I have a bit of you in me...I <a href="http://www.mindbodyfx.com/" rel="nofollow">emotionally eat</a> when I'm sad, mad, tired, hungry, bored, happy, alone. I binge on Chips, Ice Cream, candy anything that tastes good to me. I like sweet and salty. I have become obese. I hate every second of it. I went on a diet and lost a lot of weight for my wedding but as soon as i started 'cheating' at my all inclusive honeymoon it all went downhill from there. I packed on about 60-100lbs in about 6 months...totally not healthy at all! I wanted to do something about it. So I needed a pick me up, a motivation. To drill it into my head. To be there for me, and I came across this book by Melonie Dodaro, "The MindBody FX Lifestyle". I wanted someone that knew what they were talking about. I love this book because you learn to focus on your ideal weight, you get into that new mindset, and you take control of your bad habits. So far, the emotional eating hasn't happened, I have lost 6lbs and still on my way to a great start. I don't think I could have done this without the help in this book. I've learned to substitute my portions and in replace of what i 'crave' i have something healthy. It's really worked out, I haven't binge eaten in a long time and I'm already seeing a change in myself and my skin too. I feel like I can try and make a difference through what I learned and I would love to pay it forward. I took a picture of myself before and I am going to take an after picture when I'm at my ideal weight just to see exactly what has changed! So good luck to all of you. I hope my post can give you a little bit of hope!! .-= Chrissy´s last blog ..<a href="http://twitter.com/ChrissysKorner/statuses/9370363606" rel="nofollow">ChrissysKorner: Had a great staycationing in vancouver with all the olympic hype!
