It's working...without me even realising.

 I have nearlly finished the LightenUp program and while I have realised my goal, become more self-aware and have also changed my self talk.  I can honestly say that whilst I have been busy focusing on all of these things, I wasn't as focused/addicted to the scales.  I can't say I deliberately changed my eating or excerise patterns, but somewhere something must of shifted within me, cause without even realising it the scales have moved in a very positive direction.  By changing the way I think and becoming more self-aware I am no longer opening the pantry just to see if something different has happened to "pop up" since the last time I looked 5 mins ago and grabbing something without thinking if I am even hungry.  Thanks Lighten Up, you have changed me for the better.

 Hi Destiny - As the co-creator of LightenUp, your comments further confirm for us that what we are doing is worthwhile and making a difference to people's lives. I'm really excited for you and I can relate to what you've said!  I've been working through the program and have had similar shifts to you.  I managed to fit into a pair of trousers I haven't worn for more than 5 years.  I wasn't focused on trying to get into them again, I've just been living my life as normal (albeit more self-aware and more focused on making conscious food decisions) and as a result, I'm getting results!  It's a great feeling and gives that extra incentive to keep doing what I'm doing.
Thanks so much for your comments and it's absolutely brilliant that you've made changes for the better.

 This LightenUp program is awesome!  I have completed the 12 weeks and feel SO much better about myself even when I look in the mirror.  I am more relaxed and happy with who I am and I have lost weight along the way without paying attention to it.   The best change for me has been the mindfulness.  Now when I go to eat something I really stop and focus on how my stomach feels.  If I am really hungry I will eat something slowly paying attention to how much I chew, what it tastes like etc.  If I am not hungry I will have a drink of water or tea.  I am finding the mindfulness is rubbing off into all areas of my life and now when I am with the kids I am trying harder to be really present with them which means we all have more fun.  Thanks LightenUp!

 When I first read this forum before i started the program i was like "yeh sure - as if i'm not going to notice if it's all working or not!"  Well guess what?!  It's working, without me even realising!!  It's so true!  I went out last night and I hesitantly reached for a skirt I hadn't worn since very early last year.  I was thinking "please still fit!"  and it was actually loose on me!!  I couldn't believe it.  So yes, this stuff does work, without me really noticing.  But how cool is it when I do notice!!!
