I no longer have been a regular here, yet I am still in my journey. My issues with my body weight remain the same, yet different. I am definitely loving myself more and can appreciate everyday the beautiful parts of me (both inside and out) that make me "me." Yet the weight is still hanging on.
I haven't been active on Marna's membership site for awhile now and no longer do the support group. I will still leave her information here on my blog, as I know it truly has served many people become healthier through becoming thinner.
I still continue with my law of attraction and EFT work, and have been busy with life in general. I've also been on a de-cluttering mission for a couple of years now, so de-cluttering has become a process of releasing and removing emotional blocks that get in my way of abundance. I know that "body clutter" is an issue for me, so the process of clearing clutter is having profound effects.
With all of that said, I decided to try Weight Watchers again. I was a bit hesitant at first as the last time I did the program, I felt I was obsessing about points and food in general, which didn't serve me too well. Their new program "feels" so much better for me right now. I can combine what I know about law of attraction, EFT and affirmations, for example, with conscious eating, group support and feel well.
I've decided to share some of my journey here.
I'm in my first week. I wasn't that surprised to see the number when I stepped on the scale, but I do admit that I felt "WOW" for a brief moment. That was a "I don't believe it" kind of "WOW," but it really was just an instant. I know that I am not defined by that number and that that number isn't "reality." It's old news already!
I am appreciative of the contrast of seeing that number to help me clarify how "wellness" looks and feels for me. I'm not embarrassed, I'm not beating myself up, I'm not feeling frustrated...these are all emotions that in the past, I would have felt. Instead, I'm looking forward to this journey, to connecting with others, and to feeling even better than I already feel!
So stay tuned for more.
Warmly,
Barbara
I am OA and Paleo. That seems to work fairly well. Set the carbs, protein, and adjust the fat, low enough to keep out of the cravings during losing abstinence cycles, and raise the fats, and fatter protein choices during maintaining abstinence cycles. Persevering is the key.
