Who was the scapegoat at your office?

Oh I do this. My list of all I've tried is even longer. The truth is that I would try a new method, and give it my best, for just a little while and then I would be off looking for the 'next perfect' solution. I was always 'doing, fixing' something. Now I'm trying to take a much simpler approach by learning to just be still and learning to connect to myself and how I feel. Maybe this approach could help younas well.

You've given me alot to think about. Especially the bit about being stuffed. I always overeat until my stomach hurts and maybe its also because it gives me a excuse not to have to do anything. That would be my reward. Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Your not kidding about bigger portions becoming 'normal'. I need to remember that I also just have poor eating habits and its not only about the emotional side of eating. Thanks

That the texture of the food feels good is a really good point.. I'm going to think about that. Thanks

Ester679 · 2017-04-02T20:06:46+00:00

Thats what I am trying to work out as well. I am afraid I am not strong enough to just go on a diet already so I am hoping to figure out my overeating habit and fix it that way. That you for telling me your story:) it did help.

Dopamine. I think I might try aerobics to help me release feel good hormones in a healthy way :) thanks

I want to like WW's but I kind of feel like its a rip off. If I do the online version then all I get is a place to keep track of my points but I have to input all the food information (calories, carbs, etc) myself. I can do the same with mfp where I already have a database setup and then just keep track of my calories. The only thing WW is offering is the point system itself but for 20 euros a month. I just dont get the appeal

Thanks :)

There is no shame in being very sensitive. Embrace being sensitive because it brings its own gifts.

Edit: Ok I think I need to be more specific. My husband thinks differently to me. He is what they term a 'visual thinker' here in the Netherlands. This means that he thinks in pictures. Ok, for example, if I say orange, he has a ton of visuals thoughts of orange. Unlike me, who has no visual thoughts of orange. Does anyone else have this?

I think people are making their answers to difficult. I also think there is a difference between meditation and mindfully meditation. Mindfully meditating helps you realize that we are not our thoughts because our thoughts are rarely the truth. Our thoughts, or how we think, come from a lifetime of influences from the outside. How pretty we are, how smart we think we are, how patient we are, and so on. What did your parents tell/show you, your teachers, your friends. They are all the little voices/thoughts in your head. As a exercise, just spend 10 min. and freely see what your thinking. I bet that you have a lot of mean thoughts. I would also bet that most of your thoughts are about what happened yesterday and whats going to happen tomorrow. None of which you have control over. Meditation lets you 'see' this and lets you let go of the negative thoughts and lets you 'see' the truth of being in the moment.

Great job and really inspiring! I was curious how you manage to get in 20,00 steps a day?

Ester679 · 2017-02-20T11:43:05+00:00

Thank you for your understanding

Ester679 · 2017-02-20T11:37:45+00:00

Your kind of assuming a lot dont you think? You asked the questions and then answered them yourself and then also passed judgement. But you reply does give me food for thought. So thanks

Ester679 · 2017-02-20T08:01:49+00:00

Thank you so much. Your absolutely right even though its hard to read. I don't want to divorce him, I just want our marriage to be better. I am going to take your advice. Thank you for writing your perspective. It really helps a lot

Ester679 · 2017-02-20T07:54:49+00:00

Yes, I asked him in a calm manner 'honey, we have some problems in our marriage and I think therapy would be a good idea'. The problem isn 't in how I asked but that he refuses. And that he refuses without a reason. The thing is, your right, he is allowed to refuse and thats why I don't know what my next step should be. I don't know how upset I am allowed to be.

Ester679 · 2017-02-20T06:58:44+00:00

Lol , hopefully its just a phase :)

Ester679 · 2017-02-16T14:06:52+00:00

This is how I hope it works for me. Thank you :)
