The end is in sight ...

I'm now 12 stone 3 lbs.  In a week I could be 12 stone or even less!

Four months ago I could not have envisioned this.  In August, when I had decided to try Lighterlife, I had battered and abused my body and mind  for 30 years by dieting and bingeing.  I had become mentally and physically incapable of having a healthy relationship with food.  I had lost the plot.

As I have previously mentioned (I think), I had first read about LL in their magazine which started Jan/Feb 2006.  It took me seven months to decide to try it.  I had no faith in myself achieving any success in that, or anything else for that matter.

Here I am today, feeling great, and for the first time in many years, hopeful that I now have a handle on my eating problems.  Being separated from the eating  culture allowed me to view it objectively.  I did not like what I saw. 

We eat too much.  Portion sizes are too big.  It is so unnecessary.  I realised too that I always felt obliged to finish everything on my plate.   My daughter always stops eating when she's had enough and one day recently I was on the point of telling her to finish everything on her plate, but I stopped myself.  "What are you trying to do to her", I thought to myself.  "She is RIGHT to stop when she's had enough.  You never did that".  That's when I realised I had been ignoring my body telling me it had had enough.  When I threw the leftovers away later, I felt anxiety at the waste.  "Get used to it." I told myself.  "This is the future". 

*****THINK LIKE A SLIM PERSON.*******

Gotta go now.  Make the tea for everyone else!
