So here's a little secret... I'm fat.
Yep, been fat for about my whole life. LOL! Some how I found Pilot, who loves me just the way I am and that has been a wonderful marvelous blessing.
If there is a diet out there I've tried it! I've often wondered why it's so hard for me? Why is it that so many people find weight manageable but I am stuck in this body that I just can't change or manage? I mean, I can change it if I hard core quit eating... (working out doesn't seem to do the trick, less food works best for me) But then once I lose the weight it normally just comes back on in just a few months. I've often thought there has to be a different way. Maybe the way I think? The way I eat? (besides to much) : )
And then a friend of mine lent me this book called I can make you thin by Paul Mckenna. It's the first diet book that I've read that talks about the mental aspect of being overweight versus the here's the next best diet to try book. It talks about how overweight people tend to not know when they are full, and that they are to busy trying to eat things that are "healthy" that they are ignoring the signals from their bodies. So here are four golden rules from that book:
1. Eat when you're hungry.
2. Eat what you actually want.
3. Eat consciously and enjoy each mouthful.
4. Stop when you think you're full.
I know, I know simple huh. But I guess you can tell you are overweight when you read those four golden rules and think "wow, really?" (if you are thin you probably think that all the time)
Of course this book has a whole bunch of great ideas... I'm just enjoying reading about the mental approach to losing weight.... It's about time I look at that aspect of it. Anyways... we'll see what tomorrow brings... just another thought from a confused know it all.
