mid way week one - my Away From motivations

[Guest guest]

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the support, kind welcoming

words. Your messages have been insightful and eye opening for me.

As I hit the mid way point of week one I wanted to post my Away From

motivations. Any input, suggestions or comments are welcome and appreciated.

I want to move away from sneaking food at work

I want to move away from over eating until I am stuffed and o not feel good

I want to move away from food being on my mind constantly

I want to move away from thinking about the next meal beofre the present meal is

over.

I want to move away from the control that food has OVER my mind and thoughts

I want to move away from feeling so different from everyone else

I want to move away from ugly unflattering clothes

I want to move away from only being able to wear 1/4 of the clothes in my

closet

I want to move away from have so little to choose from to wear to work

I want to move away from having students have to pull thier seats up when I walk

through/around a classroom

I want to move away from worrying aobut what I can fit into and not fit into

I want to move away from defeating and mean self talk

I want to move away from looking and feeling old and tired

I think going through this process is a kinder, gentler way to deal with weight

loss than anything I have done in the past. I have done pretty well in my

eating but I am not focusing on that in the typical

hard-core-diet-don't-eat-that mentality. This is, just as the program says, from

the inside out. Maybe we've been going about this backwards all along - tackling

these issues, though not a pretty picture, feels good.
