I can make you THIN!!

So, I watched "I Can Make You Thin" with Paul McKenna on TLC last night. It was a major DUH! moment for me. He didn't tell me anything new. In fact, what he did tell me was how to go about losing weight...exactly the same way I did 3 years ago! Why did I stop? Everyone said I looked pretty good. I still got to eat what I want. Just instead of a big bowl of ice cream well past when I was full, I would have one or two spoonfuls. I have slowly slipped back into the bad habit of not wanting to waste anything so I will just eat it all...whether or not I am hungry. And, I will over eat the bad stuff because it just tastes good, dang it! That's what has made me put on 20 pounds these past couple of years more than anything. So, I implemented his words (with a cute reminder from Jonathan around lunch time)...and it worked. Yes, I did eat more frequently during the day, but I can honestly say that I have eaten a lot less overall today. And, I am usually kind of hungry by the time I leave work to go hit the gym...and today I am not. Which is good...class doesn't start until 7. Tonight will be the big test, though. On Mondays and Wednesdays I get home fairly late and am pretty dang ravenous by the time I get there. I have a bad habit of just shoving food in my mouth as fast as possible. This is where my self-control and will power will come into play. I will force myself to eat slowly and methodically and stop the minute I get full...not stuffed! Wish me luck! Off to the gym now...
