Today I have a book review and update on my ongoing battle of the bulge. They are related! It has been a little more than 2 years since I lost 35 pounds. I have been logging my food, water, and fitness on a free website, “Sparkpeople.com.” It provided a great way to keep myself on track. It gave me great feedback on my daily, weekly, and even yearly progress. It connected me to an online community of like-minded people to offer encouragement and information. I thought I would log on everyday forever and, with minor ups and downs, stay successful at maintenance.
Well, around November I started losing the momentum of logging on daily. I began to wonder if I really needed to keep myself so tightly controlled. Hadn’t I learned to eat properly by now? I did keep logging on, but I didn’t like the time it took each and every day. The holidays hit and some extra weight came on – ok, 10 pounds to be exact! I had learned to weather this kind of holiday or travel fluctuation before. But January came and those pounds didn’t want to budge.
One day I found myself in the bookstore and I thought I’d just check the diet book section to see if anything looked like it could offer something different. The title, “I Can Make You Thin” by Paul McKenna sure jumped out at me. A quick look-through seemed promising so I bought it. This book and accompanying hypnosis CD has proven to be just what I needed! Mr. McKenna explains 4 simple eating principles to live by gleaned from studying naturally thin people. The hypnosis CD gets the principles into the subconscious in a relaxing way that seems to correct the unnatural relationship to food that we overeaters have adopted. I have been practicing this method for over 3 weeks now and I must say it has truly been the easiest pounds I have ever lost. My clothes are back to fitting well. At the 2 week mark I had lost 4 pounds and I’m sure it’s more by now. (One of the behaviors of naturally thin people is they rarely weigh themselves, so now I only weigh in, at the most, every 2 weeks.) Maybe I have turned a corner in this battle. Time will tell. If you try this method please let me know how it is working for you!
