It's Day 11 and I feel so good! I feel light and energetic. I put on my "skinny jeans" today and they zipped up. I won't wear them just yet as they are still a bit tight but it won't be long! I got up and went to the gym early this morning and now I feel so happy and bouncy. I missed it yesterday (didn't exercise yesterday)but I had it the day before (I exercised that day). This has totally taken me by surprise. Oprah talks all the time about how she exercises but doesn't really like it and I've always sort of been in the same boat. Maybe it's the endorphins or maybe it's feeling the changes already happening in my body that are getting me excited.
Thoughts have been swirling through my head "What am I doing different this time?" "What am I doing that is so right?" I want to know because I don't want to lose it! I think it's the powerful force of the decision & commitment with a heavy dose of belief and topped off with the support and camaraderie of my SBFs. It feels like the fat is melting off like butter in a hot skillet!

Oh, cool, Marjorie. I am so happy that you are feeling this way. :)
It reminds me of three years ago when you and Donna and the other participants in our class came back after your first week of not ingesting sugar, wheat, flour, and nutrasweet--and I knew how tough withdrawal had been for me--and I expected you all to hate me :)until you made it to day 28--but instead--you all came back bright eyed and raving about how much better you felt already!
See--it's all about feeling good (or God) for me--and that's what hooks us. And it looks like you are hooked already! Yipee!
If eating my trigger foods and being stuck in my overeating cycle and carrying extra weight felt good to me--I would still be doing that. Believe me! I like to feel good! :)
But, staying on my NAFP, in positive action each day (which includes exercising at least3-4 times per week), practicing the twelve steps, and staying in close contact with the God of my understanding--feels so much better--and that is why I do what I do. Ya know?
And it took me awhile until exercise felt good too--but now, man, oh man, it is like the best thing ever--and way better than my trigger foods, which always had the negative after effects for me.
Just 30 minutes of either lifting weights or the elliptical or running, etc. --and I am a new person. Those endorphins....I love 'em! And I too love to feel light and energetic--and I never did while in the food and heavier.
So--you go girl. You are right on track--and just keep doing what you are doing. There is no mystery to it! :) You can't lose it. Just keep doing it! :)
With Love,
Kathy
Ah, the skinny jeans! Gotta love that feeling! I can't wait to see you in them soon.
I was just listening to an MMM teleseminar and got a refresher on the keys to manifesting our vision. It starts with creating intention by 1) picturing the experience and 2) feeling the experience.
The feeling of intention you've created here is a powerful one, indeed!
Way to go!
All my best, Donna
