Oprah, still dieting, still regaining

So Jean, you said in one of the books that if you’re thinking about food, that might be a clue that you need to eat.  For me, a “1” is when the thought of food pops into my head.  (Followed shortly by the realization that I haven’t thought of food in a couple of hours!  Cool!)

So you’re saying that’s the very best time to eat?

I have noticed that once I get passed about a 2-3 I go from sort of hungry to FEED ME OR DIE!!! pretty fast.

annual,

Yes, that’s right.  When I get the first “notice” from my body that I need food, I stand up and get some.  This is a one signal.  If you get weak or feeling desperate or shaky, you went too long.  DO NOT WAIT to eat when you feel the first pangs of hunger.  It’s a bad habit to break, this waiting until you are REALLY HUNGRY, but you have to do it if you’re going to recover.

Ela,
I would definitely be interested in a conference call support group.  Sometimes talking things out, or referencing the books as a group can really be beneficial.  Let me know how I can help.

Kelcy,
The tip about what number-level of hunger I am on really helped.  It reminded me of the pain scale nurses often ask.

That is great, MUNCH!  All we have to do is come up with a day and a time.  As I said, I already have the number available 24/7.  Once we come up with a time to meet, we just have to call in and read and share with one another.  Are there times on Thursdays or Fridays that are good for you?  Those are my usual days off from work.  I am on CA time.  Looking forward to setting something up so that we can get together on a call!

Hi Ela,
Most Fridays I work from home so that would work best for me.  Would you like to connect this Friday sometime for whomever is available and we can discuss a few logistics?  I know Jean is not available for a few weeks, but perhaps we can get the ball rolling and in place so she can join us at a later date.

I’m on Mountain time.  How would 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time work on Fridays?  Or at least for this initial meeting until we decide what works best for most folks.

That is great, MUNCH! 

11 am Pacific time works great for me this Friday as our kick-off call and see where to go from there.  Here’s the number:    712-432-3900.  Follow the recorded instructions, and when asked to do so, dial the access code which is:  754337#.  I can be on-line here at the forum in case there is any problem with your getting through. 

I am just delighted that this idea for a conference call is moving forward and that Jean is supportive of it and that you are ready to join me this week.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
