Wow. Discovered a new guy, Paul McKenna. He hosts "I can make you thin." He has some ideas that I will try. I am looking fwd to trying some of them. What I cannot understand about myself is why do I eat...I eat because I like to, I want to. I don't feel like I am an emotional eater so I do have some soul searching. I just enjoy it. I want to eat. Like right now, I am not hungry, don't want food but maybe I should go buy a candy bar or get DQ. Just because I can??? I don't know about myself. So I will continue to watch his show, get his book and maybe this is someting I can do. Routines to do like tapping specific spots or squeezing my thumb and middle finger together...do the latter while thinking of eating something repulsive...then imagine you are eating that, squeezing fingers when craving comes. This may be hard for me as I want to eat, I enjoy eating so I really do not want to have the negative associations. But I must. Soon. So use repulsion to knock out compulsion.
But I did it , I joined a gym. I joined Planet Fitness today. It seems like it will be good. $15. a month, no commitment. I can quit whenever without a fee. I joined today but don't start until Thurs. at noon. To learn how to use the cardio equip. And they gave me a free t-shirt so I have something to wear. Yahoo!
