"I Can Make You Thin", by Paul McKenna

I have written before about this weight loss self hypnosis program. It was something I did for a while and had a good measure of success. Then like many other good things in my life, I just let it drop. I think I began to feel like it wasn't helping any more so I just quit listening to the cd. What happened then? I gained back all the weight I had lost because I began eating everything in sight.

Well, in an effort to do 'what is good for me', I started listening to the cd again. Thus time I am not worrying about how well it works. I just know it is just a piece in my overall health puzzle, and any help is appreciated! I'm listening to it fairly regularly and I do think it is helping me to control my desire to overeat. Yea!

Food, Food, Food

It it a necessary part of everyday. Eating that is. For some people, food is just that. Necessary. They eat to live. They like good food, but do not dwell on it. They don't spend hours thinking about food, preparing food, and eating food. They do just what is necessary, and nothing more.

Then there are people like me. I live to eat. I have barely finished eating one meal, then I am mentally preparing my next one, not to mention all the snacks that will be consumed between meals.

It is no wonder that my weight will be a challenge all my life. Next post: things that I have found to be helpful.

How Distracting Are the Distractions?

Distractions happen. They just do. There is no way to prevent them. The key is "How distracting do you let the distractions be?

I was all in my Tae Bo routine. Yep, I had my schedule down. Then the distraction came in the form of 12 years old twin nieces coming to visit for a few days. They were fun and we had a great time, but not once did I do Tae Bo during their visit. Not once.

I was and still am self conscious about anyone watching me do Tae Bo. I didn't want them to see me do my 'old lady' version of kickboxing. I could have done it while they were sleeping in the morning, but I didn't. Distractions and excuses.

The good thing is that after they left, I got back into my routine the next day! Woohoo! Perhaps next time I will do Tae Bo during their visit.

If you are struggling with the distractions of life interfering with whatever is good for you, (It might be an exercise routine, or eating a healthy diet.) I encourage you to accept distractions as a fact of life. Then be determined to allow them to only be a temporary derailment in your quest to do "what is good for you.
