Thank you

Monk is solving homicides, so there is killing, but it's not graphic. And there

may have been a cuss word here or there, but much less than you'd experience

just being out in a public place.

Anything sexual is very vague, so they wouldn't pick up on it, although that

rarely happens.

I agree, watch a few episodes and see what you think. )

Hello friends, good to read all your comments, I totally agree with that

idea of reevaluating happiness and the number on the scale. One thing I have

been trying to do differently the past 2 weeks is be in the moment, be mindful

with everything I do. If I am with my daughter that should be my focus and if i

am eating something that should be my focus. I guess i realised that most of the

time I rush through life...I am so busy getting ontop of things that I miss the

moment which is why a lot of the time i am not even aware of whether or not I

ate and if so What it is I ate!

I am also trying to enjoy my meals, including those meals I may feel I shouldn't

be eating. I have slowly moved from this black and white thinking of eating

'good' foods and avoiding 'bad foods'. I eat what i believe my body desires and

although i still tend to overdo it sometimes I am certainly not where I was

before 's podcasts.

Thank you to every member of the group for being who you are and for not giving

up on yourselves, the fact that you are still reading, still writing, still

listening is a step in itself.

I like the idea of being completely mindful in the moment we are in. That is so

true that we try to stay so on top of things that we miss life altogether!

I can really relate to you with the black and white thinking about " good " and

" bad " foods. The IOWL podcasts have helped me so much...just thinking, " Yeah, I

WILL overeat (and to expect it from time to time), but the biggest thing is to

focus on bringing myself back to balance as quickly as possible afterwards. I

mean come on, I don't think we can ever " justify " having something like

ice-cream on our journey to weight loss and health, BUT who doesn't want

ice-cream every once in a while! And as we are eating..to TRULY enjoy it and not

feel guilty about it afterwards and then " realigning " ourselves quickly

after...sounds so wonderful to me!

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good for you, Lori!

I have struggled my obsession of food for years and I know what you mean, it

feels like you found a special treasure and you want to share it with the

world!
