Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Fri, November 9, 2007 - 6:03 PMStep by step, walk your path in peace and with love for yourself...meet and embrace your expectations as a loving friend....no struggle, no stress, no judgement, no impatience, slowly and comfortably meeting your goals easily and with no pressure, think before each decision when it comes to feeding the body, ask yourself, is this good for my body, let it be a friend, not an enemy, do not be too restictive, everything in moderation works well, small and easy, lovingly bless all that you put in your body and ask it to nourish every part of your body...breath it in as if it is pure lovelight to make you strong and healthy....blessed be...and continue to always love yourself... -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Tue, November 13, 2007 - 6:50 AMone tiny baby step at a time...... i threw away my mayonnaise yesterday! it was ceremonial! and when i feel like binging, i have been taking LOTS of deep breaths, and calming down, and centering. it helps me feel in control and comforts me too. and then i eat a lifesaver!
i was reading "when food is love" by geneen roth, and it says that one of the reasons we eat too much is because we need to comfort the traumatized child in us. and now the adult in us can reach out and comfort the child. i think i am going to write my inner, very traumatized, child a letter.
much love to you, rhi! did you ever get that wrapped shell from otter? lol
and thanks again for your wise, nurturing words, dear lakota~ -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Tue, November 13, 2007 - 7:49 PMThat's the way to do it....one baby step at a time. Each little step leads us towards our goal!

Much love to you dear one! -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Wed, November 14, 2007 - 10:17 AMYeah, I have to start drinking more water. I have had two and a half cups of coffee this morning and that is it. I get so busy sometimes, I forget to drink. I need to go make some tea. I thiink I will get a big container so I can fill it each morning with filtered water and have it right in front of me. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Wed, November 14, 2007 - 10:46 AM2 and a 1/2 cups of coffee, is 1 and a 1/2 cups too many, coffee dehydrates you, better to drink loads of water, green tea is good too.
Flushing toxins out of your system is a big part of losing weight. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Wed, November 14, 2007 - 8:19 PMyes, i agree whit. coffee is supposedly a good appetite suppressant i think though. but yes, green tea is better. it is good to have things right in front of you too, whit, like i am going to put a picture of my fat body on my fridge i think.......lol
i had another successful day!!!!!!! woohoo!!!!!!!!! having to pee a lot is good. i have heard that if you are thirsty at all, you are dehydrated. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Fri, November 16, 2007 - 9:42 PM*sigh* i am really fat right now, but i still love myself the way i am, no matter how i am. i want to change being fat, i don't want to be fat anymore, and i want to love myself through this process. i am not criticizing myself by calling myself fat. make sense? or is everyone shaking their heads at me, lol........

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Sat, November 17, 2007 - 11:44 AMCutting back on the sugar intake helps enormously, have you tried Stevia? It's a natural plant extract from Sth America, loads sweeter than sugar, but minus the calories. I did a low carbohydrate diet a little while back, and shed 20kg. in 2 months, (that's around 40lbs) but lots of exercise helps heaps, I ride my bicycle everywhere. Tried eating lots of steamed vegetables? or raw?
A friend lost loads of weight, by eating only lots of Veggies and fruit, she shed around 120 lbs over a year or so. NO chocolate or sweets at all,
If you are determined, you can do it.. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Sat, November 17, 2007 - 7:24 PMThere is a move on by the makers of NutraSweet and Sweet N Low to have Stevia banned. There was a company that made ginger ale using stevia as a sweetner, they had to switch. There was a thread in the GMO group regarding this and another sweetner made from beets. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Sun, November 18, 2007 - 3:24 AMYep! that sounds about right, anything that's good for you is a NO-No! There's a great sharing on Zentertainment radio .com about aspartame, I highly recommend it. That stuff is Dangerous and is a main ingredient in Nutra Sweet, Sweet 'n Low and Coca -Cola, to name a few.
Effects include brain damage, birth defects all kinds of shit.... . . . . . . Greed Rules! We can buy Stevia here. Mother Natures Gift to us. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, November 19, 2007 - 7:30 PMsetting intentions for a healthy body is not an unhealthy quest, it is for sure a move out of self love and respect for oneself, which includes compassion - not hating on yourself, but choosing the optimum path for your wellbeing. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 8:54 AMno, bard, seriously, i have crossed a line, i am past the point of no return........ i can't just let myself eat too much anymore.........someday i will be able to feast in wonderful balance, someday......... not any time soon....... :) -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 11:07 AMMy friend lost 120lbs by eating only fruit and vegetables, she ate lots of that, no bread chocolate sugars or sweets of any kind, no potatoes either. She ate about 6 meals a day, but only fruit and veg. Think you could do that? It's a discipline, But maybe that's what you need? -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 1:16 PMI do understand, It is a matter of willpower...it is how I gave up cigarettes after smoking 80 per day for 25 years.......cold turkey and lots of will power!
I wish you well and will be there to help, if the need arises! -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 2:05 PMthanks for your support........ i need it right now......... will, i am trying to eat as much raw fruits and vegetables as possible........ i am working on control, having control over myself. i feel that that is what this is really about, for me anyway. yes, i need discipline!!!!! i am working on on it....... slow going......... i am drinking lots of tea too, that helps, and trying to keep my apartment clean (trying........) it helps me feel more in control, more stable, able to really relax............. love you all~
*sigh* doing my i love myself affirmations helps SO MUCH too.......... every day baby! it's a long hard road, but i'm going to get there! i am heading to the morning sun, yes i am! :) heck yeah. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 7:14 PMGo Doe go! I understand how difficult this dragon is to battle. I have been overweight all my life. I battle the bulge by the minute, it is ongoing for me. I freaked out today because I signed my son and myself up for a toddler/parent swim class that starts in 3 weeks. Yikes, me in a bathinsuit!!! I felt like puking just at the thought of it. Cottage cheese and rolls please stick to the shallow end, don't worry plenty of blubber I'll float just fine. YEE GADS!
self discipline is really hard for me. I quit smoking when I was pregnant but started back up about a year ago. I don't smoke at home, around my family and son, I don't smoke before massage clients, why can't I let them go. I know I need to drop a good 100lbs. to be in really great shape, I would be happy with 50lbs. I eat at night....badfoodies like ice cream and cookies.

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Mon, December 17, 2007 - 11:16 PMWay to Go! You can do it! Green tea is also a help. Soy milk rather than dairy, steamed Vegs, Sugar is probably the curse of our society, But you know that. I too gave up smoking after 35 years, my initial reaction was "Waaaah! I'll have nothing to live for.!" 10 years on and I'm still here,and I can breathe and live a stress free life. If you really want to do it, You can! Here for ya.
Will. -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Tue, December 18, 2007 - 12:05 PMyou are indeed an inspiration, will! and i have 100 lbs to lose too........ we must first love ourselves just as we are and have the courage to change. we need to find different ways to comfort ourselves...... i tell you, i have this humungous tea cup and i have been filling it with peach black tea everyday and it has been such a comfort to me. and stretching and doing yoga and pilates feels goooooooood, and walking everyday helps so much too. i am working on increasing my momentum.........
so, gaynelle, you and i (and dearest rhiannewen, you too) are so very beautiful and deserving of everything we want RIGHT NOW..........
and we can change too, because we want to. eh?
so much love to you all~ -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Tue, December 18, 2007 - 1:59 PMYou have made me cut back on eating too. Yesterday i had a banana for breakfast and one for lunch and Salad with fish fillets. I drank lots of tea. Over the last few days I have lost several pounds or kilos.....when you get to my age, it is just so easy to put weight on!
Thank you all for giving me the wake up call and I can't afford a lot of new clothes, even from the Op Shop!
No Time to wallow in the mire, we have to go for what we feel is right for us!
Shall we keep a tally of just how much weight you lose, but not how much you weigh! -
-
Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Tue, December 18, 2007 - 8:21 PMlol, good idea, bard, but i don't have a scale. and don't lose weight too fast, you don't want to stress your organs! -

Re: I AM READY TO STOP EATING TOO MUCH!
Tue, December 18, 2007 - 9:49 PMNot stressing what lives within, just not eating as much junk as I was! -
