Last night in the chat, YLD, we were doing book study, and we were looking at this paragraph (page 35)
The key to success with this program in Your Last Diet! is to go slowly. Going slowly is not generally one of the strong suits of the sugar sensitive personality. You want to do it all and you want to do it now! This is why you have needed a new diet plan every month. But going fast wont work with thisplan. For Your Last Diet! to work, you have to create change at the pace that your body can deal with and accept at its cellular level
Reminded me of how much I love YLD. I'd recommend it to anyone - if you have never been an ounce overweight in your life, its still full of steps info and discussion that is relevant to us all.
Anyway,
Going slowly is not generally one of the strong suits of the sugar sensitive personality.
I love this acknowledgement I always did, and sometimes still do like to approach things at a hundred miles an hour.... this reminder helps me to look at myself, smile, and be a bit more mindful.
I remember that in the beginning I was in a hurry to get to step 7. I ticked all the boxes and didnt realise that living and experiencing the steps was powerful healing for me.
My experience was that I thought going slow meant I had to sit on step one for ages. I thought it would take too long time wise and I was Impatient!
That was not the case though Going slow in the end meant I had to learn a thing or two... how not to rush, how to listen ( in many ways) to communicate, be aware, take my time, just experience lots of things and not just the mechanics of ticking that box off as 'Done'

I loved that part, made sense to me. I dont think it did in the beginning . I just couldnt get my head round it. My head was off trying to think step 7 things But it is making sense now about my body catching up with the rest of me ...
Can you tell I love meeting up at chat?
I really wanted to share that paragraph!
