Yet another start!

More tomorrow??? More like, almost two months later... Never mind. :)

Anyway ... it's quite obvious that I'm a terrible procrastinator! (Or am I just labelling myself? What would David Burns say? :p )

Basically, the principles behind Paul McKenna's 'I can make you thin' (I do dislike that title!) really make sense to me and I'm sure they work, but I just find it so difficult to stick to them! Why! It really shouldn't be so hard. I am so determined to give it a go, but when it comes to eating, I just seem to forget. Eating slowly and deliberately and enjoying every bite would really make such a differences - and doesn't seem so hard! - but I just forget! Occasionally I remember, but most of the time I only think of it afterwards.

Today I didn't do too badly. Well, not in the morning anyway. I was quite hungry and ate when I was hungry - and to start with even did so very consciously. It all went to pot when I bought some chocolate (large bar of Galaxy - with the full intention to only eat a little of it), and then ate it all in the car! Ugh. To start with I ate every piece very deliberately and really enjoyed it (and didn't feel guilty about it!), but then I just sort of kept eating and before I knew it the whole bar was gone ... And I felt a bit sick afterwards... :(

I obviously need to take breaks, especially when eating something like chocolate. I was determined to stop as soon as I realised I had eaten enough / was quite full, but I didn't realise till afterwards that I had eaten too much. Need to slow down!!!

And for the rest of the day I completely forgot about eating slowly etc. And I've just had some jaffa cakes - eaten a few too many, but at least I've stopped before the pack was empty. Had to put it in a draw though to stop myself from eating more...

I really really want to lose weight - I strongly feel I need to lose weight for health reasons. I've put on so much weight this year, all the weight I've lost over the last few years. Really can't figure out what's been going on. :(

Anyway, tomorrow is another day...

I really don't expect anybody to read this, but just in case anybody does, I apologise for the incoherent ramblings and trivial nonsense!

Starting out

Goodness, I didn't think I'd start a blog... But am hoping that it will help me, maybe a bit like a diary. :) I certainly don't expect anybody to read it. So I guess I'm talking to myself here! Nothing new there. :) (no smilies here?)

Anyway, why am I starting this blog? Well, a few weeks ago I bought 'I Can Make You Thin' by Paul McKenna. I read it immediately and really liked it. It just seemed to make such perfect sense to me. And it seemed to work for a few days - but ... I'm finding it so hard to remember the four 'rules'! (Yeah, I know, I should probably list them here and provide some more info, but not now. Maybe tomorrow. I really need to go to bed! Just wanted to get this started.) So I am hoping that writing a blog will help me with this. Why? Don't know. I just have a feeling it might. :)

So ... more tomorrow!
