Stop labeling?

[Guest guest]

So part of my IOWL journey has been babysteps and radical moderation. I stopped

labeling my diet. I am not vegan, or raw, or vegetarian, or piscitarian. I eat

whole, real food that feels good in my mouth and later! Thank you - true

pleasure from eating not only for the 5 s it is in my mouth, but 20-30 min later

has been my first babystep!

My next babystep has been exercise in moderation, and instead of

TV/DVDs/Netflix. Instead of 2 hr of intense cardio and weights, i started doing

yoga in my living room, and I stopped judging- sometimes I do it while watching

netflix, sometimes to yogic chanting, sometimes in silence. Sometimes I do the

whole 1.5 hr practice, and sometimes only 5-10 min.

So in July I had lost 10#...in August I only lost 2. But this is the first time

in 10 yr that I maintained a 10# weight loss for more than a week. I am moving

in the right direction-And trying to be kind inside and out to my self and

others. Sometimes labels help us figure out our direction, but when they do

not, let them go!

I like your idea of exercising in moderation. I think moderation would help me

a lot. I'm so all or nothing.
