Hi y'all! It's been a busy couple of days for me. I have been working on the site a heap so if you visit again you will notice a major addition...Namely, a Chat room where I will be endeavouring to be 'online' at 9pm EDT every Saturday Evening. Actually, I have been thinking a lot about my blog and how I can make it different, interesting, informative and so much MORE than just another blog site, for you all so I have decided to 'up the anti'....
As you all know, I have been very candid about my life and experiences to date and it was very important to me that I continue to do so, however, I think its time for us to go to the next level...and take it deeper. (hehehe...pity I am not actually saying THOSE words to a man!) I want you all to be a big part of my journey but more than that...My desire is that in knowing me you will have the opportunity to learn and grow with me. So, after a couple of wines to build up the courage...no just kidding (I haven't actually drunk anything in over a week now...quite an achievement for me...if you haven't noticed already!) I asked my Therapist/Weight Loss Coach if she would be prepared to continue our sessions in a more ah...'public' manner. To my surprise, she agreed! In the time that I have been communicating with her, I have really learned a heap and she has been a very important part of my growth...and weight loss.

I have learned that dieting is not just about weight loss, I also need to address the all important, paramount issues of self-image, self-acceptance and self-belief. It’s all about helping me love who I am, and understanding how my thought processes hugely influence my predisposition for either success or failure. This is critical for anybody who is on the downsizing journey. It is my, and my Therapist's, belief that once people really accept who they are; body, mind and soul, the downsizing journey will become easier and the victory, sweeter.
You see, it’s not simply a weight loss journey – it’s a positive change one embracing health, mindset and wellbeing aspects.
In Kellee's own words "From all of my experiences, I knew that the key to all of my weight issues were psychological. I understood that nutrition and exercise were like putting a cast on a broken arm that is not properly set; on the outside it looks as though it would be mended but inside it is not. No matter how many casts are put on the arm, unless it is set properly it will never mend.”
It is my hope that, by using my own personal journey, this site will tackle every topic and challenge you will face along the way. With no one emphasis on food or exercise. All aspects of the positive change process will be discussed in an open environment. I am convinced, that this holistic, down-to-earth and personal approach is the best way to help people achieve their weight loss goals and that is why I have asked Kellee, (a registered Psychologist, amongst other things, who's main concentration is weight loss) to come on board and be a part of my own journey in such a 'public' manner. I have published her profile

so feel free to take a peek.
With her being in Australia and I, in New Zealand our sessions have been necessarily trans-continental but it is actually working and now you can all share in the fun.
This is how it is going to work...she will a firm fixture in this site from now on...She will be commenting on my posts and giving direction, encouragement and argh....'homework' for me to do and report back to y'all ...feel free to take on what she advises and comment on your own experiences as well. I will also be organising a 'chat event' where her and I will be 'LIVE' to answer your questions and discuss weight, body image issues, or anything else related.
So, all in all, I am reinventing the wheel about what a 'blog' should be. Keep on staying tuned. I have a feeling its just going to get wilder and wilder...especially with 'Flabuless' at the helm. You never know what I am going to pull out of my butt next! hehehe
