Hi. This is my experience of having lost 90 pounds and kept it off for the last 10 years. I had to face the fact that no matter how much I wanted to think my way into being thin, there were just some foods that made me go over the edge, ie, sugar and carbs. I entered a free program that gave me a food plan that took out man made carbohydrates and lo and behold, not only is the food abundance, but I lost 90 pounds and have kept it off for the last 10 years. I went from a size 22 to a size 2!
It's like an alcoholic, once you take a drink, your body becomes physically addicted - the same with certain foods. Just my take and hope it helps.

Yeah.. and I'd love to also grow a tail... or a pouch, at least 
As far as the topic of food is concerned, I noticed that eating after appreciating is sooooo joyful, hard to describe even.
And, what's more, I'm doing it just for the joy - didn't want to lose weight, but my skirts seem to be getting bigger...
Free kisses for all

Wow - such big changes are happening for me since we started the Warmup. I had a busy period that I wasn't applying the Warmup every meal (and thats so positive here - cos I am not falling for the "You broke your diet/promise/committment pattern!)
In recent days I realise what I want for my body is really changing - forever its been thinness - no cellulite - feminine - firm
Now it seems to be more about how I feel - I want to feel light - I want my body to be Vibrationally Aligned to Wellbeing and Vitality. I want to be flexible and supple.I want to keep moving. I am not so bothered with how my body looks as long as I feel fantastic. That makes so much more sense to me, it feels personal at last - something I can feel rather than a picture. And that changing atttitude is affecting how I feel about Exercise too - I want to do it cos it feels good and it makes my body alive and awake - I feel happy when I move in a way that is about feeling good (rather than exercise, losing weight, firming and toning etc)
And I have had the funniest experiences with food - and looking forward to more. On reading that Abe says everything is alive - I decided to really make friends with my food - MAKE "THEM"Real! - - talking to biccys, interviewing tomatoes, complimenting muesli!!! It is fun and its really changing the energy even more around eating for me - so as well as Rampages I am Communing With My Food!!!! (i'll have to keep an eye out for passers-by - I must look pretty crazy!)
Oh - A Big WELL DONE to everyone here - I am so proud of you and so happy to be part of this!
Love Suncat
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!
XOOXOXXOXOXO

off to yoga class here in Los Angeles!!!

I love this thread!
I'm still doing well with the challenge. I do forget sometimes to consciously think about my food before eating it, but I've also noticed a subtle shift in what I'm thinking when I do catch myself thinking about it. I think I'm starting to appreciate food without trying now. Very cool.
A funny (as in unexpected by me) side effect is that I notice I'm eating less. I'm not hungry nearly as often as I used to be. It seems that now that food has become another thing that I appreciate (like the pretty monsoonal clouds, and the green (green!) high deserts of summer) I'm not as drawn to it as I used to be. Especially when I'm not hungry - which is new.
There's also a second nice little "side effect" that I'm noticing. It's getting easier to appreciate my body. And I wasn't even really trying for that! Just little things here and there (I look good in these jeans, I have a pretty face, I like my eyes) but they are adding up and I don't have to work at it so much anymore.
I *know* I can think myself slender! I know it in my bones. Now, maybe that will mean my thoughts lead me to make different physical choices (and maybe it won't). But I know it is possible, and I know I can do it. This thread only adds to my confidence. I just love hearing Everyone's success stories and outside-the-box-wonderful ideas. You people are awesome.
I'm so encouraged by You.
Have I mentioned that I love this thread?

I feel the same way!!!!
SO HERE WE ARE!!!!
30 DAYS!!!!
It has been an amazing journey for me. Somehow, the new self-love that I'm feeling has upset the applecart in my personal life, and all hell has broken loose!
It has given me an even deeper understanding that FEELING GOOD is possible, even if people I love have different vibrations going on.
During these wonderful 30 days, I have felt more consistent love for my body and appreciation for my food. I love what others have written about being more into HOW MY BODY FEELS than HOW IT LOOKS.
Also, this was not a DIET, and I've been very kind with myself about how often I did it consistently. I, too, have found I'm eating less. And enjoying it more. I have enjoyed checking in with someone else more specifically when I can't post.
I've been drinking lots and lots of LIQUID LOVE!!! H20 has never tasted so good!
I am in charge of how I feel. I'm really really really feeling great about all of this, and I'm so glad that I have all of you on this path.
What's so interesting is that at the beginning, I had a concrete measure of how much weight I might lose, but today, I am realizing that that's just the bonus prize for FEELING BETTER ABOUT FOOD AND MY BODY.
THE REAL PRIZE IS THIS NEW MINDSET!!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
XOXOOXOXOX

Truly?! really??! 30 days already - WOW!!!! Where did it go???
Well I just want to say thank you - I didn't Warmup as I had intended at every meal - but I did do warmups - and there has been massive change for me in how I am being with my Body and Food! - and it is exciting to see how much change has occurred amongst us all!!!
I am also eating less and enjoying it more - sometimes fast and sometimes slow (and enjoying it either way - No Guilt!)
When I was about 3 years old I wanted to be a Can-Can dancer - the old fashioned kind!!! - that is the kind of body I am loving right now - Soft and Generous and Sexy and Flexible - way more real and achievable than Supermodel Skinny - and way more beautiful I think. Feels good to me!
In Much Appreciation - and it is so lovely to be around you all!
Love Suncat

Wow, hall of fame, such an honor! 
Well, I have to confess that I'm a little disappointed that time was running so fast. I got distracted by many other things and didn't do the warmup in the past few days.
But... I'm much more aware of my body now, I (mostly) eat when I'm feeling good (not TO FEEL good) - which is a great success, and I enjoy eating much more than before. Oh, and I notice if I'm starting to freak out about something I'm eating.
In fact, I gave up the whole "weight loss" - issue and handed it on to the universe. Or the universal manager. Or somebody else.
Feels good.
