A Little of This; A Little of That

Fat to Fit, 7/12/09

I am STILL excited about my program ~ even moreso BECAUSE, usually, when I get on the scale in the evening, it's gone back up. Last night, it was as low as it was in the morning. THIS morning, it's the lowest it's been in YEARS!

A few things I've become aware of over the past few days since doing this program for myself ~ when I eat:

When I'm hungry (seems about right)
When I'm lonely (what's funny about this is, I lived much of my life alone yet, now that I'm married, when he's gone, I miss him.)
When I'm alone watching a vid (not good!)
Because it's there (not good!)
When we go to a buffet and 1) I feel I need to get our money's worth and 2) if it's on the plate I NEED to eat it (not good!)

The latter is a really good reason to not go to buffets. When we go someplace for a sit-down, I can always eat half and take the rest for later. Can't do that at a buffet. You've got to eat it there!

So, since I now understand my reasons for eating too much and at the "wrong" times (i.e., when I'm not hungry), I've got choices about what to do including, tapping on the issues and finding out the underlying issues.

It's like here, when people ask questions sometimes I feel (and have) to ask ~ What's the question under the question? So, when doing the work of tapping into your ideal weight, sometimes, you've got to go down below the current issue to find the causative. How fun is that??? GREAT fun! It's an adventure! An exploration!!! I am SO excited!

O.k., going off-topic here for a minute. What is UP with people on this forum? Once they get here do they forget how to Google or do a search? What is this? What is that? C'mon folks! GOOOOOGLE!

O.k., I feel better now. Going to do some more tapping. Giving a talk and demo at the Agape Church this afternoon. I want it to be goooood!

Injoy,

Revvell

    Girl, even I rarely weigh myself twice a day. Then I step back & wonder why I'm obsessing over it. I could see it though if you're doing it as part of the learning process for what it is you're doing. Speaking of which, I have a question to run by you about all of this when you get a chance. ;)

    Curiosity. Gives me something to talk about and, it's not obsessing. I've never weighed myself before except when I was training as a body builder and that was just in the gym. NEVER at home.

    I've even weighed myself before and after elimination just out of curiosity.

    Gimme a call either tomorrow. Other than getting food, I'll be home methinks.
