I can't remember whether or not I told you that I had had a very strong addiction to peanut butter and couldn't go a day without it - and when I began changing my self-image, visualizing and focusing on my new self - and most importantly listening to my body, I got rid of my addiction to peanut butter and haven't had any since. I did try a few tastes and found that it tasted rancid and didn't want any - the real truth is that I was afraid to try it again because I thought I might want to eat it everyday again and again. Tonight I had my first peanut butter sandwich since the last time I really ate any - which was over a two years ago. I ate it, I enjoyed it, and I didn't want any more. Whoopie! I know, if I really wanted to I could get back to where I really liked peanut butter so much that I would want it more often, but I will not do that, simply because I am more disciplined now, but more importantly, I do not have the compulsion to go and have more and more and more, like I did before.I am so relieved. Now, I can enjoy a peanut butter sandwich once in a while without worrying. I am so thankful for that.
This journey that I have taken from being quite overweight to now being at my acceptable weight and having no problem staying at that weight has made me even more determined to tell everyone I can about how my program works. I have stayed at my weight for around two years, which is 18 months longer than I did at anytime before. I am so thankful and so happy. Be happy with me, and if you are interested in having the same experience, I will have my on-line course available sometime in April.I will keep you posted.
I am going to the gym tomorrow very early, because I have a networking meeting to attend around 8:30 which is about 30 minutes away from my home. As soon as I am through with my exercises, I will have the final figures for the month and I will also bring up the total pounds I have lifted since I began my exercise program. You know, it is quite motivating whenI can find out just how much I lifted each day - I know is is incremental and not all at one time, but it is still that many pounds. I am excited to see just how many pounds I have lifted over the last month. The most wonderful part is that I can see where the exercise is helping each time I see myself in the bathroom mirror before I get in the shower. I can see the difference and it is great. Like I said before, I am not an exercise proponent - but it does have its place.
I will get back to you with the results tomorrow. Until then,
Think Thin Thoughts.

IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER AND SOON WILL COME TO YOU
Hi, everyone. I know! I know! It's been a while since I've signed in - I've been busy! I really have been busy. I have my weight maintenance program on its way to you. I named it "TAKE WEIGHT OFF YOUR MIND". My website is now up - http:// www.takeweightoffyourmind.com and my new e-mail is up and running - NRE@takeweightoffyourmind - I just signed up for a voice mail on my e-mail - 281-668-7414, and I am 4/7 of the way done on my trail e-course. The e-course will be completed by the end of February and when my volunteers finish with their critiques I will be ready to put it out there for all of you who are interested.
I am still making it to the gym at least four days a week - I had so many late night meetings, that I wasn't getting enough rest so I moved my time back an hour. I am now getting there at 6:00 a.m. instead of 5:00 a.m., unless I have an early meeting,then I move it back to around 9:00 or 10:00, but still make it. Yesterday I checked out my day's activities and was tickled with myself - I had lifted 5,960 lbs. WOW! I felt good. The best part is that this exercise is firming up my body and I am looking gooooooooood!
As I said before, I'm not a proponent for heavy exercise - but this is o.k. Many of the times when I was on a weight reducing program, I didn't exercise and still managed to get the weight off, so I figured exercise was not all that important - but I feel so much better - that is important. Therefore, I am including moderate exercise into my "Take Weight Off Your Mind" program. You know, if you only walk for 15 minutes a day, your body will respond in all sorts of ways - your stamina will be greater, your heart will be stronger, your disposition will be better and your self-image will grow because you are doing something good for yourself. You can find a good "go-by" chart at http://www.healthline.com/hlbook/art-what-does-a-walking-program-look-like.
I'm now going to see what other really neat programs I can find that will help me get my message out there - this technology is mind boggling - and I have so much to learn, but it sure is fun! Until next time,

Are You Ready For Some Football?
Good Morning all,(THIS WAS WRITTEN THE DAY OF THE SUPER BOWL, BUT I FORGOT TO PUBLISH IT SO I AM PUBLISHING IT NOW)
Super Bowl!! Yep, today is the last chance we get this season to see some football - well, I guess there is still the Pro-Bowl, but the Super Bowl is the one we most anticipate. I am sort of a football fan, but both of my daughters, my two granddaughters and my sons-in-law are avid fans, so I find myself watching the games just so I can be part of the family. We have season tickets to see the Houston Texans play and we don't miss a game. I don't have a favorite team in the Bowl - I would kind of like to see Eli Manning put a feather in his cap, but I would also like the Patriots pull off an undefeated season, so I guess I'll just watch and root for both teams.
Today will also be a day to made a decision to "pig out" on all the good food, especially the dips, chips, nuts, crackers and cheese, all all those other really good snack foods, and beer and whatever else there is, and that is probably what I am going to do, only in some sort of moderation. I find that since I have started really listening to my body and not eating after it tells me that I have had enough, I can stop eating and not be tempted to eat any more. Now, I was not always that way. No sireee, I could put it away with the best of them, and maybe even better. My boast would be how much I could eat and drink and still move - and my body showed it.
Super Bowl games were not the only events where I would eat myself silly - almost every meal was that way. I would get up from the table and then a few minutes later be right back there again, snacking and eating what was left. Thank goodness I learned that if I really listened to my body, it would tell me when I had had enough and then I would quit eating, go off away from the food for a while and then when I came back to the table I found that I really didn't want any more to eat and I was fine until the next meal.
This control did not come upon me all at once. I had to work on it, but it was worth the effort. I don't have that stuffed feeling anymore. That was the strangest part of not eating after I had had enough. I felt funny - sort of empty inside, until I finally figured out that it was that stuffed or overstuffed feeling that I was missing. I made up my mind that I was not going to abuse my body any longer with this juvenile behavior - eating until I popped. One of the books that I read, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles spoke of how to eat properly by chewing your food, each bite slowly and enjoying the texture, the taste and the pleasant sensation that you experience while eating, and listen to you body and quit eating when it told you to. I decided to give it a try and after a few days of wrestling with my appetite and habit of stuffing myself, I found that eating was indeed a pleasure. From that point on I have truly enjoyed my food, my new found discipline and my new, slimmer, trimmer body.
Anyone want to give it a try? Wallace Wattles book "The Science of Being Well"- it is on the internet as a free download. You can get it at this address:
Wallace also wrote The Science of Getting Rich, which was the basis used to make the film "The Secret".
So, hope your teams wins and remember you too can become a winner if you choose to.

So Much To Do, So Little Time
Hi, everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I last visited my blog. I have been busy getting everything in place to begin my e-course on maintaining wieght loss. I didn't realize that I would have to do so much, I thought I would just start writing it and putting it on e-mail and that would be that. NOT! Boy, I had to get a program that would allow me to record and have a downloadable audio for my clients, a program that would track my list of contacts, a program that would sort out the money and get it back to me, a website that would let me put other information regarding weight, weight reduction, health, exercise, nutrition, spiritual uplifting affirmations, etc., WOW! Thankfully, it is almost ready to go and now I can find the time to write a little on my blog and work on my e-book.
I have also been busy working up presentations on my program to give to health care networking groups, and others that are interested in hearing about it. It is taking off just like I thought it would, only not as quickly. I intended to have this up and going this time last year. Oh, well - the best laid plans of mice and men......
Still going to the gym. Last week I racked up a total of 24,280 pounds lifted - you know, in one instance that is motivating and amazing and makes me feel good about myself - but after I see just how much I did for that week - I think I should be tired -but I'm not, really, but it sure seems like one would be. I never realized that I could lift almost 5,000 pounds a day. Am I getting buff or what? Soon.
It's a good thing I get up and get the exercise done early in the morning. We have been having some absolutely beautiful weather here in Houston - in February, which is usually our winter month - it has been in the 70's during the day and not much below 45 at night - I really like weather like this, and like to be out and about.
Guess I'd better get back to practicing the presenation I'm going to make tomorrow morning on how to change your self-image.
