On my blog Explore What's Next I write about my efforts to lose weight. The other day it occurred to me that keeping track of what I eat shouldn't be a punishment. It was more like what I try to do for Annie when she gets nervous:
"Since food journaling, I enjoy eating more because I feel safe. It’s
like horseback riding. If I don’t hold the reins at all, my horse feels
like no one’s taking care of her and she gets scared. If I hold them
too tightly, she feels caged, trapped, inducing anxiety as well. She is
happiest and best behaved if I have a gentle, sure tension on the
reins. As the great riding instructor Sally Swift said, “Hold the reins with the same grip you use to hold a child’s hand.”
Sure, gentle. Safe."
This attitude has made a world of difference! Already I've lost a few pounds and have more energy. My fingers are crossed.
It is a nice blog. Yes you have written good things here.This is really good, but i know about one more thing to loose weight this is called Hypnotherapy. Lets check it out.
