Diets Suck. I Don't.

I found a site that is transforming my thoughts about ME. Last night I read on there for an hour. Today, another 2 hours. I cannot get enough of this site!

EffinDiets

Three truths I am using already today:

*My mantra today has been, "I will not eat when I am hungry. Who would eat when they're hungry? That's ridiculous!" That thought alone is making me laugh. Think about it.

Really think about it! What dumb lies we have fed ourselves! ;)

*Using my "but". I ate all that BUT I didn't eat it all. I ate a cookie at noon BUT I was satisfied after that.

Compare that to my previous way of thinking:

"I ate all that! I hate myself! Why can't I stop?"

See the difference??? HUGE.

*No matter what, I always stop eating. Again, something we choose to overlook. I always stop. I am today writing down all the times I stop. The times I walk by. They are many. I'm choosing to focus not on the times I overeat, but the times I don't. Because the truth is, we stop and we walk by hundreds of times every. single. day. It's time to stand up and recognize that.

We are born to eat this way. We ALL have it in us. We just need to find our way back to it.

Hiya :)
I love Karen's stuff too. So much so I'm joining her for 8 weeks of diet crushing. And I wondered if you'd play too and be in the same home team as me? The only problem is that today is the last day to join because it all kicks off tomorrow.

I've spent all afternoon reading your story, starting right at the beginning last month. I wish I'd found you sooner so it wouldn't be such a rush but I so resonate with your story, especially the stuff about hiding food (and the evidence. Lol)

Is there any chance you can join us?
