Yes, I’m still here.
I must confess I haven’t listened to my recordings much in the past month. I’m a part-time student and, since school started, I just haven’t been making the time to listen.
I am working on my attitude about my weight and all that is associated with that. Part of the reason that I struggle with dieting is that, mostly, I think I look fine. My bloodwork says I’m healthy. I’m strong. I run and lift weights. I’m just stuck carrying around quite a bit of extra weight. (Really, I am. And no, I don’t have a thyroid problem.)
I was hoping these recordings would help me shift my attitude about eating and, to a point, they have. When I focus on what I am doing, I am eating less and I am definitely snacking less, but apparently, I am still eating more than I need.
So, today, I’m back to the recordings and I’m also doing some journalling about where I want to be. I’m focusing on being that person who weighs 30-40 lbs less than I do today. For my health and well-being, it’s where I need to be.
