I anxiously waited for this show to come on TLC last night. A British doctor who claims that he can make me thin through the television set. I got Grace to bed and Carson was helping daddy with something, I settled in with my pen and paper eager to learn the trick that would help me lose weight. Sitting on the edge of my chair....what that's it? I could have told you that! Here are the 4 rules according to this doctor.
1. When you are hungry EAT!
a. make sure you are physically hungry, this hunger comes on slowly
b. emotional hunger comes on fast
2. Eat what you want!
a. he suggests that you throw out all the food that you don't like
3. Eat Consciously!
a. take a bite, put your knife and fork down
b. do not eat while watching T.V., listing to the radio or reading
c. concentrate on what you are putting in your mouth and chew at least 20 times a bite
4.When you are full....STOP!
a. If you follow rule #3 you'll be able to know when you are full!
I've heard all of that before, I actually do that to a degree. I am the slowest eater I know, well next to my 4 year old son. I've always been a super slow eater and I've never had a problem throwing food away. What I wanted to learn is how to get these last 10-15lbs of baby weight off that seem to have attached themselves to my hips, butt and thighs! I'm sure I know the answer to that question too....get on the treadmill! The truth is I am lazy when it comes to working out! I go through periods where I do great, I'm on that thing faithfully every night then the littlest thing happens and there's my out, and I take it! I'm not making a resolution to do it that is a sure sign that I'll fail. I'm just going to say I'm going to make a conscious effort to work out at least 3 times a week. And hopefully this summer I'll feel comfortable enough to take my kids to the pool!
The show is on for another 5 Sundays, I'm sure I'll watch it not with the same enthusiasm of this week...but I'll let you know if there is anything earth shattering!
On a sad note...we had zero lookers at our open house:( Someone has to look sometime right?

When the weather is nice I LOVE to take walks. During the winter months I get very lazy about working out at all. Now is the time of year that I am looking forward to getting back in shape.
Keep us informed of the show....sounds interesting!
Sorry about your open house. Don't get discouraged....the buyer is out there.
