[Shannon]

Hey Shannon, I haven't finnished reading the book but what I got from it was funny as its so simple, even tho your hungry doesn't mean you have to eat, I mean I really got it. I purchased the maintain weight sub a week after that & I just wasn't hungry any more, well I wasn't hungry for overeating at a mealtime or eating for no reason at all. I've always been fit & slim, but I smoked for a long time & when I gave up 5 years ago, I'd eat for no reason at all or overeat cause the meal was so nice, so I have fluctuated occasionally 5 kgs over my normal weight since then. I lost the weight from diet & excercise in 3 weeks.

Thanks for the info on the others, Ill try maintain weight overnight & then self est & soc. anx during day.

There's a a lot of good information in the book and ways to lose weight without even really putting in much effort. I used to have a super high metabolism, and it's still active, but slowing down. I maintain my weight by basically eating very slowly (you really enjoy food a whole lot more that way, interestingly enough), knowing when I am full before I feel full (takes a little practice, but easy enough to do), making eating a low priority activity for me (because I eat to live, instead of live to eat), and keeping myself busy with interesting things other than eating (which means I don't have time to think about it).

I think you'll find that the rest of the book is worth reading as well. It's odd that I don't even need the information, and yet I enjoy reading it whenever I pick it up. It's not even something I would normally read - I wrote it for a friend of mine, really, and she hasn't even read the darned thing. lol
