Today I have begun a bit of a journey.
It’s a journey where I will at look an unhealthy relationship that has been a huge part of my life, in fact, it’s been there for pretty much as long as I can remember.
I’m hoping it will be ‘life’ changing.
I’m hoping it will be liberating.
I’m hoping I will learn stuff.
I’m hoping I will regain control.
I’m hoping I will begin to like not just who I will be, but also who I already am, wobbly bits and all.
It starts here.
I’ve read the book, and now myself and another blogger are beginning the e-course.
NB It’s not a diet, diets don’t work.
If I’m wrong I’ve lost nothing, but if I’m right then people need to hear more about two very special ladies.
I’ll tell you more soon, but for now I have homework to do, and a post about my food issues which I know won’t be easy to write, but which I won’t be tackling alone.
P.S. If you’ve not already done so, please read my friend the fantastic Rosie Scribble’s post, or indeed one of these other fabulous bloggers, Manic Mammy, Hot Cross Mum, Dad.ie, Mummy Maps, New Mummy, Bringing up Charlie, Cafe Bebe,Babyccino Blog who all attended the Pampers and UNICEF ‘Gift of Life Campaign’ launch and are now blogging to make a difference.

It’s exciting to be going on a non-diet! I’ve started my Beyond Chocolate ‘homework’. I’m even contemplating doing some cleaning. Anything to avoid writing that difficult first post about my relationship with food. I think I’ll write it tomorrow, or the next day x

Sandy me to. I’m out tonight so won’t be doing it today but this weekend it will happen. Gulp.
Lindy thanks. I’m excited but nervous, but it’s worth doing.
Catherine I’ll be over to read hon. We’re all going to be so fit by walk time.
Domestic Goddesque, that’s the thing, it’s not about giving stuff up but chasnging how you use it. From what I can tell there’s no ‘fail’, just positive reinforcement and taking away the guilt. Chocolate is definitely allowed.

Thanks for the mention, Jo. Good luck with Beyond Chocolate. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of the course. I’ve heard a lot about it.
