I didn't want the class to end . . .

I signed up for the Ditch-Diets-Live-Light program, because I have lost weight on diets many times, but have always gained back the weight . I'm not a lazy person and have enough determination to be a success in other aspects of my life, so I knew I was missing some critical piece of the puzzle. The course description sounded like I might discover a new direction . . . and I did.

Now that I've completed the 8-week program, I have a much better perspective on what's going on with me and my weight loss challenges. Cari provides a wealth of information to help you figure out your own path. Some of the key learnings for me were:

1) the importance of conscious eating -- to savor what we eat;

2) the different types of hunger -- that sometimes what we mistake for hunger is actually thirst or a need to "soothe" ourselves, rather than actual hunger for food;

3) clues to my personal history of issues with weight, which will (I hope) lead me to eventually create new habits that will lead me to a healthier body.

The class was well-presented, informative, memorable and fun. Cari's joyful approach to life is infectious and what I learned in her class may very well change my life. I didn't want the class to end.
