Vaping It: E-Cigarettes #Vapor #e-cigarettes #healthandwellness #SpiritualLiving

It has been a long while since I wrote about physical health or addiction. Yesterday, I went to an audition where I was to play a spokesman for a new E-Cigarette or Vape. This brought up in me a sense of responsibility as to what, exactly, I would be claiming as ok or even a switch from the tar and nicotine, organic material that causes cancer and lung disease. Does this new kind of habit warrant some attention?

Literally, billions of people have switched from cigarettes to vaping, and most of them are children—teenagers, most of whom never even smoked. The draw to vaping is the hype, for sure. It is liquid nicotine that is vaporized by a battery-powered gadget that looks to be the size of a cigar. The vapor is drawn into the body for that quick fix a cigarette smoker looks for in a smoker’s break at work. However, since smoking a vape has no regulations, the user can now vape at work, in restaurants, and any place he she feels like it.

The newest gag for high-school aged kids is to vape in front of their parents without them noticing it. This rage is causing many new users to have a dopamine fix every time they use their e-cig, which means they are habit-forming, indeed. Should we be alarmed and ask for some regulations?

Vapes come in all colors and look almost elegant, ranging in price from 30-300 dollars. Some are slimmer than others, which mean that these new slimmer models will hold less of a nicotine punch. However, the slimmer, more colorful models, are causing young women to hit the streets and beaches with matching purses and vapes. Kids get to have their nicotine fix and no one in the government, of course, can find a way to help the real issues because they are still fighting over gay marriage, immigrants, and Donald Trump’s hair.

I’m not convinced there is anything here to worry about expect that kids now have a way to sneak cigarettes without getting cancer—we think. Has anyone really ever studied this? No. So, maybe in ten years we will discover a new disease that kills off half of our race of teenagers. The problem is that nobody knows—anything. But, with most risks, kids are the likely users, because they feel fearless and have less to lose than adults. For adult smokers of tobacco, e-cigs are certainly better for their bodies, but what about the powerful surge of dopamine, which happens to any addict who relies on a fix?

Let me know what you think. If you have tried vapes and are an avid user, let us know how you feel. If you are against this and have some research to backup your idea, let me know too. This is a discussion we need to start.

The Bounce-Back Effect

The Bounce Back Effect

You may have recently heard about the lawsuit Apple v. Samsung. One of the issues of copyright was the bounce back effect of the IPhone. Steve Jobs said it was one of his favorite features of the newest IPhone. The feature bounces you back to the top of the page when you have to scroll down a long page of text on the web.

But today we are not talking about the IPhone or Steve Jobs, though I love my Iphone and love bouncing back every time. I absolutely hate the idea of bounce back when it refers to losing weight and then bouncing back to your original weight or higher. My clients and I both hate the human nature of homeostasis.

Several days ago I started, yet, a new outlook on losing this midsection ten pounds. Recently, I told you that unless I absolutely can say without a shadow of doubt that I am 100% committed to losing this weight, not a chance it hell will it come off. This is true, because as I had lost 4 pounds as of yesterday. Today, however, I gained 2 pounds back. Why? Because, yesterday I had to take a friend to an operation. We had to wait two hours longer than expected. Then, as we drove up to the Walgreen’s drive thru, a technician announced she didn’t have the prescription in stock. So, we had to go to another Walgreens and wait twenty minutes. Because neither of us could wait any longer to eat, we stopped at a Dairy Queen.

I sincerely thought I was being good. I would get the four chicken planks and fries, not eat the fries, and get an Orange Julius, which had some vitamin C. “Oh, Bo!” Why why why? Even I see the senseless mistake that I made. Who can stand not eating some of those French Fries? I ate about 10. But still, now that I think of it, the Orange Julius probably had enough sugar in it to counteract everything, even though I ordered the smallest size and drank ¾ of it.

When we got to the drug store, Sharon insisted on buying Mint Milanos. Well, I thought, she is going to eat them. I don’t feel responsible for a friend buying comfort food. Except, I also partook in the luscious treat eating a total of six of those. As I filled my day with “things” to do and had 2 extra hours cut out of my day, I didn’t get to do my exercises, so I did a very shortened version of it.

Even with all that, I still gained about 1 ½ pounds. Even with trying, you will bounce back. Trying, I reiterate, is not enough. Had I been committed to the process, I would have started by stopping somewhere we both could have eaten a healthy lunch. There was a Japanese restaurant nearby. Then not eaten the cookies and I would have used some television time to exercise or at least bounce on my fitness ball. What I just described is commitment. What I did was “trying” to commit.

I learn yet another lesson about how to care for my weight-loss clients in my attempt to lose ten pounds. This is very similar to the idea that some smokers come up with: “Can you get me down to just one cigarette a day?” they ask.

My answer is, “Yes, I can do that. It will last for about two weeks, then you will be back to smoking a pack or more a day.”

It’s the bounce-back effect!
