It seems like I've been on this weight loss journey a long time, but in actuality it's only been 3-1/2 months. This week, I lost part of the weight I gained at Thanksgiving, but am still up 2 pounds from my lowest. The number is now 23 lb weight loss.
Have you ever heard of mindful meditation? I've taken classes in it before. According to Wikipedia, it's a concentrated awareness of one's thoughts, actions, and motivations. Being mindful means bringing one's awareness into the present moment, so you hear all the chatter that goes on in your head that averts your attention away.

Being mindful means bringing one's awareness into the present moment, so you hear all the chatter that goes on in your head that averts your attention away. With mindfulness you realize "thoughts are just thoughts" ... they are not reality and it's this realization that releases you from their hold. I think this concept can be applied to "mindful weight loss." Instead of mindlessly eating as fast as we can, while our mind spins off in another direction, we can concentrate and become aware of the food we are putting into our bodies.
This 3-1/2 month weight loss journey has allowed me to better observe of myself, thoughts, and habits about food. For the most part, I'm starting to mindfully move away from my feeding frenzy days.
