Allow me to feel reflective for a moment, even philosophical if you will. I have five minutes to myself as only the dirty floor and laundry await me at the moment, and I am feeling mystical....in part because I am not rushing out the door to run an errand and in part because I had a large poop. (tee hee!).
There is truly something fabulous about feeling skinny, about walking into your closet and not dreading the hunt for something to wear. Not feeling self-conscious out for dinner with friends; that your flab is making it difficult to see the plate in front of you. It is exhilarating to exercise and not feel like you are going to teeter over with a heart attack. There is great joy in not having your boobs get squished flatish by every jacket or blouse you own. I want all this....I need all this. Why didn't I start this diet sooner?! (Okay, it just came out in January). But Tim says, there really is a magical moment when one has to say 'enough is enough'. The desire for those things has to be stronger then the desire for the next inappropriate food you put in your mouth. Tim calls this the '' Harajuku moment''. When you ''decide to become a complete and whole person''. Oddly enough, I must have missed mine. I just looked at the book, thought it looked interesting, (especially the chapter on 'the 15 minute Female Orgasm', but that is for another blog all together, especially if I have had a glass of wine or four); and I purchased it. Really wasn't looking for a diet, but knew that I had to lose weight.
So maybe we don't always need to have the big moment; maybe changes don't have to be gigantic, maybe our long practiced behaviors slowly slip away as awareness creeps in.
Or, maybe, I just had a really big poo.
