Second thoughts

 Just thought you would like a little bit of feedback on your weight release CD.
     After we spoke on the phone and you said "You don't look very overweight for your height - why bother at your time of life, keep things sensible and enjoy life"  I thought what a good idea and thought no more about it. Then you kindly sent a CD up to me which I put to one side thinking 'Well Sandy did think it necessary after all'.
     Then my conscience started pricking me a bit. I thought well, I may as well listen to it just to see what it's like so I did. It made a lot of sense. Much better than counting calories or walking for miles (which I can't do anyway).
     The part which really stuck in my mind was "Visualise what it would be like to be able to get into your clothes without straining! You could look a t your silhouette without being embarrassed" so I thought, well I'll give it a try for a little while. 
     I started knocking back a second helping of dinner no matter how delectable it was. I learned to say "no" to my wife's chocolate fudge (which was hard).  I didn't have a couple of biscuits and cheese an hour before dinner when I got peckish.  All of a sudden, it became quite easy.
     Every time I was tempted, I remembered the bit about getting into my trousers that bit easier and putting an extra notch in my belt. I actually want to see my silhouette improving and am sure it will. Maybe as a bonus, my B.P. will come down too which will make my G.P happier.
     When I started just four weeks ago, I noted my weight at 98.6 kg. This morning I tried it again and it was  94.9kg.  Almost 3.75 kgs or 8 lbs in the month. On a roll now (although it IS tempting when I see my wife having a bit of chocolate, even though she does try to hide her look of joy if I catch her eating!). Thanks Sandy - you hit just the right note!  LR, Qld.
