hello Carol
that bit about eating less jumped out at me a bit, because I identified so strongly !

I know this sounds weird, but eating less is very counter productive for me..... it sort of puts my fat cells on high alert and I hang on to every bit Ive got I know that sounds unbelievable, but honestly, that's me and I have a lifetime worth of 'research' on the biochemical repercussions of it

the great thing about doing my steps has been that over time I have learnt just what suits me. Specially in my step seven learnings - and journal is the star Because my "things" aren't necessarly everyone elses "Things"

We recognise our similarities in so many ways, but this is also so very individual

I was so anxious to get on with weight loss at first. It was ALL I was bothered about

I think a turning point was realising I was setting the stage with my breakfast work. So it starts from then, the balancing and awareness of what my brain chemicals were doing. I didn't see it at all at the time
