Chewing the Fat

Just because there hasn't been one posted today. You're not chewing on the snacks in front of the TV, are you?

So I've been pretty happy with weight loss/healthy eating. Over Advent & Christmas I did the EFT Peace procedure, which is listing your 50 most painful memories and applying the Emotional Freedom Technique to them. I finished this week! Okay, you're supposed to do 3 each day, but I finished, however late. And I've been using EFT on my food/weight/eating/exercise issues. I've known about it for years, but it's pushed its way back into my life. (A little bit of inperson instruction helpyed too.)

And I watch myself making better food choices, exercising every day, and even seeing some results on the scale. I've also gone back to OA--and EFT helped me get over the pain that caused me to leave.

You'd think I was selling this stuff.

I'm also working Julia Cameron's The Writing Diet
. Even though I rolled my eyes a lot and said, "I know that," still, whaddaya know, DOING it actually helps.

For one thing , keeping my little food journal helped me become aware that no matter what or how little I eat, my belly swells up to 9-months pregnancy afterwards. I'll consult a doctor before trying a colon cleanse. Ick. Any other ideas?

I hope you're all doing well, that Sr. Quarterstaff's foot is healing and that she can enjoy her Pilates, and that everyone is pleased with their progress into a healthier life.
