It was easy to phase into, and easy to add on "principles" to, as well! 1. Get contemplative about your grumbling stomach. (Learn to tame the beast!) In the moment, consider the entire experience of "being hungry" - believe me, you really aren't as hungry as your stomach wants you to believe. It's just used to over-eating and being indulged. 2. After contemplating your grumbling stomach for a short while, drink lemon water or a non-sugared beverage with small sips. Enjoy being really consciously involved in relearning how to eat thoughtfully. YOU are in control, not your "garden of endless desires." 3. Graze on small portions of veggies and proteins - something to fill you but not pork you out. 4. Eat EVERYTHING with chopsticks or salad forks. 5. Eat EVERYTHING in very small portions. Get used to a grumbling stomach. You will tame it, despite its protestations. 6. Treat food with reverence - like diamonds. 7. Pretend you're on "Survivor" (actually, you ARE!). Pretend all you get to eat is a strip of tree bark. Then be glad for a small tasty carrot. 8. I used to eat a small container of 4-bean salad with chopsticks. It's amazing how far a couple of green beans and chick peas will go, when you're CONSCIOUSLY eating. 9. Make vegetable soups and stews - drink the broth with or without veggies. 10. Move as much as you can. Stretch: roll your neck, bend your back and feel the vertebrae crackle, do arm twirls, touch your toes. Walk, breathe. Feel the joy of your body systems! Put on music that inspires you to move and get away from your head for a while a couple of times a day. 11. Envision the great mandala and see where you fit - SEE yourself as you really are within it. 12. Consider this as a grand journey - which begins with the first step forward, and continues with the second step forward. 13. Involve yourself in the journey and refuse to feel "deprived". What has your indulgence gotten you, anyhow? Fat! Try things the other way! I lost 15 pounds a couple of years ago following the routine below.

I empathize with your weight battle. I've battled it all my life. You're obviously intelligent and introspective. Great qualities. Weight can be lost, good character can't be gained. I'm not trying to sound like a cliche', but it's true. The only advice I can offer is what people have said to me, "Don't be so hard on yourself." Easier said than done, I know. I've lost weight in the past by only slightly decreasing my food intake, so I don't feel deprived. I lost slowly, but kept it off for awhile. Best of luck. You're definitely not alone!!
