Finally!

The food plan has arrived! What a strange courier service. It took a week for it to arrive from Kuching. So now that it's here, what do I do? I've started reading the file and collecting questions to ask Mio Ting what I can, can't do, should do, shouldn't do, do a lot of etc.

There's the front cover of this file which I would like to share -

3. Personalised exercise plan

Inside the file is also a measuring tape and a DVD "The Ultimate Weightloss Seminar" and "12 Minutes Activity Program"

I need to do some shopping! Without getting into too much detail here, I will now buy 

1. a digital scale to weigh my food

2. a digital scale to weigh myself and

3. food that fits the eating plan

So I watched the DVD. Some parts interest me and some did not. I listened with great interest to Annie Barki a psychologist who lost 18kg being on the programme and she brought up some great points. Most of the time, it's not all about the food! It's about our minds the programming we've gone through (like we must finish everything on our plates) and that most of us are uncomfortable about looking fantastic for various reasons. The biggest challenge to our success is FEAR. The fear of failure is one but also it's the fear of being responsible because once the weight begins to come off, we are now responsible, we now have to make choices and to always stay in control since we got ourselves there. No more binging and hiding behind our weight to allow us to make unhealthy choices what goes into our mouths.

After reading my file, I kind of have lost my appetite and it got me thinking deeply about myself. I liked it when she said, "it's not about acting seriously but seriously acting." The success of any programme is the ability to take ACTION. And mom reminded me again, "If you don't follow this, I will pull your hair!" Scary! I love my hair!

So now, the journey begins. I will be making preparations over the weekend and then off we go! More details to follow as I progress.
