but what now?
I’ve read the book… (thank you, Geneen Roth). So, now can I actually lose weight? Can I follow this truly amazing and brilliant guidance that I SO relate to? Can I curb my regulator/permissor? I am both… Of course I am, most of us are.
My regulator comes out in my judgment of others more than myself, though. Like the time I tried to tell my friend Chris that her corn on the cob looked like it had been snowed on. (the look she gave me I’ll never forget)
Ok, so I can eat whatever I want? That’s good. I know diets don’t work. They don’t call it yo-yo dieting for nothing. I’m a living example of losing weight on different diet regimens only to gain it all back and then some. And then some more every time. It sucks.
Let’s see, I remember the Dean Ornish diet, the Adkins diet, the calorie counting diet, the carb counting diets, the fat gram counting diets… And I remember a time long ago when I didn’t think about diets at all.
And the VOICE… yeah, loud and clear. I’m a failure, I’m fat, I’m ashamed of myself, etc., etc.
Here goes nothing…
