A couple a months ago I came across and article in the paper about a course on the philosophy of weight. Afterwards I made contact with the coordinator and requested to join the next group. It was a lengthy process, with a detailed written request, followed by a one on one interview to see if I was a good candidate. Fortunately I made the cut, the
Course lasts for ten months and began just before Christmas. We meet once a week for two hours, with 12 women and each with our own story it makes for a very interesting evening. But I must admit it's going to be a great deal of hard work and much soul searching, but hopefully it will lead to some peace of mind once and for all. These first few sessions have been very difficult, as being open and sharing do not come easy for me. I like to pretend all is well and I have everything under control. Last year I stumbled into therapy; just by chance and strange enough it came just at a crucial time when I needed it most. Call it Karma or whatever but I find it funny how this
Course spoke to me right off the top and I just knew it was something I had to do, and again it comes at a time when I need it most. This is part of Resolution 2013 and "action kinder" learning self acceptance and finally affirming that I am worthy.

Looking forward to hearing all about it - sounds exciting! :)
Can you explain more about the course? Is it aimed at getting people to understand why they eat? Sort of like intuitive eating?
I have had trouble all of my life with having no control with food. Sure I could do a few weeks 'dieting' but then I learned the real cause, ie insulin spikes causing hunger to increase while depositing fat etc.
I've now been under total control since Sept 2011 - no binges, hunger... nothing. We are all told that we need willpower but the body cries out for food as soon as we go on a normal diet. I just wish more people could understand this instead of thinking of low carb as a fad. None of us are designed to consume many carbs - certainly not the amount we eat now.
Anyway, just my side of things :)
Opps.. I just noticed that you had a link to the course. Looks good, kind of intuitive eating that friends I know have done. Good luck with it.
I hope it helps you, it does sound good. Wish there was something like that here.
I look forward to hearing more about this. It takes so much courage to start facing uncomfortable and difficult things so well done on taking that first big step. I really hope it helps you! xx
