I wanted to post a copy of my first EDS post from when it was the Yahoo days..
Who knew how many posts would follow eh???
LOL...
Not really that interesting of a post, but just for posterity..
Tomorrow is our (Richie and myself's) two year anniversary here!!!
In the NoS spirit, I am taking it as an S day!!!!!
There will be some kind of nice treat involved!
I haven't weighed in this last week, due to going on that trip to Florida and, quite frankly, I overate at most meals.. So I'll "weight", heh heh, on that one!
Probably hit the scale in another week of good N days!
I am thrilled to be an active participant in this group and still, to this day, and even more than two years ago when I was blessed enough to find Reinhard's work of dieting and exercising genius, I am truly grateful!!!
Thanks all for your friendship and cameraderie during many ups and downs!
And especially to Reinhard,
Thank you very much!!!!!
Here's the post!
Wonder if this will work!
LOL...
Peace and Love,

Yes Mike : ) I also love the feeling I have right now of being able to make
good choices and eliminate that old eating on "unconscious" autopilot. I am
a massage therapist and the beauty of our bodies is that inherently they do
want to be healthy and give us many signs that things could be out of
balance. When we don't listen to our own signals, for example our stomachs
being full or maybe being in pain, possibly due to dragging our carcasses
around at a less than optimum weight, eventually we wind up hurting
ourselves, being depressed and just everything, well for a lack of a better
word, sucking!
Reinhard gave us a reminder to really respect ourselves and take care of
ourselves in a clear, empowering, simple and liberating way.
God gave us free will. No government, dark force, secret agency, can tell
us how to use it, especially in terms of our bodies. We must be respectful
and responsible for that ourselves.
When you really think about it, this is all about bringing consciousness and
choice into our lives.
When we stuff ourselves (and believe me I have been "putting it away" now
for a year and really wanted to end this "shovelling" and gorging but
couldn't face another "diet", and ps now can you believe that even Burger
King is spoofing that whole short fix diet industry in its commercials, you
know "Dr. Angus"....It's really a joke) we are totally not exhibiting free
will or choices....It is pure autopilot and just plain old bad habit. When
we really go with the things our bodies need and truly make an effort to
think before we "stuff" we are communicating with our inherent wisdom and
that can never steer you in a wrong direction. As a result we feel more
alive and in tune with the flow of life, instead of that "dead" feeling,
that depressed and totally apathetic feeling.
Nice to share feelings with you all and I welcome any inspirational thoughts
or anecdotes you may have
I will leave you with one nice idea I utilized years ago when going it alone
on diet #1. It is fully compatible with "No S" lifestyle, and I picked it
up from an audiotape by the then editor of Prevention Magazine, Mark
Brickman, I think....Here it is.
When you have a "setback" don't let it bring you down, instead
embrace it, welcome it, be proud of it...
Only people going somewhere have setbacks,
Successful people have setbacks,
Setbacks are for people on their way to a better place.
You will keep moving forward if you think of them that way, so don't guilt
yourself out if you have a setback along the way : )
Good luck to all and I am happy to be sharing this experience with you!
Peace,
