Transformative Poem
Listen to this on IOWL episode 120 (www.personallifemedia.com/iowl)…
So, so, so, so, I will tell you a few very good things that I know
Your life can be easy, your life can be sweet,
if you give this a try, you might just want to tweet
about the places you’ll go and the things that you’ll do
When you settle down now deep inside, oh it’s true
there’s a space in there deep where you’ve hidden before
without even knowing you can open the door
and you found long ago you had buried away
the treasure, the gift, the game you can play
to release, to discover, to find in your mind
that all you must do is simply be kind
and all becomes possible as your fears melt away
In the now, in the here, in these moments today.

I love this poem, it has helped me to become kinder and more loving to myself. I have beeen overweight since I graduated from high school (a very long time) and as is true with most of us I have tried every diet that has come along. I recently did 45 days of 500 calories per day on the hcg diet and yes I did lose weight, not the pound a day as promised, but I did lose 15 pounds and was miserable and hungry the entire time. I have been listening to the podcasts and working through the notebook for the last several months and although I have lost only a few pounds, I feel the best I have in years and today I had a break through I just had to share. I love good food prepared well. My favorite restaurant is a local owned Italian restaurant, I do not go there all that often because I seem to have bought into the pasta is bad food and every time I eat pasta I berate myself for giving in to the lure of the bad food. But today I checked in with myself and decided to have some pasta with marinara and had a wonderful time. I was relaxed and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I ate only until I was satisfied, left quite a bit on my plate, and all the time I was at the restaurant I felt confident and relaxed and left satisfied and not overfilled and very happy, because I realized I had today made the break through I knew would come. I feel as if I can now enjoy good food without overeating, and it is all thanks to you and your program, I feel a great weight has beeen lifted from my shoulders and food will no longer be the foremost thing in my thoughts anymore.
Thank you,
Leilani
