I have to admit, I saw some photos of me that absolutely made me cringe. Shiny, round faced, doubled chin cringe. And my first, instant thought that I had every time was I have to do something about this.
I will be honest and admit that 5 minutes ago I had diet thoughts/fantasies dancing about my mind. I could almost taste that new diet excitement - the thrill of finding the perfect diet ™. It was subconscious at first but then I could hear the thoughts in my mind, not just feel them. It took me maybe 10 seconds to realize what I had to do.
So here I am, posting this. And tonight I will start the first exercise of Roth’s Why Weight. I was going to read through the book first but, fuck it. I need some help.
So Merry Christmas to me. Kicking the Diet Thoughts in the gut and giving sanity another chance is the best gift I could give myself tonight.
It’s so easy to get drawn into the dieting mentality. I had a bit of an episode christmas day (http://findingserenitywithinme.blogspot.com/)
I’m going to try and use my yoga to get through some of the thoughts I have by meditating (http://theyogipath.blogspot.com/)
Have a look at the blogs if you have time. These are helping me to control my issues and hopefully will help to show others that they are not alone.
Good luck and I look fwd to hearing about your progress.
Sarah
