i'm trying to lose weight again.
(i started in december, you know, to avoid the whole inevitable New Year's resolution pressure.) so, it's going well. i feel like i have a good plan: i'm eliminating mid-meal snacking, eating smaller portions, walking the dog to get my cardio in, drinking water.
oh, and then there's the hypnosis.
people have asked me if getting hypnotized has helped me lose weight. the thing is, i have no idea! i have lost weight. i'm not tempted to snack (as much). but, somewhat disappointing, i don't find myself wanting to eat a salad every time i really want cheese and crackers. or chocolate. i can't all of a sudden run a sub 5 minute (or sub 10 minute) (okay... or EVEN a sub 12 minute) mile.
from what i understand about hypnotism, i won't really be aware of changes in my behavior around food, because it's all happening in the sub-conscious. it's all been pretty interesting, and, i'm feeling pretty upbeat about it.
i have mentioned before that i try not to be a slave to the scale. i love to have more energy. i love to see thin-ness in my face. i love to feel loose-ness in my clothes. i love when my pants fall down when i'm walking the dog...
i mean, come on! is there ANY better indicator of weight loss? i think not!
so my sub-conscious and i are pretty excited about reaching some weight-loss goals this quarter. i kind of have a "number" in mind. but i'm more focused on the "attitude" i have in mind. oh, and i'd like to be able to wear a cute pair of jeans when i go to Dallas in March.
just as long as i'm not the one at conference with my pants on the ground...

wahoo! i'm ALL for pants on the ground! good job lelly, keep up the good work.
Go Lelly Go! What a great way to use that nutty song/phrase..whatever it is. ha!
HA! Love the title. That is an earworm if I've ever heard one.
I love to see thinness in my face and feel looseness in my clothes, too. It's just been a very long time... way to go, Lelly!
I'm the same. I judge my weight purely on coat zip-upability and bra-cup overflow. I have scales, but they're gathering dust and TOTALLY out of sight of the girls so that they don't develop weight issues in childhood!!!
Good luck with it. Hypnosis? Blimey! That will make for good blogging (or maybe not, if you can't remember any of it!).
Whoop! Whoop! Good work Lelly!!
I agree with you about not being a slave to the scale. I judge things way more by the way my clothes fit--or not. I'm working toward some looseness too (in jeans--thinness in the face).
Curious about the hypnosis...
Good luck!!
You seem to have a really positive, healthy attitude about the weight loss! Keep up the good work.
How exciting to be losing weight! Try as I might I never seem to be able to make the scale move downward more than 3 pounds, and that only happens as a result of natural fluctuations rather than any will power on my part.
I've always wondered about hypnosis in this area, keep us posted!
By the way, my kids have been singing Pants on the Ground for a week now.
I just saw the YouTube video today. I'm not understanding the phenomenon. But, I'm glad someone is telling kids to pull up their pants.
As for you...way to go! i've been going to Weight Watchers for three months and have lost 10 pounds. It's so slow for me (probably because I have good days and really bad days. I'm so inconsistent). It's nice to feel my clothes getting looser. I am ready for them to be too loose to wear though. Then I'll consider my behavior changes more permanent.
Let's stick to it! Without being hypnotized.
Is your title from that American Idol audition guy that was on last week? So funny.
And feeling clothes get looser is wonderful. I think. It has been a while, you see....
