Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hello, all. Just getting started with IOWL and wanted to introduce myself. I'm 41 and live in Texas. I've struggled with weight issues for most of my life and am ready to make a permanent change. I have a fantastic husband and great friends and family. The only person I'm not happy with is myself. It's time to turn that around and hopefully this is going to be one of the tools that helps me to facilitate that change. Thank you and I look forwarding to discussing MANY issues as they come up along this journey. :-) Hopeful Journier, Ngobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Welcome! The journey is just that and no more or less. What I find is that it is really nice to have somebody with you when the road gets rocky or steep. Also, just like on any trip, the shortest distance between any two places is usually under construction.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 > > Hi, my name is Brittany. I have attempted to lose weight this pat decade more times than I can remember. I am looking for a solution to not only get the weight off, but keep it off. I have just listened to the first few podcasts and am ready to find lasting motivation! > Hi Brittany, welcome! I find the podcasts & the book FullFilled very helpful along with the journaling. I have struggled with an extra 20 pounds for 35 years, tried all kinds of diet and exercise, to only loose some and gain it all back and more. I have lost 6 pounds so far since I started 2 months ago and it was not hard...just a steady becoming aware of what I eat, how I feel, and working with my deeper feelings and thoughts when I overeat....actually I am surprised at myself! What helps me to be aware of what I eat is that I write down everything I eat for a day or two or longer if I need to self-correct myself. I find myself eating smaller portions. i now listen to my body about 50% of the time and learning to differientiate between hunger and thirst.....last night I chose to have a small peice of pumpkin pie (homemade with no crust) with whip cream . I had left room for this so I would not feel stuffed. There was no guilt or " should not " about it....amazing! I have a plan that seems to work for me: I have mostly weaned myself from any sugars....sugars are so addicted ... I stopped eating sugars and ate more proteins & fiber foods to stabilize my blood sugar. It took about 3 days for the sugar cravings to go away ...and I feel so much more alive and energetic...that was 2 months ago and now I have the occasional sugar craving only and do forgive myself for the little ginger chocolate binges occasionally.......I become aware and self correct and do not go on days on end of binges like in the past. I eat wholesome foods and they are very tasty. There is lots of diabetes in my immediate family...so am strongly motivated to be healthy & slim for the rest of my life and with s' method and learning new skills and changing by limited beleifs I know that I can do it for the rest of my life because it is not restricting and deprivation!!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thank for sharing , it's reassuring to know that someone else has struggled for a while with that amount weight to lose. Keep the great work and congrats on the 6 pound weight loss. Jasmine > > > > Hi, my name is Brittany. I have attempted to lose weight this pat decade more times than I can remember.
