Things going well. Listened to the cd and enjoyed it a lot...got it stereo this time! I particularly like the self love aspect of the programme and have used it when I deliberately chose to eat junk food in place of the healthier dessert I bought...interestingly I noticed when I ate it slowly in the moment...that actually it didn;t taste too good. I noticed others had mentioned something similar in their posts.
I have had a vodka and slimline tonic , ice and slice lemon 2 nights running now so I don't feel I'm being punished and appreciate the gentle kick of the alcohol... I was glad that I managed to stop at the one and remembered to drink it slowly and with pleasure. I was going to buy a bottle of vodka to have one a night at home but have held off so far as my resolve to stick at one might not hold out....
It was amazing at dinner last night that I had more than half my plate left when Denny and Martin had finished....that has to be an absolute first as I have eaten unmindfully and too fast for years. It is extraordinary to enjoy the taste of food rather than just eating functionally.

first day
This seems a good idea. I have looked at other people's and I think this can help me.
I used to keep diaries but they dont work too well these days.
This could work.
I need to slow down and would like to meditate more as I know how it can help me. I am trying to live more for the moment as this can help me too.
I am becoming too fearful of possibilities in the future and too anxious about not being able to manage or control everything. I am also becoming sad about things changing - the children needing me less, feeling lonely for them, feeling old, not feeling very good about myself.
This last point is closely tied in with feeling fat a lot of the time.
Yesterday I bought the Paul Mckenna book and am trying his 5 gold rules. They make a lot of sense as they advocate mindfulness and living for the moment and savouring the moment.
I may not tell anyone about this....just yet anyway, PM says apparently 21 days of doing his regime makes it a habit so I will wait and see if I can reach that milestone..I am after all, an inveterate dabbler am I not?
