Food Fight

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D / March 23, 2012

To ultimately win the fight for healthy change, you need a mental makeover – because, as my motto so clearly states, "You can't change your weight until you change your mind." How you think about food determines the power it has over you. To create the shift in power you need to succeed, you must first change your thinking. After all, the physical act of eating always follows the mental decision to eat. There is no great mystery here as in that famous philosophical discussion regarding the chicken and the egg. The thought always precedes the action. This is precisely why you must attack the thinking first.

I often hear people speak about food being their friend in times of need. It becomes a faithful companion that you can always turn to when loneliness strikes, boredom sets in or stress raises its ugly head. When you use food for this purpose, you have established eating as a conditioned response. No matter how upset you are you can always turn to food. This is the mindset of someone who has given too much power to food.

After all, food doesn't question your judgment, ask you to justify your behavior or resist your approach. It is there as a conditioned response or habit that greets you with open arms welcoming you home. This leaves many people feeling like they have absolutely no power to resist and no hope at all of escape. I'm here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth. Make today the day you stop this food fight, begin resisting that magnetic pull and start living that healthier life you dream about.
Take Action:
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

Uganda is slowly opening up to having dialogue about gay rights
By Rodney Muhumuza / Associated Press / March 25, 2012

KAMPALA, Uganda - Four years ago, Frank Mugisha begged his colleagues to join him for his first demonstration in support of gay rights in Uganda. Only four came along.

Last week, during a march against gender-based violence led by the gay advocacy group Sexual Minorities Uganda, the Ugandan activist saw more than 30 colleagues walk the streets of Kampala holding gay rights posters.

"For us, this is a sign of progress," Mugisha said, pointing to the white tarpaulin under which his group assembled after Monday's hourlong march. "We are no longer afraid of anything. We even have a banner."

Uganda's homosexuals have been in the spotlight since a parliamentarian introduced a tough antigay bill in October 2009. World leaders condemned the proposed legislation, though many in Uganda applauded it.

Still, Mugisha carries a sense of optimism that is slowly germinating within the tightly knit gay community. The mere fact, Mugisha said, that Ugandans are now having a national conversation on gay rights is itself an achievement. In the past, the subject was taboo.

"We see a shift in public opinion, and I guess it's because many Ugandans are talking about homosexuality a lot," he said. "There are some local leaders who are now willing to meet and talk to us. The only problem we have is the belief people have that we are promoting homosexuality and recruiting children."

Activists believe the controversial law will never pass, and now they are pursuing legal action they expect will make it too costly for people to be hostile to gays.

Sexual Minorities Uganda, with help from the New York-based advocacy group Center for Constitutional Rights, filed suit last week against a Massachusetts pastor in US federal court. The lawsuit accuses Scott Lively of being the intellectual force behind the antigay bill.

Lively, who is based in Springfield, gained worldwide prominence in March 2009 when he traveled to Uganda to address the Parliament on "exposing the homosexuals' agenda." He told lawmakers that "the gay movement is an evil institution that's goal is to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity."

A week after the conference at which Lively spoke, a bill was introduced that would allow gays to be executed under certain circumstances in Uganda.

The court complaint asserts that Lively issued a call in Uganda to fight against a "genocidal" and "pedophilic" gay movement, "which he likened to the Nazis and Rwandan murderers." The suit asks for a judgment that his actions are illegal and violate international law and human rights.

Lively says his words were taken out of context and denies any wrongdoing.

Sexual Minorities Uganda believes that if it wins the suit, other American evangelicals it accuses of spreading antigay propaganda would stay away from Uganda.

"It's been a long journey," said Pepe Julian Onziema, a gay activist who works with Mugisha. "The suit against Lively is something we had been brainstorming about since he came here in March 2009. We felt, 'How can someone come from someplace and tell our people that we homosexuals are lesser citizens?' We felt really insulted."

The lawsuit against Lively is part of wide-ranging legal action that local gay groups are considering against individuals they consider hostile to the rights of homosexuals.

A similar suit is about to be filed at home against Simon Lokodo, the Ugandan ethics minister who personally broke up a gay conference recently, saying they were not authorized to meet.

Sexual Minorities Uganda also wants to bring to court David Bahati, the parliamentarian who introduced the antigay bill; three local pastors who championed the bill; and Lokodo's predecessor.

Bahati's original legislation proposed the death penalty for some gay acts. Bahati has said he has since dropped the death penalty provision, though the latest version of the bill has not been made public.
