HealthyBabs's Journal, 30 July 2011

I think I need to take a break from here for awhile. If you are taking the time to read my journal lately you know I have made a committment to participate in a pilot program for my employer called Naturally Slim. It is a ten week program that I have committed to and this is just my first week. I am learning as I am going along but I do know that what I have learned this week really makes sense to me and applying the techniques has enabled me to not be hungry, eat whatever foods I want, there are no supplements or special foods, and best of all I am losing weight. I am relearning how to reset my appestat which is what tells my brain when I am hungry and when I am full.

I don't know if I believe in this yet, but I do know that I have had a struggle with my weight for more. A ten week committment is nothing but then again....it could be everything. We all know different things work for different people and I am if nothing else, continuing to educate myself thru this weight loss process.

Now don't get me wrong, I really had intended to participate in the program and continue to journal here about it, but I find that I am too conflicted doing both. I really need to concentrate on my new web buddies in the program specific site who are all on the same path as me and encouraging each other rather than criticising your WOE. I have read everyone's comments in my journals and I do take them to heart but for those who have felt the need to PM me and lambaste me is really something I don't have the precious time for right now.

I think I will continue to post my weight here weekly so that I can keep it on record here for when I come back after the pilot is over with. YES...I do plan to come back, please just give me the 10 weeks. You guys have been sensational and without you all I would not have lost my first 25 lbs. My one year anniversary here is in August and I can assure you that without your encouragement through all of my personal ups and downs this year as well as my physical and mental rejuvination I would never have lasted this long.

Peace out my friends until we "meet" again!
God Bless!!
