Courage to Change…

I spent 15 minutes in meditation today.  Fifteen minutes quiet and ready to receive in regard to OA.  Just fifteen minutes.  I’m committed to doing that for as long as possible.  I think that would be a good habit to cultivate.  

My goal is to train myself to think of food primarily as fuel.

I realized that “trying” to lose weight has become a hobby for me.  Interest in body shape and appearance has also become a past time.  I would like to stop this preoccupation with food and body image to shift to occupation with subjects that will equip me to do the work I have been called to do.

Subjects I would like to become occupied with include: Music, Language Mastery (French, Arabic, Korean), Cultural Theory, Economics, Science.  

Interestingly enough, I feel like this can probably best be accomplished by committing to a proven daily plan and routine with food, which will then free me to pursue these other interests.  

My Plan:

Physical:

• Atkins (Induction for the next 13 days, then moving to OWL)
• Write down all food intake
• Some form of exercise at least 3x a week (appx 60 mins x3) 

Spiritual:

• 15 minutes of meditation a day

Emotional

• at least 15 minutes food reflection/writing
• at least 15 minutes program work.
