Shrink Yourself

My sister, Carol, sent me her new blog site about Transformations so I decided to participate as well. The idea of transforming or changing is facinating. I think of a butterfly as it emerges from it's cocoon.

So, my mind was rapidly thinking of different areas I could focus on. There were so many, that I decided I need to go to the one issue that I have been working on for many years....my weight. I have been dieting, successfully mind you, since 2005 and have lost 75 pounds, but now I find myself consumed by diets, food, the scale, my weight - until that is all that I think about. I'm frantic if the scale goes up, I rejoice if it goes down, but then hate myself when it goes up again.

I found a book called "Shrink Yourself". It is a self awareness book about why we eat. I'm going to read this book and as things become "aware" to me, I'm going to blog them. Hopefully by the end of this journey, I will have emerged "transformed" or at least a more content person with who I am. And perhaps as you journey with me, you too can be more aware of your own need to transform.
