Thanks for drawing our attention to that post. Compliments can be difficult to hear. Lovingkindness needs to start at home, to ourselves! Thank you for this blog, and your sign-posts to a more loving relationship with food.
* 1600 maximum calories a day ( the absolute minimum calorie intake for women is 1200) I’ve lost 64 lbs. in 6 months and I am still on 1600 calories. * eat 4-5 times a day - not less than 3 hrs apart and not more than 4 - don’t eat too little or less often - eating less is absolutely the way to go back to “die-ing.” * eat organic, fresh, frozen, canned in own juice - in that order of priority - putting processed and all additives at the bottom of the choice list * eat whole grains ONLY- walk away from, white sugar, white flour, non whole grain pasta, bread... * eat a MUFA (monounsaturated fats)at EVERY MEAL hint: things like nuts, avocado, dark chocolate, peanut butter... * include foods daily and often that are good for what ails you. i.e. blueberries and spinach for short term memory -1,000 minimum calcium, minimum 45 grams fiber... you design for yourself * pay attention to portions -learn the optimum amounts and if in doubt fudge on the side of your best interest. * make conscious choices, honor your body, mind and spirit’s need to be nourished and satisfied!
TRUST YOURSELF * 72 ounces of liquid a day - a water bottle that holds 24+ ounces and try to need to refill it 3-4 times a day+ 3-5 cups or glasses of green tea a day + iced whenever possible. * MOVE - everything counts and do what you enjoy * Breath - deep and often * ATTITUDE - is the most important, absolutely necessary factor in our success. I used meditation, visualization and affirmations. You define it for yourself.

LIVEit Affirmations
I am healthier everyday I am the most valuable person in my life It is an exceptional day - everything is going my way I am lighter and lighter everyday
I am 62 years old. I went on my first diet when I was 7. I have starved, slaved, become addicted, depressed, self-abusive, humiliated, shame-ridden, rejected, embarrassed, lost jobs and loves, been harassed on jobs, by significant others, family, passers by, doctors, nurses, fitness instructors, diet gurus...
Some years ago I stopped cold. I was satisfied to pay myself, my appearance, even my health, no attention beyond cleanliness, comfort and occasionally color matching. My goal was only to live, let live, be who I am and not spend one more minute berating myself or allowing myself to be berated or degraded for my physical appearance. Basically, I openly gave up.
In Feb 08 I began to Liveit
