Think Slim

Earlier this year one of the Slimming Magazines came with a cd promoting the Think Slim program. I listened to it last night. At the end of the promotional garbage is a 24 minute hypnotherapy section. I don't know how successful the program is, but I thought of ordering it ... until I saw the price. No way!

I don't know if I was actually hypnotised either. I found myself not easily put under. Everything distracted me, but after it was over I did easily fall asleep.

One of the main things he promotes is drinking green tea in between every meal. So I did buy some chai green tea yesterday. I actually abhor the taste of green tea but for some reason when blended with chai it is tolerable. I wonder if you still get the same benefits of the flavinoids this way?

There is one thing I still don't want to do and that is weigh myself. I have no idea how much I have gained from my lowest weight, but I don't want to know either. Maybe after one week of eating right I have more courage to face the scale.

Hi there - I like the new look of your blog. A suggestion - why don't you weigh yourself? It really IS only a number - not the measure of you as a whole person. You may have a pleasant surprise, and if not, then you know where you are, and will be able to take action - forward. I really wish you all the best, you are a very eloquent writer.

Hey girl,
I'm so glad you are back. I've been a lurker for a long time (2 years now?) and have been checking back from time to time to see if you were around...so glad you are :)
I've been in that dark place too. Had that (those) bad year(s). It CAN get better :)

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...
