Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Dianna, Great work! It is especially hard to change our habits when we are already feeling badly about ourselves, which it sounds like you were after you went shopping. That you neither comfort ate NOR punished yourself by not eating when hungry are BOTH great accomplishments! And I think the first time you break a habit is the hardest. So hopefully next time it will be easier... and soon will become habit. Way to go! Abby I decided to go shopping today went to the mall and my favorite store. Of course I get depressed, don't buy a thing and my mind starts to fantasize about eating at all the restaurants that are around the mall. You name it they have it there .. the same song I will just go eat this last time at this place and start a diet tomorrow. is But today I said no, this is a pattern and its time to break it. On the way home, an hours drive, I continue to fantasize about what I will eat because I am hungry..truly hungry. I decide I will go to Japanese and order a salad and soup and nothing else. I then asked myself if I could truly go in there an only order those two items, and the answer was no. So I decided not to beat myself up, I was hungry so I ordered at Taco Bell one quesadea and a small diet soda. My old pattern would be to order at least 2 items. Not my best choice on foods but I was hungry, it satisfied me and I don't feel at all guilty. This is progress. No more diet books... I am going to start the 6 week online food addiction seminar by geneen roth of women food and god... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Good for you, Dianna! That's real progress. I mean it. So, it sounds like the one quesadilla actually was enough for you? This Geneen seminar you are going to- Is it cost free? Can anyone do it? Best, Jen > > I decided to go shopping today went to the mall and my favorite store.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Jen, You should check out her website. As best I can tell, she does one weeklong workshop per year (the one described in WFG) and a couple of two day workshops. This year, at least, the week long one was at a place called Mount Madonna center in Northern California. It's mostly a yoga retreat and has fairly inexpensive lodgings (you can even bring your own tent and camp for really cheap!). I considered trying to go as it's driving distance for me, but it was already sold out. I did, however, find a weekend workshop in Seattle later this year. The cost of the workshop itself was pretty cheap. About $190, which isn't bad for two days. Of course, you do have to get there and stay, which, adds to the cost. But with online deals, I was able to get pretty cheap airfare. If you could get someone to go with you to share the hotel costs (or turn it into a vacation), it could probably be done pretty cost effectively. Doesn't look like she does all that many in person events per year, so it's probably worth checking her site fairly regularly to get in on them early, if you're interested. And you never know when she'll do one that's relatively close to you, that you'd be able to drive to. (or maybe even in your home town!)

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi Josie, We may be " neighbors " as I also live within driving distance of Mt. Madonna. I enjoy your posts. Those darn " shoulds " just creep in everywhere. As I have been reading here I said to myself that I should post more, like Josie! Lord help us. I am returning to work (teaching) very soon and am worried I won't be able to stay connected here. It is a comforting place for me so will do my best. > > > > > This Geneen seminar you are going to- Is it cost free?
