I have to tell you writing here, on MFD and with pen and paper in my journal (really just a big Mead spiral notebook) helped me unclutter my brain enough to realize FEAR has been the huge inhibition to my weight loss. Fear that I couldn't do it. Well - I stayed on OPTIFAST for six months. There's not much I can't do! Including turning around this weight gain.<br /><br />Splurge - thanks for dropping by. Somewhere on here is a long post I made about how it felt as I got close to goal I lost quite a bit of weight very quickly with the help of OPTIFAST and I wasn't mentally or emotionally prepared for the 'real world' when I came off that eating plan. I sought some help and part of the advice as to look at how far I've come. I'm returning to that advice so that I can remember what I have done, acknowledge the changes I've made and use the knowledge that I've already achieved so much to overcome the residual fears I've been harboring.<br /><br />There's also another post on here about Old Maura/New Maura and the food choices. The differences are amazing and I'm so grateful I started this journey.-Maurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347904320260812290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611609190273083404.post-73101289195051425622009-11-08T08:42:21.802-05:002009-11-08T08:42:21.802-05:00I'm new and catching up.

Many bloggers sound so defeated. <br /><br />"The Old Maura would complain about clothing not fitting right while cramming a honey bun in her mouth." <br /><br />There are a thousand versions of that.Sevenbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408190872701308055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611609190273083404.post-4556602880011174882009-11-07T10:48:34.333-05:002009-11-07T10:48:34.333-05:00Wow - what a wonderful breakthrough you have had t...Wow - what a wonderful breakthrough you have had today Maura!
