Hi, .

Welcome to the group!

April

Thank you so much for posting this link. I had not read it before and it so resonated with me. I'm going to use this as an introduction to the group. I joined a few weeks ago and have been lurking to get a feel for the group. I am honored to be among such a warm, sharing, caring and welcoming group of people. I am 54 (will be 55 tomorrow, so I'm hanging on to 54 for as long as I can) and live in NJ with a wonderful husband, a Shih Tzu and 2 parrots. I've been dieting most of my life (first official diet was Weight Watchers when I was 14) but I've always had a weight problem. I spent most of my life on and off diets until 2 years ago when I decided (or I should say realized) that diets don't work for me. I buried all of my Weight Watchers stuff and decided to learn how to eat intuitively. I've gained quite a bit of weight since then but I've realized that I still have not totally given up the diet mentality. I am sure, and know within my soul, that eventually I will learn to live with myself eating intuitively, and if the pounds are meant to come off, they will.I'm working on that. I've read Geneen Roth's books, listened to Marc 's programs, read May's and Bacon's books. I look forward to getting to know all of you and sharing our struggles and successes together.>> I know this is a pretty old blog post from Margaret Cho... but I just remembered it and went back to read it, and it really fired me up! "I never deny myself a f***ing thing because I have denied myself enough for 1000 lifetimes" <--- YES!!! THIS!!!> > So anyway I thought I'd post the link just in case any of you haven't read it or at least haven't read it for a while > > (I guess it almost goes without saying that the F-word makes a pretty big appearance in this blog, so be forewarned if you're not a fan of cursing!)> > > > http://www.margaretcho.com/content/2003/11/06/the-fuck-it-diet/>------------------------------------
