Just to think what I will be telling myself AFTER I have overeaten, I really prefer NOT to overeat. Now I like what I say to myself when I feel in control. We take so much time reassuring the people we care for and take so little time to reassure ourselves for all the things we do right. Feeling good about myself is the best platform to stay on the path of a naturally slender person. What has really helped me with this situations is the “away-from motivation”.

I've noticed that Renee uses this technique when we envision ourselves the way we'd like our bodies to be and "step in" and really feel what it would be like to be that way, so I started using the same approach before meals. When I imagine putting down my knife and fork, I imagine my stomach feeling satisfied but not uncomfortably full. I imagine that maybe a few hours later I have plenty of room for a glass of wine (that always seems to happen at special occasions!). I imagine reflecting on the meal and appreciating the flavors and textures of the food, without feeling at all guilty. I even imagine telling myself, 'Of course you don't want to eat anymore! You're a naturally slender person, and you want to make your body feel GOOD, not stuffed from eating too much!' Maybe it's silly, but it works!

I feel as if finally my inner-self has been taken care of, I feel so much more compassion towards myself and why I have been overeating. I really think this is the best starting point when wanting to make permanent changes, being good to yourself... I have always said that the trick to lose weight had to be somewhere inside me because, as you say, I am a walking nutrition encyclopedia! Well after just these few chapters, not only do I feel more compassionate towards myself, I am in a better mood, more patient and much more happier because I don't have these negative self-talk all day long inside my head. Thank you Renee for this wonderful gift...a gift of a lifetime! Hope to meet you sometime... I am just begining with the program (Chapter 7) and I can already see the changes.

I try to keep in mind how I want to feel after the meal, yet that does not always override my taste buds. It doesn't make sense that we deliberately do things that we KNOW are going to make us miserable. This one is a toughie for me.

I learned that it is my stomach that wants me to feel comfort and security. It was very clear to me as I went through this guided meditation. I looked at my stomach and thanked it for trying to help me. I told it that I was going to help it from now on, because it's method hasn't been very effective. I told it that I appreciated all of the hard work it has put in to trying to make me feel comfortable and secure. I'm looking forward to the next episode!

I was brought up constantly hearing the mantra "If you can't do it right the first time, don't bother doing it at all" so if I can't be perfect I stop trying. But I don't understand what the "gift" there is or how I am supposed to get past that. I am guessing that my inner block is my perfectionism/fear of failure.

I borrowed and referenced certain points to help my clients. Not to mention, why I don't struggle with weight, I am a "busyness" junkie that is always trying to get more done. Your show Selfish Enlightenment had me come to realize how I was really cheating my clients, staff, friends, and mostly definitely my family. After the show, I took a vacation and realized how burned out I was. Thanks Renee for your message and the work towards the legacy you are leaving!
