Introduction

Hello, I am and new to IOWL. I am a 30 y/o technical

professional from Dallas, TX but currently working for an extended

time in Helsinki, Finland. I have accomplished many things in my life

and lived many places but getting my weight under control has remained

elusive for me.

My immediate goals are to rewire my brain to accept, embrace and love

my body and also increase my self esteem in my personal life. I often

step up and am vocal in the workplace but am limited by my body image

when it comes to my personal relationships.

My long term goals are to reduce my body fat amount, have a positive

relationship with food and still feel like I am not missing out on

anything.

The key items I have learned in the past week listening to IOWL are:

1) Do not fear hunger

Often times I make sure I eat, or plan to eat or think about what I

will eat even before I am hungry. I have learned this is not healthy

and hunger will happen and it is OK.

2) Do not be scared of parties and events. Ask yourself " How do you

want to feel? "

gave me a great tool as I attend many work functions and parties

that involve great food and alcohol. Instead of feeling guilty after

enjoying a meal I ask myself how do I want to feel today. Most time

the answer is I do not want to hurt myself or feel guilty so I go slow

on eating.

3) Learn to eat as a naturally slender person

Many times I see my colleagues eat like hogs and maintain their weight

but reminded me I do not see how they eat other times during the

day. It is important for me to worry about myself only and when I am

bored do not gravitate towards food.

4) I drink out of anxiety

When said this, it made me stand still in my tracks. I have

major anxiety issues and never linked my excessive alcohol intake to

it. I often drink red wine and sell myself on the positive effects but

I end up sabotaging my progress and drinking out of anxiety. I often

discuss my future, what the " next step " is etc. while I am drinking

and it is obvious this has a direct affect on my interest and the

amount I drink.

These are just a few things I learned this week and I look forward to

listening more to IOWL and reading your comments.

Thanks!

I, apparently, need to go back and listen to this episode again

because I must not have caught this (which one is it?). I LOVE to

drink and also have a bit of social anxiety. HELLO!! I'm drinking out

of anxiety. It's so obvious yet I've never connected the dots in such

a black and white way before.

Welcome !

It sounds like you have a GREAT attitude, so you've won half of the

battle!

In the last few episodes, talks a lot about gratitude and the

importance of finding those things in our lives that we are grateful

for. Even though you have gained the weight back, if your health is

good again that is something to be grateful for.

Don't set yourself up for HARD work-make it easy! Visualize an

effortless journey to the lifestyle change that will stay with you

forever.

As LE said, this is a great group of people, and we're all here for you!

Hi ,

This is a terrific group. I am pretty new here myself. I have four children

15, 14, 7 and

my youngest, Seth will be 5 next month. He is autistic, high functioning. He

is also

developmentally delayed but is verbal. We are also in diapers still. I imagine

that must be

very difficult for your family. What types of programs, therapies do you have

him in? Has

anything made a difference for you? I know for us, it is difficult to manage

with 4 kids and

how they respond to Seth.

Welcome!

Hi again !

I have been an NFP Instructor for 35 years as of Sept

8th.. ( Billings Method ) I was an NFP Coordinator for the Joliet Diocese 24

raise her lovely daughter (3 yrs old ) they live with us. Attempting to keep my

husband's heart somewhat healthy. ( did I ever tell you " NFP Husbands are

the Best !) and after caring for my elderly In Laws until they returned

home to God.... decided to get back into Geriatrics a bit.. so work part time

at a nursing care center... that's it.

Happy Thanksgiving to All

Hello Lori,On behalf of all, Welcome! Little by little, one by one, we can change our surrounding bringing truth and love to others. Your story is encouraging to me, and I am sure to the others as well.

God bless you,Fr.

Hello, everyone!

My name is Lori Harlan, and I am a FertilityCare Practitioner Intern. I just finished my training - I just recently took my final exam.

I have loved teaching CrMS - I've met lovely people and had some challenges as well. I teach in a college town - Manhattan, Kansas - so the contraceptive culture is pretty well established. It is certainly difficult at times, but I still love serving.

My husband and I dealt with infertility, which led us to CrMS and NaPro Technology and resulted in our beautiful 4-year-old daughter.

I am excited to be a part of this group and I look forward to reading more!

Hello NFP Professionals,

I joined this group several weeks ago but have not yet introduced myself. My

name is le Van Haute and I am the Respect Life Coordinator for the Diocese

of Baton Rouge, LA and a Creighton Model FCPI. An area of focus for me right

now is promoting NFP and increasing awareness throughout the diocese. I'm

thankful for the wonderful resource this group is!

Darla, Welcome,

Question for you. Could you use food grade hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach?

The amount of bleach that the produce would absorb and get into you body,

frightens me.

Hopefully you can have your own garden.

Hello,

Thanks for letting me into the group! I was told initially that I was denied

entry so I'm glad someone changed their minds.

I just moved to Dakar, Senegal. We'd been in Stuttgart, Germany for the past

3.5 years on an American military base. Now we are working at the American

embassy here. We've been here for 4 weeks now. We found the produce here to be

fabulous, for the time being, except that we have to soak it all in a bleach

solution before we eat it. I plan to have a square foot garden and an indoor

micro garden once we move into our permanent quarters. For now I have been

experimenting with the lentils available at the Lebanese grocery store. I have

been putting them in a red Solo cup and draining them in a colander. I am not

very good at remembering to rinse them often enough but I guess once I get into

the rhythm of things I'll do better. Oh, and we have to use water from the

distiller machine so It's not quite the same as running the tap water in the

sink. So there you have it. Once I get my supplies I have in my house hold good

and get going on this project I'll probably have lots of questions!

Thanks,

Darla
