TwoStepsBack 15 Posted September 25, 2010 Hey Guys I'm now just over two weeks and I have the following points to note: I'm down two sizes already! I went for lunch today and was totally satisfied on about a quarter of a starter portion of prawns and avocado! I'm all of a sudden interested in clothes and shoes again! I've started to wear lipstick again! My spots are clearing up! I splashed out on some posh body firming moisturiser! I no longer have a nap during the day whenever I can! I'm smiling more! And the biggest and most wonderful change of all - I feel at peace :biggrin0: I no longer feel like I am constantly fighting against my urges and cravings. I don't feel like my body and my brain are having a tug of war. I no longer feel angry and bitter about my weight. I feel wonderful! :thumbup::001_wub::biggrin0::lol0::thumbup: Hooray for the sleeve! I hope some of you share the same happiness now or with time. xxxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwoStepsBack 15 Posted September 29, 2010 I had another great moment today!! The guys in my office do a weekly run to the bakery on the corner. In the past I have always accepted a cake, eaten it, then felt guilty for the rest of the day, OR I would have tried to be good and said "no thanks", then sulked for the rest of the day because I felt deprived. However, today was the first time EVER that I said "nothing for me thanks" and actually meant it! I didn't want anything, and didn't feel angry and bitter watching everyone eating theirs when they arrived. This tool is such a blessing. I hope I never take it for granted.
