Guest guest Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I intend to be herewith you. By the way on kindle i've already set my intention right in the book itself as a note.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 If I were new, I'd be thrilled with tons of messages. As says, it's easy to check messages on the web or subscribe to digest format if the volume becomes overwhelming. Signing up and seeing no activity would make me think no one was working the program or members were all isolating. ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2011 2:52 PM Subject: Re: Anyone want to start a FULL-FILLED support group?  You can change your settings to receive a weekly digest or just check in at the group when it suits you, as I probably will given the volume.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 So, here I am, wanting to send all of you support and compassion as we journey through this book and our struggles. I guess we should begin with our intentions. My intention: to become a person of intent;a person who knows what drives ME, what keeps me inspired to jump out of bed knowing that my efforts of the day will bring me the life that helps me to be joyful. psawyer Amelia Ramstead wrote: >Oh thats a neat idea, using the kindle as a journal too!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi all. Intention setting sounds cool. Here is mine for this year: To increase my appreciation for the person I am, compassion understanding and appreciation for the person I was, and excitement about the person I see myself becoming. In other words, to keep learning to like myself. In the past I had little or no appreciation for Carlton, such that I am still uncomfortable with hearing my own name. In fact for most of my life I really hated and despised myself. This came out in addictive behaviours. Food is one of the last hold-outs in self abuse. I am slowly learning to nurture and care for myself as I come slowly to believe that I am worth caring about and worthy of my own love. This is not an easy process, but thanks for making a big difference for me over this last year as I have listened to all the podcasts, and re-listened to quite a few.  Carlton Larsen, Ba, Bgp Freelance Musician 426 Pinehouse Drive Saskatoon Sk S7K4X5 ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Sunday, January 1, 2012 11:24:35 AM Subject: Re: Re: Anyone want to start a FULL-FILLED support group?  Okay, here comes mine...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks. I find that at my current stage, I NEED to concentrate on towards motivations and try to not get caught up in the negatives. I latch onto the negative by nature, being a melancholy creative type. When I put my attention on the positive, on the " towards, " I actually start to make some progress. Negatives are a trap for me and I start to spiral into despair and I tend to give up and pig out to soothe the discomfort. I am trying to build more comfort with being in my skin. I am sure I gained a pound or two over the season but that is Ok. It was important to be present for family meals and to celebrate. I did not take big second portions. I had moderate desserts, and no seconds on those. I have done well and am keeping present with things.   Carlton Larsen, Ba, Bgp Freelance Musician 426 Pinehouse Drive Saskatoon Sk S7K4X5 ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Monday, January 2, 2012 9:49:39 AM Subject: Re: Re: Anyone want to start a FULL-FILLED support group?  Love this Carlton and it falls in line with both my forward motivation and intentions. Will post later about this but wanted to tell you that I loved your thoughts here!  Livingston ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Sunday, January 1, 2012 3:41 PM Subject: Re: Re: Anyone want to start a FULL-FILLED support group?  Hi all.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm in a similar space. I put on a pound or two beats the 30 pounds I put on christmas of 2002. I've learned a lot over the years and even though I could have controlled my intake better,i need to celebrate the improvements that I have made. Forward motivation is to have my blood work to come out healthy this year, to find a way to easily manage my food intolerances, to fit into and look good in shorts. You gave me a chuckle. I bet you are not the only melancholy, artistic type in this group! keep it positive, make short term goal that you can conquer to inspire yourself always forward.
