Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I am new to IOWL. I have listened to a number of her podcasts and have just purchased the book. I know she said to start a group...get connected. I would love very much to get on this right away. All of my girlfriends are 125 pounds or less and don't care about this kind of stuff, which is where I would like to be at some point! So, I am at a loss for friends who are interesting in losing weight, eating better, and dealing with their psyche. I live in the Logan Square neighborhood. Let me know!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks so much. I just thought it would be fun to see if I could find anyone in my area for more of an in-gathering on top of the support here. Thank you for the welcome! I am just starting out but having trouble lifting my spirits. I am very down on myself and I am having trouble turning off that part of me. I feel like I need to somehow lift my spirits a bit in order to really get gung ho and get moving on this. I listen to the podcasts in my car and just started her book. When I take in all she says, it makes so much sense. I answer her questions to myself and feel like I get it and want it. Then I get home or wherever I am going and feel hopeless....not sure what exercise I could do or episode I could listen to that might better deal with that. I can't figure out how to be my own friend and support myself. ugh. I know this board is meant for positivity, but that is just not what I feel at the moment. However, that is what I want to feel.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Kelsae or Mom: One of the earliest podcasts (I'm not sure of the number but within the first 10) addresses the Walt Disney technique of creating by putting the critic away first. This might be helpful to listen to as it can be applied to shutting off the negativity that you are feeling while you go explore how you truly want to feel. I recommend doing the exercises in the book and podcasts and journaling so you get it out of your head and start to develop an arsenal of tools to turn to when you need help. What always helps me when I'm slipping into negative thought pattern or beating -up- myselfdom is to simply ask solution oriented questions: How do I want to feel? What is the lesson I need to learn from this experience? What positive action can I take right now to feel better? Hope this helps! Feel free to share whatever you need to positive or not so positive. Hugs, > Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 We wouldn't be here if we didn't all have our own issues. No need to worry about that. Could you make a list of all the things you like about you? I did that once and it felt very uncomfortable, but it does open your eyes. I have a hard time believing all the good things people say about me too. Give it time. ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2012 10:15 PM Subject: Re: Anyone in Chicago Want To Start A Group?  Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Kelsae, Just keep on listening and writing in your journel. Also, start with the first episode and SLOWLY work on the podcasts. It takes time for everything to sink in but if you persist you will definitely see a difference in yourself in the future. Great to see you as part of our group! ________________________________ To: " insideoutweightloss " <insideoutweightloss > Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 4:27 PM Subject: Re: Re: Anyone in Chicago Want To Start A Group?  Great idea, .
