Habits & Dieting
- POSTED ON: Jun 06, 2011

             

                    


I treat Dieting as an enjoyable Hobby.

The definition of the word “Dieting”
is to eat sparingly or according to prescribed rules.
The word “sparing” means marked by or practicing
careful restraint, therefore Dieting simply means
restrained and purposeful eating.

The only way for an obese person to become,
and to stay, a normal size…
which is commonly referred to as “thin”
is by Dieting forever.

There are many ways of eating,
many different Diets, and..if followed..most of them
will bring one to normal weight and allow one to stay there.

 Just pick one…any one…and begin following it.
If that Diet isn’t working for you, pick another,
…but carefully avoid the tendency to engage in
unrestrained eating episodes between diets or food-plans.
Changing Diets isn’t a “free space”
where the Laws of Nature are suspended.

Dieting, like life, is a process not an event.
One day stacks upon another.
It is the simple matter of changing one’s eating habits,
from unrestrained eating to purposely restrained eating.
by using one method or another.

Simple, but not easy.

Guidelines for DietHobby
- POSTED ON: Jun 03, 2011

 

                         
Here at DietHobby,
I like being able to establish my own Guidelines,
and I plan to keep them flexible for convenience.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Today I’ve decided that sometimes I will allow
one of my Thinspiration Moment Videos
to stand alone as my initial daily post.
 


Lucky?
- POSTED ON: Jun 02, 2011

Feeling Lucky often takes effort.

Directing one's Focus on the Positive is hard work.
Old patterns, old thoughts, old behaviors
will come up again and again.
In order to be healthy, we must learn to accept this fact,
and let them surface precisely so we can let them out

 Sometimes I mope, worry, and cry a few times,
and write my feelings down.
Up and out and gone. Until next time.
I work on Acceptance and Gratitude.
Life is a continual awakening and a continual letting go.

Years ago, these experience were much different.
I would have had all these feelings, with no awareness.
I would have stuffed them down with food 
and then I would have felt guilt and shame.
The pathetic cycle would continue,
and I would have no idea why.

Sometimes we believe that once we:

• lose the weight
• succeed at the physical feat of our choice
• haven’t binged in X days or weeks or months or even years!
• wear a certain size clothing
• haven’t eaten the food we individually perceive as “evil”
• have bariatric surgery
• (choose some other measurement of perceived perfection)

…we believe that we’re immune. 
   But, this is never true.

It’s not about “never again”
it’s about catching ourselves sooner
!

Extreme obesity is defined as
having a body-mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater.
BMI is a statistical measure of whether a person is
normal, overweight or obese
based on whether weight and height are in proportion.

For those who don't know:

At my highest weight of 271,
I had a BMI of 53.
My current BMI is 22.5
And....I didn't grow taller....
