THIN WITHIN JOURNAL
This page will be a journal of sorts regarding the Thin Within healthy eating plan. I started out with a Penzu journal/diary but it just wasn't doing what I wanted so got really frustrated then I remembered blogging a long time ago. When I clicked on blogger dot com up came a notice for this one. HA. Since TW is God based it'll fit. I'm just going to transfer the first Penzu entries and continue from there.

Thinwithin Lessons
Having rejoined a week ago it's time to get started again with a biblical based health program. It's Sunday beginning of the month so best day correct. Hmm doesn't appear to be emoticon happy. DARN. It's been at least a year since using this app need to figure it out again.
Weightloss - since last making a note I have lost 50 pounds, down from a high of 311. Today I am 260. I am using a treadmill at 2 for 7 1/2 minutes once a day. Thinwithin doesn't follow a particular menu, rather it goes by hunger signs. This is good and bad for me. My diabetes is out of control so I know I must cut down on carbs but not the whole way. I have to learn to trust God and choose accordingly. Grr it's difficult to type by stylus but hand writing is definately out of my control these days. I am also going to start a closer to God coarse with this same group as I've dropped a long way from Him in the past 10 years. I have totally neglected myself in the past 3 years due to a stroke that I obviously survived but unhappily as I really can't think of a reason to live but I guuess God has one.
I have to use my Outlook email with this group . It's so frustrating trying to sync and respond and figure out what will work and what won't. Facebook is impossible. JumpStart thinwithinacademy.com/jumpstart/index this is the eating healthy start.
Ok so spent most of yesterday on outlook. For some reason they blocked it and it was absolutely impossible to unblock. Got my cheerful mail back so going to use it for thinwithin i hope. Last night I wondered if that phone typewriter would work with this tablet. I think its for iphone stuff though. Also I definitely need to change chairs part of my shoulder pain is from sinking down and having to raise my arms to get them on the chairarms.
Later.
Grrrrr the mail.com isn't working but I got the gmail to work. Somewhat. Outlook is being weird doesnt receive but opens.
After 3 hours trying to correct mail, to heck with problems -- now for the course.
INTRODUCTION
Remember that failing is part of learning and there is no need to have a "last meal" on this program.
No problem I've been semi following this for over a year already and lost 50 pounds.
WEEK 1, DAY 1
Make a Clean Break
To Do:
Box up diet/food/exercise/ books, videos, journals, logs, diet foods, diet drinks, etc.
Refuse to add more to what we call "Research Brain" by resisting clicking on any tempting dieting site advertisement, diet book synopsis, or link.
‐-------
Done. But I hate to throw out books, that was sacriligious in my family.

Day 2
Get acquainted with Physical Hunger.
To Do:
Continue with the challenge from Day 1.
Wait for physical hunger today. The stomach is high in the body near the syternum not in the gut. That's the intestines.
To Journal:
Describe your physical hunger. Feel free to add to your description over the next 30 days.
How many times did you get hungry today?
Hunger for me past the growlly stage means sweating and dizzy because of diabetic symptoms. As for eating just because, well that's my main downfall - emotions

Day 3
Heart Check..
To Do:
Continue with the challenge from Day 1.
Continue to wait for physical hunger today.
When you think of food before you are hungry, redirect your attention and busy yourself with something else.
To Journal:
What foods nourish and bless you, bringing a smile to your face and heart? We encourage you to be as honest as you can about this and resist giving what you think should be the right answer.
Sweet chocolate especially white, I really dislike dark and semisweet. Crunchy foods and bread but not muffins and cake more like bagels. Flavourful hamburgers.

Day 4
Dispelling the MYTH
To Do:
Go online and look for images by typing in your favorite search engine: "Location of Human Stomach." Browse some of the diagrams. How is the location of the stomach pouch different than you thought?
Be especially conscious today about letting yourself get hungry EACH time you eat.
To Journal:
What does physical hunger feel like to you? Describe it.
Hunger to me is a faintness nausea feeling.
What are some of the thoughts and emotions that come up as you allow yourself to become physically hungry?
Gosh I feel weird.

Be especially conscious today about letting yourself get hungry EACH time you eat.
I get up at noon and only having one bagel then means I am having difficulty getting through to supper so am not really hungry at supper.
