Good morning Flabuless Forumers, on this first weigh in day of 2009.
Surprise, surprise (as Cilla would say), I've put on weight! It's no surprise at all of course, so what am I going to do about it? If a thin person puts on two or three pounds they will immediately think about taking it off again. As a fat person I used to wait until I'd put on two or three stones! Not any more.
The Flabuless Forumers group was started nine months (281 days) ago to encourage those of us who wanted to follow the method set out in the "I can make you thin" book and CD by PMK the well known hypnotist. I'm now a stone and a half lighter, but it would have been nearer two stone if I hadn't put on weight over Christmas and New Year, when I stopped following the rules.
Rule 1: Eat when you are hungry.
I broke this one many times over the past fortnight. I ate food because it was there, because it was Christmas, and because someone had made it or bought it for me.
Rule 2: Eat what you want.
Again, sometimes when I'd have been happy with a bowl of vegetable soup I ate some "goodies".
Rule 3: Eat consciously and enjoy every mouthful.
Was anyone else distracted over the Festive Season?
Rule 4: Stop when you think you are full.
Hands up all those who ate until they were stuffed. OK maybe that was just me.
It wasn't the system that stopped working, it was ME! But actually I quite enjoyed my Christmas, and it's not the end of the world so back on the wagon girls, and onward and downward (scales wise). Happy New Year, Sella.
