Wel, I am still going strong. Mainly fruits, veggies, eggs, a little cheese. 3 pita chips again, steak for dinner. The urge to stress eat has not hit me and last night at work only 1 piece of chocolate candy and I savored it but did not want anymore. 

I believe that the morning and evening weight loss tapes have helped me. EFT is keeping me on track when I stress out. So far, so good! I actually feel as if I have more NRG today.

The back is better but not 100%. 

I have following San Diego hypnotist, Christian Wasinger for 3 years now. I have always been interested in hypnosis and I thought if ever I needed a session, he would be the man! 

Last week I finally decided to do something about my cravings for carbs. It was getting seriously out of control. You might ask: Why not use EFT on myself to help get this under control? Well, in some instances when you are too close to a situation it may not be effective. It may be beneficial to seek outside help. At any rate, I am glad that I did and this blog reflects my journey to wellness surrounding food. I will be using EFT, NLP and hypnosis to help me make better lifestyle choices...
Day 1
 Right after today's session, I felt the urge to drive immediately to the store and purchase cottage cheese, strawberries, apples, celery, carrots and meat for tomorrow’s dinner. When I got home, I thought about the crackers for a moment and then went on to eat celery, carrots, cottage cheese and strawberries. 

We went to a dinner party and I found that I could ONLY focus on eating carrots and cheese although there were crackers on the plate as well. I couldn’t believe it as this was the 1st time in a long time I passed on bread items.

I ate fish – which I don’t really like – salad a bit of Thai noodles. Although I felt as if I ate too much, I was very proud of myself. No bread... hmmmm. Very strange for me not to even want a little piece

Listened to the evening hypnosis tape and fell asleep. 

Day 2
I woke up after a peaceful night's sleep and listened to the morning tape. Upon rising, I drank 2 large glasses of water. I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes since I have a bruise on my foot and can’t run. I used a bit of EFT on the treadmill and I really enjoyed exercising which I have not felt motivated to do in a long time!

I ate a small portion of Rice Crispies. Pouring and eating them seemed weird to me. Also had a strawberry, cottage cheese, one cup of coffee with sugar, cream -- my standard.

For the 1st time I can remember, I wanted to eat at the table while I ate breakfast. I *put my spoon "down" in between meals and really enjoyed the food. I did *not read during breakfast but concentrated on the meal and the texture and taste… it was such a strange feeling but it felt right for me to do. (*This was all suggested under hypnosis but I only realized it when I started to act out this behavior.)

Going out to create a new necklace right now. I have a new line of jewelry in mind and I have not been motivated to create it. If feels good to have some control over what I am doing. 

Off to the studio...
