I am feeling full of food! I am also feeling joyous. I lost 1.5 kilos this week, which takes me down to 72.4 which means this year I will move out of being overweight to the top of my normal BMI of 70 kilos. I never lose more than a couple of hundred grams per week. I am a total turtle weight loss person but I sure can put a couple of kilos back on in a week so easily. I can put on 5 kilos in a week from anxiety eating! As a stress/comfort/selfsoothing/boredom eater it was a huge success to move from being obese to overweight but I am going to finally make it to 70 kilos which means I will be just within my BMI. I will no longer be overweight. I will be in a normal weight range. I can feel now when I have had enough food to eat. I could never feel that before. So that is a huge change in mindset and understanding my body. I am actually feeling my body now. I have never really felt my body before, except through stress and pain. So all the exercise to learn to connect to my body has paid off as well as the Alexander Technique, Mindfulness, working on David Burns' distorted thinking, reading the anxiety book, and the other million strategies that I have tried.

My whole self talk changed this week, so I went from constant comfort eating to constantly saying supportive and caring things for myself! I changed my self talk and after years of practising self compassion and positive self talk it is actually working now. So that would be why I lost the weight as I wasn't comfort eating/grazing all day to self medicate myself. I am no longer self medicating with food to get through the day!
