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...

Rainy day Friday

So it is Friday morning and of course you know I jumped on the scale first thing. I've had a pretty up and down week because I was so excited on Saturday when I lost the 800 grams that I then proceeded to eat and eat and eat. This is just one of those things though. I know that next week I will get back on track and before long I will be at goal and still I will have weeks like this. My weight is not going to magically stablilze. But don't I wish it would? I'm still mulling over this fat versus skinny feeling I have about myself. Yesterday I tried on a size 10 short jean skirt and cringed at the cellulite and fatty bits I could see on my legs. I know that if I had on black tights it wouldn't look that bad and even though the skirt was a steal at $10 because it was the last one she had in stock I still didn't buy it because the gremlins in my head were going working over time convincing me I looked like a fat cow in it. Usually I can put these voices at bay b...
