hmmm, Tom, are you saying my thoughts on “naturally thin” aren’t far off? If that’s true it’s very encouraging. If “naturally thin” is just a continuing series of choices, that means anybody can be “naturally thin” and that’s a good thing!
Your doing so well! What kind of yoga do you do? I see you do it most days.
I think your thoughts for “naturally thin” people are right on. It is a continual process of thinking that over time
just becomes natural. Once you pick thru the emontional obstacles with food, food becomes fuel.
At least that’s how I look at it.
Josie
Thanks Josie! It is good to know anyone can be a “naturally thin” person...Without Joi, and the observations I’ve made of my son, I’d probably never have even considered that it was a possibility.
As to my yoga, I picked out about 40 poses that I put into a routine that I do; it has standing, bending, seated, twisting, and laying down poses. I’ve never found a DVD that I liked; it alway had poses I couldn’t do, or the pacing was all wrong. So I just made my own, and I’m very happy with it!
I thought I would update my thoughts on “naturally thin”. I didn’t get the chance yesterday to ask Jacob about this. I had my chance after supper… I asked him… “OK, hypothetically, there is ice cream in the freezer. You have a bowl and go downstairs. Do you then think about the ice cream, does it call to you to have another bowl?” He said no, if he’s had a bowl, he is fine until the next day, when it calls to him to have a bowl. He said if he doesn’t have a bowl every day when there is ice cream in the house, it requires great restraint on his part to not have that one bowl on that one day. But once he’s had that one bowl, he is fine.
That’s not quite what I was expecting, but that is one “naturally thin” person’s take on this.
I was recently called “naturally thin” and about fell over. But I have noticed that I tend to eat less for emotional reasons, and more for hunger, or habit. I’m anxious of the day it is second nature. I have the exercise part down, still working on the food, but it’s so much better than where it used to be.
Here’s to us being naturally thin soon, Deb! I know we can make it.
I agree Bree, exercise has been much easier to incorporate into my life than the eating part. We’ll get there soon, I’m sure… then we can sign our names Deb, NT - right Tom!
You’re right Joan… I’ve definitely changed my mindset. I know I will reach my goal; it will happen; I have no doubt about it. The fact that the scale hasn’t moved, well, it will, no doubt about it. I’m grateful right here - right now. It will happen, it already has happened in my mind, my body is just catching up…
I’m counting by months and days this year, since last year I got confused and somehow didn’t remember how to count to 365! Duh!
Thanks guys, clicks are always fun!
I’ve decided on a controversial concept around here - I’m not getting on the scale for the entire month of February. I track my diet and my workouts daily. I have control over those aspects of my journey...and I plan to stick to my plan. But I have no control over what the scale says, and it has a tendency to bum me out. So I’m going to see if I can ignore it for a month and see if it goes better that way… we’ll see…
But if your on your plan, and honestly watch your calorie intake, you should be okay....
What the scale does for me, is not really bum me out, just confirms that what I eat and how it has an effect on how much i weigh… Since I track everything, its easy to see how what is causing it.
Keep us informed how your feeling....should be interesting come March 1!
I also track everything, and it bums me out because even though I know I’m doing everything I’m supposed to, it’s not moving...So I need a break from watching it not move… But I’m sure you’ll be there to lead me back to my path should I stray, Tom!
