Guest guest Report post Posted January 12, 2012 Welcome Marie! Much of what you shared I could relate to. It's very interesting how many of our " food " history is the same. As I have just started the book and am going at it very slow in order to really have things sink in and take hole, you will be a great inspiration to me!...Speaking of " inspiration " , that was my word for the year. I have a list from 1-46. If anyone else wants a word, shoot me a private email and I'll send it to you. Ford CPhT linda.ford@... " Sometimes God allows us to see the miracle. Sometimes God allows us to BE the miracle. " From: insideoutweightloss [mailto:insideoutweightloss ] On Behalf Of mariecapizzi Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 8:21 PM To: insideoutweightloss Subject: Intro Hello All, My name is Marie Capizzi and I live in a suburb of Pheonix, Arizona. I joined this group on the day I read about it in 's book - January 3rd. I've been following all the posts and I want to come out of the shadows and introduce myself. I have been more than a little intimatidated about posting because I am not a writer and so many of you on here write beautiful, heart wrenchingly truthful messages. I really hate writing outside of my job but I am getting used to keeping the journal as I work the book. I am a newbie to 's teachings. I discovered the podcasts when I discovered the book and this site. I have listened to the first 7 or so and it has really made a difference. Even my therapist noticed that I seem more relaxed in our last session. I do feel much less compulsive around food and some long held vices. I have about 50 pounds to lose and after Chapter 1 of the book I really feel that I can do it. I've maintained a 1200 to 1500 calorie meal plan this week and have lost almost 6 pounds so far. I am inspired by all the good messages coming at me since signing up here and in the class. I am 58 and I have struggled with my weight and yo yo dieting since age 12 when my perfectly slim mother put me on Weight Watchers.In my teens and twenties I took diety pills to lose weight and in my thirties I discovered a great program called Diets Don't Work by a guy named Schwartz or Schultz or something like that. It was very effective and 's work really reminds me of it. In my forties it was Atkins. I lost with all of them, up to 80 pounds in some cases but the weight has always come back. I am at a point in my life now where I just want to let go - I want it over with and I have great hope for the Fullfilled process, my therapy and my work with a dietician. As a few of you have shared, I too have been stuck in the feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness for a long time. I am working at quieting the dysfunctional thoughts I grew up with. I have done some of Byron 's spiritual work in questioning whether those core beliefs are actually true. I need to get back into a regular practice of this again. Also, like many of you have said, I tend to hang back, not get involved socially and I am incredibly lonely. I have not made one lasting friendship since moving to Arizona 7 years ago. I come home to a sweet dog and a noisy parrot each evening and try to numb myself out with pot in front of the television. I'm happy to report that I haven't done that once since logging on here in the past week. I am really counting on you all as my lifeline as I work the book over the next six weeks. I hope to be able to support you too. I love to talk on the phone and will put my cell phone number out there if you want to talk: .
