You come up negative for the hepatitis C virus but there's liver

inflammation and fibrosis. That's hepatitis, of course, but is the cause

HCV?

Welcome to the group and congratualtions on your success so far.

The thing about willpower, and covers this well, is that we all have

it in abundance. When we break down and binge; it is not a lack of willpower

that causes it. It is the unhealthy relationship we have with food. I don't

know how far you are, but address this in some of the early podcasts.

My recommendation is to take each podcast one at a time. only does one

a week at the most because that is how long you should work on the things

she discusses in them before tryng to move on. Now after you have listened

to them, you can go back and review at any pace that is comfortable, but I

think going through them to fast will just be a little to overwhelming.

Well that's my $0.02. Good luck, congratulations, and welcome.

Thank you!? I'm very happy to be here.? I subscribed about a week ago and

couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any emails, then went to the site and

realized I'd set my account up to send emails to that arbitrary yahoo email

address that I had to set up with my yahoo account years ago...and incidentally,

not an email address I ever use.? I guess that wait added to my excitement about

this group and finally being able to post!? hehe

Hello all! I joined about a week ago and have been listening to IOWL

for almost 2 months now, and it has totally inspired me. I am

grateful to have found her, because like so many I yo-yo like crazy.

I get really motivated about losing weight, exercise EVERY day, eat

very little, and lose weight. Then....I want some real food, or some

chocolate or whatever it may be and spiral out of control. When I

run, and do Yoga I feel great. I have more confidence, and just have

a better outlook on life. But, when I don't exercise I tend to get

depressed. I just want to create a healthy lifestyle rather then

jumping from one extreme to the next. Also I am a strong believer in

the LOA, and I dont know if any of you have read " You can Heal your

Life " By Louise L. Haye, but in it lists several ailments and dis-

eases, and under belly fat (which is where i gain all my weight) it

says Anger at not being nourished. I sometimes feel like its hopeless

because I have some underlying issue that is holding onto the weight.

I want to get to the bottom of it, but dont know how. I would like

to go for a run tonight, and ease my way back into it instead of

making myself run 3-5 miles. I would like to learn to be kinder to

myself, and accept my body just the way it is right now, so that it

may change. Anyway I am glad to be part of this wonderful group, and

thank all of you for sharing and inspiring us all.

Blessings,
