Haha, oh I am sure it is a touchy subject for you as it is for me. We can even take a step back, “human fuel”. Like all the things that you consume that are ment to “propel” you.

I treat myself like a science experiment

I have for a long time, since high school, oh gosh this really is like a diary, but here it is, the earliest memory I have contemplating food was when I was like 8 years old, 10 years old. It was a very long time ago.

I talk about childhood a lot in my writing. I think it helps a me understand my current situation… I share to give any reader context for my thoughts. I try to “leave it all on the table”, as they say.

If I tell you my most original remembrance of a topic, how can I then attempt to spin the following ideas to “cover my agenda”. I am telling you my agenda!

I say all of that, because I said at first, this is a touchy subject…

My memory, I was laying in bed. I had been to the doctor and they said I was overweight. I was so discouraged, I wanted to even as a child be a “fire fighter or an astronaut”. Ok try to calm me all you want… I knew none of those people were “overweight”. And that’s it, it upset me. So I started reading those stupid labels. I would count and then add them up, I did this daily in my head at night. I would try to remember all the labels from that day and add them to see what had happened. I would get mad at myself if I did not that day.

So it was probably hormones. I was a late bloomer and needed the energy to grow tall. I believe, this is what happened. AT THE TIME IT WAS NOT OBVIOUS.

I use food to “win”

Now, all the above said, I still think food is extremely important to keep track of. Idk, maybe it is just because my childhood brain went down some rabbit hole it should have just eaten the cheezits and been happy.

In a physical sense, I use water to not die from dehydration, you know I take my wins where I can get them! I use coffee to wake up, that’s a win. Gosh people, winning shouldn’t be that hard! Not all the time, impossible sometimes but shesh, not all the times what is that?

Controlling your life threw food and exercise.

I will now beat a dead horse… You need to get on that dude.

You can literally turn yourself into Arnold Schwartzanager! Metaphorically…

My personal experience

You can start to feel it in your bones… You can become so resilient, and you can watch it leave just as quickly. Delicate high orders are very difficult to maintain…

The child laying in bed counting calories was being mislead. The principle he was practicing I believe was important. Observe, reflect. That lead me to think about all the other ways to measure foods and all the other ways they could effect me. “Might as well check the vitamin C while I’m here”. Hey last month the Frosted Flakes had 130 cal per serving. “Hey what the heck even in skim milk vs regular milk”.

Being confident in yourself and your body

I hate to call out my parents. They have given me I would say on every front more than someone should want or expect from their parents. However, I have a bone to pick with their food choices…

They bought a lot of processed crap. Honestly. Yes like I said, they gave us more than a lot of kids got in fresh veg, however, there was never not a highly processed sweet treat lurking somewhere for me.

Like I said I needed the calories looking back, but they could be been a little healthier?!

RED 40, partially hydrogenated anything oil, emulsifiers, solvent traces, distorted natural ratios, white bread. All that was in my childhood pantry.

Persistent stress and inclination

I believe that chemicals and bad foods, bad ratios of foods, too much food, not enough food, not enough of the right kind of food. All of those conditions induce STRESS.

Stress, we know that when the body is “stressed”, it does weird stuff.

If we are doing weird stuff… We probably don’t want to go on a date or pick up a new hobby… We probably just want to lay in bed…

Don’t just lay in bed

Figure out what the heck is causing you to and kick its butt to the curb! Please, everyone has “those days”… but if you are having “those days” more than you want, FIX IT!

Your tool is INPUT

Food is the biggest one, but as I said at the beginning, food is one but there are many, everything that comes into our senses as an individual is an “input”. Consumables are just like persistent in us vs like sounds.

Chickory root fiber makes my stomach upset

It does, every single time, for some reason it took me like 20 tries before I realized it was that. Look at me “healthy natural fiber”, well my body prefers idk, gastrointestinal distress as Freddy from MiB3 would say…

The beauty of “letting it happen”

Did you know if you put gas in your car, or whatever, change it. It will move!!! Yes I know this is groundbreaking. But there is a subtle beauty in this situation we can take for our own fleshy “cars”.

It is the principle that ourselves, like any system, combination of systems, machines, etc. We know and can be conferred in knowing if we expose these things to the right inputs, they yeild advantage!

Sit back and watch it go

Put the gas in the car, watch your “hard work” get to producing forward momentum! In fact, the beauty is, the universe at this point is actually INSISTING, you go forward.

By putting gas in the car, or charging it, you created a chemical/ mechanical geometry that, without spending all day explaing the physics, must continue to propel itself. For the gas will ignight, that energy will go somewhere, the walls of the cylinder are in fact strong enough to force it into a direction that will convert its chemical energy into mechanical energy. If there is some sort of disruption, we have not lost the energy, it will have gone into other directions and not into our piston!

If you want to stop this situation, something is going to need to happen, the engine will need to fail, or the gas will need to run out, but there will be a “cause”. For we have given cause for it to keep moving, at an atomic level, even if all we did was dump in the funny smelling liquid.

Food as causation for health

Or I mean, you could use it as causation for death, as myself does on “those days” haha.

You can create causation in your body and you do every single day. When you injest something, you are “forcing” chemical reactions, you are causing all of these things to happen. The hard part can be, we need to, multiple times per day. We must, for lack of food is as harmful as surplus of toxins.

We all “make it work”

I ate chickory root at least 20 times before I realized I was sensitive to it. I could have even lived with the pain if I had to for some reason.

Have you ever seen a tree growing through a fence? You know, the tree can look fine, but at the base I have found many with something constricting them, they grow these lumpy sores over like pieces of rope, or bricks.

Look at those trees, look at how it is living and trying, but at its base there is a festering lump. I always just wonder how far it will last and how much healthier it could be without this limp.

Find your lumps

Always try to find things that are chocking you, stressing you, remove them. Take the tree with the rope around its trunk, without this rope it has a hundred years of full life to take advance of everything about its own unique but shared natural geometry.

Take the tree with a rope, it now lives maybe not even 1/5 as long as without it, and for the entire duration of its life it is unable to fully express itself, burdened by the rope

The tree did not rope itself

And no, it is not because man is evil, if it was not for man the tree might not have had a chance at life at all. The farmers paradox…

The tree did not do it to itself, but if it is not fixed we know what will happen. There has been hundreds of years of study on this subject. There is no argument anymore. We know if a being is spending energy to fight off something, it will not live as long and its life will not be as full.

Rope removal policy’s

Haha, screw you tree killing ropes! If I see you I know what you look like and I have my pocket knife, I’ll cut you right off and let the tree breath! Because I have the information that I need to know that if I see one, it needs to go,

I will try to stop the metaphor. The point of this heading is, systematically eliminate things that cause you stress. Ruthlessly and without mercy because we really do not have time to waste here. Every day is a gift!

Who put the rope there?

Usually, it was actually someone with nothing but “ wholesome intentions”. I have put ropes around trees, likely I have left a few there, probably really screwed some up, probably might even again!

”The best laid plans of mice and men”… Often go arye!

Conclusion

Cut your ropes, whatever they are. Whatever things are in your life causing you to sink energy and giving nothing in return except a larger festering mass of rot and ickkk. Lookup “tree bark tumors”, I hate those things, I have planted and maintained approx 10 fruit trees since 2015-2026.

One of my ropes is Chickory root, idk I am going to think about the rest in private…
