Rainbow - that's a great stategy. one of their books also talked about "what if your body size was what was 'in'". That helps me as well since the fantasy relieves a lot from my shoulders & is a great teaching tool. Jae, not Pollyanish at all and so very, very true. Thanks! Still on my trip - we were supposed to go home today but the snow got the better of us. we now fly out tonight. Excuse any typos - posting on my Treo :) Thanks so much, ladies.

Your body has resisted disease. Your mind has resisted thoughts that might have proded you to engage in eating disordered behavior. These are not easy battles to win, that's for sure, but for another year you have! All of your cells are there to help protect you from the biting cold, to hug your loved ones, to enjoy warm, snuggly evenings under a blanket. None of you is missing :) You are entirely present. I hope you have a great vacation! Especially with the little demons in my head reminding me that I am the exact same size as I was during last year’s visit (egads!).

You might try that and see how you feel, how your life would be different if that were actually true. livingrainbowcolor The book Overcoming Overeating has a fantasy in which you imagine how your life would be if a gs suddenly entered the air which forever kept you at the same size, regardless of how much or little you ate.
