Hi folks:
I found this book at thrift store and am finding a lot of helpful info. It's written by Daniel S Kirschenbaum, PhD; published in 2000. He quotes the National Registry and uses many examples of the successful maintainers statistics throughout the first 3 chapters I've read.
I'm reading his chapter on "stages of change" right now, and am finding much comfort. Seems I've gone thru his stages honeymoon and frustration and I am passing into the acceptance stage - that this will indeed become a lifelong venture, and I will make it through my backslide episode. He has examples of others that have developed some of the same thoughts that I have found myself thinking the last month or so as I'm heading back to goal.
This quote is exactly where I find my thoughts drifting lately.... " You essentially have a peaceful sense of resolve about your body and what it requires to succeed in this incredibly challenging task."
Just wondering if anyone else has read this book, and if they found encouragement like I have..... Allie
