Thank Goodness for this Support Group

[Guest guest]

Terra,

I'm so glad that my words helped a bit. They are a paraphrase of something

I learned on THIS group when I first began WW last year... " If you work

the program, the program will work for you. "

I was so skeptical when I began WW. I had carried around so much weight for

SO many years, and had tried so many things. In addition to that phrase,

which by the way I also printed and posted where I could see it!!...but also

the light bulb for me was when I finally realized, and quit fighting, and

admitted that I HAVE to throw out the thought " diet. " " Diet " means there is

an end. It means, to me, that one day I would consider myself " finished, "

and could then go " off the diet. " Nope, that word is gone forever. I took

great delight when I finally internalized this concept...when my daughter

would ask " Hey Mom, is THAT on your diet? " And my response to her was " I am

NOT on a diet.....I have begun a new lifestyle and YES, this pizza is

allowed. ANYthing is allowed! " Anyway, I'm probably preaching to the

choir, eh? I'm loving my new lifestyle. Even when those nasty old impulses

rear their ugly heads, I now have the skills, the NEW mind-tapes to play for

myself, so that I can stay successful.

I WILL work this program! I love being thinner!! (You will too!!)
