Welcome, !

So glad you'll be joining us! Your intentions are right on target--things to

move us toward the life we want to live. Are you aware of 's podcasts? The

book and first podcasts are very similar, and I like using them to reinforce

what I read. Also, the guided meditations are lots easier to do by listening.

Keep us posted on your journey!

Marcia

Good Morning everyone! I'm a newbie to the group and am just beginning the

Full-Filled book. I have about 100 pounds to " release " and have struggled off

and on with food for about 40 years. I just turned 59 and have been on almost

every diet that is out there. I became a lifetime member of Weight Watchers

back in the early 70's when I only had 15 pounds to release. I was able to do

that and maintain it long enough to become a lifetime member. Needless to say I

have gained all of that back. In the early 90's I once again released weight

using Weight Watchers to the tune of 80 pounds and once again gained it all

back.

In November of 2010 I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes that I have been able

to control with diet and exercise and no drugs. I ended 2011 being 20 pounds

lighter than I began so I have made some progress. However, I feel as if I am

struggling and the book Full-Filled caught my attention at the book store this

weekend. I just don't want to " struggle " with the food anymore. I feel I do

" hand to hand " combat with it all the time. I'm either perfect or " bad " . I

don't want to beat myself up anymore. So here I am and I're ready to learn and

make changes.

I have attempted to get other people interested in doing this with me; but have

struck out so far. That is why I am here. I know I need support. I'll keep

asking and hopefully will come up with someone face to face to work the book

with me. My question though concerns week 1. I'm supposed to set an intention

to create motivation for lasting change. I'm still unsure of how to do that or

if what I'm doing is correct. Here is what I've come up with so far. How does

that look? I'm very interested in what some others used in the beginning for

their intention.

1. My intention is to be free from the bondage of food.

2. My intention is to have an A1C below 6.5.

3. My intention is to feel totally energized and nourished by the food I eat.

A little bit more about me. I've been married for the past 38 years. My

husband has been in AA since 1993 and I've been in Al-Anon the same amount of

time. I started having panic attacks in 1991 and they became so bad that I

finally seeked therapy for an abusive childhood and the panic attacks in 2004.

I struggle with travel phobia that further than 50 miles or so from home. I

sometimes have anxiety that can be almost debilitating but I move through it

anyway. I don't take medication for that and love it when I realize I haven't

had any anxiety that day at all.

Thanks in advance for any help! I hope you all have a great day and week. :-)

Your intentions are good. you've got something that is long term (1), something

that its short term (3), and something that is measurable (2).

The podcasts are free and they are available at http://personallifemedia.com/

Look for the blue butterflyÂ " Inside Out Weight Loss " icon. There are tons of

them! I'm using the ones on exercise motivation right now to get me moving

again.
