Guest guest Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hello, I started listening to the Podcast about 2 weeks ago and grabbed the book about a week ago. I haven't stopped overeating yet...but I have started to adjust the way I've been thinking about it. I have been stopping to think about why I want to eat before just grabbing a snack. Thinking if I'm really hungry or not. Sometimes that's successful and sometimes not. I'm just into Week 3 of the Full-Filled book. So now I'm working on not beating myself up about overeating. I've lost about 3lbs over the last two weeks though, and that's with still overeating, so I guess I have cut down on my overeating!! A big part of the problem for me is the 'Party in my mouth' that mentions in one Podcast. I LOVE the taste of food. However, I'm starting to think that what I need is to have fun. Food is my fun. I have a million things on my should-do list and none of them are particularily fun. So first off, it allows me to procrastinate doing all the boring chores I've set for myself..and second of all, it is my bit of fun for the day. So as I mentioned, I'm only two weeks into the program so there's still a lot more to go through. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of myself so that I can do this right. Looking forward to reading through all the posts on here and sharing this journey with everyone else! Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Teri, that sounds like an amazing revelation. So what are you going to do to add more fun? (Isn't it great, when your weight loss program starts with " Add more fun " ??) LOL! Would it also help to look at your " Should do " list? I find that when I'm hearing " should " from myself a little too often, I need to step back and think about what I *want*. Like... I should clean the windows. OK... let me think about that a moment. Why " should " I? Because I have an amazing view. When the windows are clean, it renews me just to look out. When the windows are dirty, it prevents me from getting that feeling of renewal. Ah. So suddenly I don't feel like I *should* clean the windows. I don't exactly feel like I want to clean them, either (though suddenly I'm remembering how pleasantly surprised I always feel when I realize it doesn't take as long as my imagination thinks it does). But I feel like I want them clean. Because it will make me happy, not because I should. And snap! The job's a game.... Without the spoonful of sugar. (Who really is going to drag out the ladder--doing dishes is so much easier when the window above the kitchen sink is clean!!) >________________________________ > >To: insideoutweightloss >Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 1:25 AM >Subject: New to the Program > > >Â >Hello, > >I started listening to the Podcast about 2 weeks ago and grabbed the book about a week ago. > >I haven't stopped overeating yet...but I have started to adjust the way I've been thinking about it. > >I have been stopping to think about why I want to eat before just grabbing a snack.
