Good on you! Sounds like you’re well on the way to having a positive attitude, which will surely lead to results without fancy plans, points and forking out $$. I’m personally still keen on the potatoes not prozac type thing. I have a very unhealthy attitude to sugar, so it’s something I need to address, but I liked the way the book was leading you to have the sort of attitude you do, and to eat properly, no points, no low-carb, no crazy stuff. Just need to get back to it once the crazy month of October is over.

I’m really struggling with the same weight things you are. I just love food! I love to cook, I love to try new things an a good meal is one of the best things in the world. I love healthy food too and I love to work out, I just am having some knee problems. I gained weight in college and am having a hard time getting rid of it.

I love that you have such an open and honest dialog about weight. It is nice to know someone else is out there struggling with image and weight and love of food.

Sometimes, seeing the words—our truths, really—written plainly and unapologetically and without judgment is just the thing we need.

For me, every day marks a conscious effort to eat well, be active, and encourage positive self-thinking. But, it’s *effort*. None of it is easy or free or without sacrifice.

It sounds like you’ve rounded a corner, and I am so happy for you, my dear.

And the next time you catch your eyes in that mirror at yoga, please, please, look closely and gently, and honor the hard, good work you’re doing, forgive, love, let go. It is why we are there in the first place. And e-mail me afterward to discuss.

The line between being mindful and being obsessive is so damn thin. I wish I could find it and hold on to it. Thanks, as always, for being open about this.

I’ve been on my own case lately about my eating/gym habits as well. To the point where I was about to start logging every calorie I consumed and burned again. I feel like such a potato. I know the problem isn’t so much what I’m eating or how much – it really stems from the fact that I am very inactive these days. With work being so busy, I just don’t get around to moving about, and that’s bad! I have a really unhealthy relationship with the gym…

That’s such amazing insight. I was so sad at the beginning of this post, thinking about what you were putting yourself through. But it sounds like you’re on the right track now, so keep it up!

You sound so much like me, except I do love exercise.

Start with the affirmations and stop with the negative shit.

It has worked for me.
