\"cookiemonster\"<\/a>
\nI was looking into Canadian – British Columbia related information and somehow, stumbled upon this blog as I was – actually to confess – looking for a recipe to recreate these cookies I got addicted to while there.
\nWhat kind of cookies? The package reads:<\/p>\n

– “Sprouted 100% whole grain cookies”
\n– “No Egg or Dairy”
\n– ” Made with Chia and Flax”
\n– “Digest like vegetables” !!!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cookies = Vegetables ???
\nWhhaaat? Doesn’t it sound too good to be true? BUT, they exist! Okay, not quite like veggies as they are made with sugar \ud83d\ude41
\nStill, what a great blog <\/a>! I would cut down on the sugar or replace the sugar with perhaps apple sauce or dates though but … otherwise, such fun site to explore as Vancouver was:) Some bloggers are … amazing. (I was taken to this site because I wanted to re-create these cookies – modifying this recipe<\/a> to do something about sugar… AND the ones in Vancouver had Chia seeds in them – very chewy…I may have to consult my Macrobiotic Cooking teacher – Shinobu-sensei:)<\/p>\n

BTW, had you not already guessed, I love cookie monster …and live by the same philosophy:)
\nMunching down cookies, it’s a wonder that I somehow manage to be at my college days weight after going through a lot like a yo-yo in terms of weight. (I actually wanted to get down to 100-105lbs but this neighbor lady I respect took a look at me and said, “you lost enough weight – but no more, okay?”. From Japanese standard, I am fat ? but… I think I will just listen to her out of respect. Anyway, muscles weigh more than fat and …yes, <\/p>\n

The key is… No white sugar.<\/p>\n

\"Sugar-is-As-Addictive-As-Cocaine-\"<\/a>From www.positivemed.com<\/a>, a great resource.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting – did you see THIS article<\/a> which makes you realize how difference in perspective changes how you are perceived … no wonder, I used to sometimes feel FAT in Japan but relatively thin? or rather normal in US – What is considered IDEAL is different depending on which country you are in. It’s all about the Perspective so why let others judge you? Ideal weight is when you feel light and energetic – not whatever you see in the mirror – in fact, why even look at the mirror, other than to smile with unconditional love and motherly approval – trust yourself. You are “ideal” in this Universe:)<\/p>\n

Perspective doesn’t shape your life, it IS your life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
