I’ve been a bit blah over the past few days. It’s a pretty good sign that I ‘don’t wanna talk’ when I write about something quite unrelated to what I’m thinking or doing – hence my last ‘what I wear to exercise’ post.
I sometimes unsubscribe from blogs that are constantly negative and I don’t want this to become like that. I’ve been trying to look for ‘new ways’ of getting through this and coming out the ‘other side’ intact: as a better version of me. As the me I want to be.
I’m still grappling with the notion of intuitive eating. I know that what I’ve been doing for the last 30 years hasn’t worked but I’m so easily spooked – by my own behaviour and by negativity around me that I then question every thing I decide to do.
Obviously I’m doing a lot of thinking about this lately. Believe me (for those who haven’t known me for long), I’m an overthinker and an over-analyser for sure… but I’m not usually THIS angsty!
I said to someone recently that I’m ‘poised for change’. I just hope it means that good things are coming.
On top of that, I’ve actually been unwell for the last few days, so perhaps that’s why I am feeling overly tired and emotional.
And then I received the link to this short slide show. It’s an Empowerment Card presentation used by Dr Rick Kausman, whose book, ‘If Not Dieting, Then What?‘ I wrote about in this post last week (which includes links to his book and website.) And no, the presentation isn’t as ‘wanky’ as it sounds if you’re like me and not big on affirmations and the like. It made me cry – but I did confess to being tired and emotional!
Enjoy!

It’s ALWAYS great to be reminded…thank you for sharing that slideshow!
Hope you’re feeling better and less angsty soon…I can relate and it sucks, but it’s also part of the frickin’ process 😉

Hi, I saw the link on Karen’s Facebook and followed. Glad I did! I loved the video. It is good to be reminded.

Hi Hanlie and thanks for visiting – I’m a huge fan of Karen’s writing and blog (and just finished reading her book). The email advising me of the slideshow being uploaded was quite timely given my ‘blah’ frame of mind at the time!

Intuitive & Mindful Eating has been a hard road, but a road that nevertheless lead to pure freedom.

It’s nice to know there are people who have been there and made it! (Although I gather the journey is never-ending…!)

Hi Michele – it was quite timely for me as well!

One of those slides talked about small steps/choices today. I personally have been working on my next 1 choice and my next 1 pound. Those are goals I can actually handle. 😀
