Yesterday I was thinking how, if this hypnosis does assist my goals and actually help me untangle the roots of overeating and/or emotional eating, it will support the idea that it's not what you eat but why you eat. Though I'm also far beyond my younger days when I could eat junky foods and feel fine. My tendency was often to overeat the healthier food. As if to fill myself with health! But still, I would love to bring peace to those old feelings of unworthiness, many which I'm sure have their roots in really rather trivial events.
I also want to have some sort of yardstick to measure my progress here. I don't own a scale and don't want to have one, but I do think it would be good to measure the physical changes in my body. Since doctors (here in Canada, at least) are leaning toward measuring waist sizes as a determination of acceptable body size, I might go with that. I've heard a few guidelines: one general one is that one's waist size should not exceed 34". I heard another one that stated 34" for men, and 32" for women. And yet another one that said, never let your waist become more than half your height in inches. I am 68" tall, so, coincidentally, my waist should never be more than 34".
Because the internet is forever, I may use other units representing centimeters or inches to chart the changes. Or simply describe how my clothing is becoming loser.
The common body changes that come with my age plus a stomach/esophagus condition I have definitely make for some uncomfortable abdominal bloating. Ask me how much I would like to see that go away!
