I'm No Longer Hooked

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.
