Things have been a little slack for me in the last little while :( I'm not sure why but my drive & motivation has been down in the dumps & cravings for bad foods, on the other hand, have gone way way up :( So the progress has been slower & I may have even regressed a little (I'm too afraid to get on the scale for fear of what I'll be told)
But I still have ultimately the same goals... I just need to pick up the pace & increase my motivation to do better. So how will I do that? I'm not totally sure... but one thing I've been trying recently is talk therapy/ hypnotherapy. I know you guys are thinking ... "Wow, Kellie really will try anything!" But from my perspective I've tried everything else, why not this?
The lady I'm seeing is Joanna Moen & I heard about her from a girl at the Farmer's Market who had gone to her for weight loss & found it to be very effective. What I like about our sessions is that because it begins with talk therapy, I can talk to her about things related to my weight loss struggles & she's going to help me figure out why I turn to food for comfort rather than treating it as fuel for my body & a source for an appropriate amount of pleasure.
Now, I'd never been hypnotized before & I thought for sure it wouldn't work for me & was really nervous during our first session... but it's actually really cool. I feel very comfortable talking with her & as she guides me through the hypnotherapy process, I just end up becoming very relaxed & just focus on her voice as she gives positive reinforcement & subtle suggestions for things to change or improve upon. Today I was so relaxed I was even drifting in & out of sleep, but could still focus mostly on what she was saying. It was really neat.
So, I'm going to try to get back on the saddle & get up & go again. Please, if you feel so inclined, write me a message of encouragement... it would be much appreciated! I'm off to use the elliptical... YAY!
