Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks for sharing that Jen. I said I wanted to re-commit, but I've haven't been making the time. Reading your motivators reminded me of what I'm working towards, or want to be working towards anyway. Keep up the good work! It sounds like you're doing really well. ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Sat, April 23, 2011 5:08:01 AM Subject: Re: reporting Unami and others who expressed an interest I do hope you will join me in reporting and sharing some of your insights as you do the work on InsideOutWeightLoss. As I said I would I listened to the first three podcasts again and I took some time to write my thoughts about towards and away from motivations. Then, I reviewed what I had written in December and January. I do feel a bit more centered and less desperate about my body and food situation. In a nutshell here are my towards motivators: I want to feel long, strong and lean in this body. I want to walk into a group with body confidence. I want to continue to enjoy nature and the ability I have to walk and not faint. I want to like the way I look in clothing. Here are my away from motivators. I want to quit the inner dialogue of self-hatred and unkindness. I want to stop or slow the osteoporosis caused by not taking care of my body. I want to slow the aging of my body. I do not want to get heavier. I want to have more energy and more desire to continue living. I visualized myself feeling healthy, walking tall and feeling confident and it felt fabulous. I ate without guilt. I ate enough and stopped when I was full. I had NO desire to starve, purge, binge, or over exercise. My body was in balance and working beautifully! I woke up feeling alive and ready for a day full of walking, rollerblading, playing with the kiddos, working in the garden and then being able to actually relax, put my feet up and ENJOY food. Future Goals: In the next two or three days I want to listen to 4 through 7 again and review the work I did on those and then begin in earnest on 8 which is where I think I stopped journaling. I will try to report back by Monday or Tuesday. Jen > > Hello everyone, I am new to tdshis group and am overwhelmed with the intensity >and sincerity of conversations.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Jen ...... my away from motivatiors are to enjoy my life and love each person in my life to my fullest ablity. Yeah I like to have energy and look nice in my clothes but I really don't worry about that. Mostly I just want to be mentally, emotionally and physically healthy.  My away from motivator is to avoid not being able to walk or bend over in my sixties. I relize I will age but I want to have the strength to hold my grand and great grand children and do the things I love to do. Garden, paint, and read. I feel so bad for my MIL she is so immoble and can barely drive or stand. Defently want to be more like my grandmothers. One was still caring for great grand children and gardening and working in her seventies and my other grandmother is seventy six and she works in a nursing home. Pushing people in wheelchairs and reading to them and being good company for them. My dads wife is the same way. She is sixty eight and she does yoga and swims everyday. We live in age where we can have quality lives and be fairly healthy in old age and that is what I derive from being healthy now.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Constance, I love that picture - thank you for sharing & bringing back memories for me of my Great Grandmother -- who, like your grandmother - still maintained her veggie garden, volunteered at the church soup kitchen and made quilts for mission work well into her 90's (she died at 98, in her home, in her sleep) -- that's the life I want as well!
