Planning Paid Off - But Here's AF!

So, it turns out that all that planning on the camping trip paid off. Although I appeared to gain .6 lbs when I returned from the trip, this last Sunday, I weighed in at -2.5 lbs. That means that in two weeks, I lost 2-1/2 lbs, which isn't bad when you throw a camping trip in there.

I haven't crunched the numbers, but I think this week is PMS week. If my hollow leg and craving for food that I don't usually miss at all is correct, then I'm burning those extra calories preparing for AF to show up. If that's not what it is, then I'm a little worried. But, seriously, I have other clues too, but that's not this blog...

So when I'm not feeling like THIS ^^,

I'm feeling like THIS ^^.

Turns out that Weight Watchers and my period (actually, just the PMS week that proceeds it) don't get along. At 28 points, I feel like I can't eat when I want to eat EVERYTHING in my house. I just wanna pig out and go nuts when this week comes along and at this new 28 points, I feel like if I eat another piece of fruit or one more carrot, I'm going to turn into a vegetable!

This is where I really rely on my hypnosis. If you aren't up to date with what I'm talking about, let me fill you in. I listen to self-hypnosis recordings on my iPod at night, especially when I'm having a hard week. I'll listen to them all week. I have a Weight Loss one, a Weight Loss Supplement (part 2, basically), a Fat Burning one, a Fitness one, and a Procrastination one. I listened to all of them wide awake to check them out and make sure they weren't wacky. 

 

I had a bad experience with hypnosis once - I paid $1000 to join a hypnosis program that used aversion tactics such as "imagine your favorite splurge food in your mind. Now bring it to your lips. Take a big bite or large drink of that amazing food or liquid. Now, as you feel it in your mouth, imagine it suddenly turning into maggots in your mouth. Spit it out. This food disgusts you. You find this food repulsive."

I didn't know the contents of the hypnosis tape (as it was a supplement to the live hypnosis) and was horrified at that technique. As a result of that experience, I was VERY critical of the ones I downloaded. The speaker has a soothing, well, hypnotic voice and I am extremely pleased with the content. I think it keeps you very much in control of your body. It encourages safe and consistent methods of healthy eating and exercise. 

If you're interested, here is the link to their website. After enjoying the free downloads, I DID donate to the site in order to have greater access to all of their downloads.
