Hi everyone!
Sure, I will share what jumped off the pages at me in chapter 1. I am sorry I missed last weeks posts. But am so glad you all have decided to start again!
I am one of those mark your book up kind of gals. I will never be able to give any of my books away, they become personal to me. I highlight, underline and make notes in the margin. So you might say I USE my books!
A lot of the stuff in this book is stuff I think we already know, but it is always good to hear it again. Someday we might just get it, huh?
Chapter 1 Highlights:
"The strategies you require must be yours and yours alone." This really stuck out for me, even though I knew it, because we as individuals are so vastly different. One eating plan may not work for one as well as another!
"Ninety-five percent of all people who lose weight gain it all back, with interest, within a few years." Now this got me thinking....NOT ME......but looking back over the years, that is so very true with my weight. (up down, up down)
"If you are ever to get started on the right path to change, there is one important precondition you have to meet. You must rid yourself of that gnawing and overpowering sense of urgency and panic tha always seems to appear on the scene, likek ants spoling the fun at a picnic, every time you decide to sose weight or otherwise get in shape." I have to remember that these pounds didn't find me over night. One day at a time on this one and it's a life change that's permanent.
Then in chapter 1 as we all know he summarizes all the 7 keys, which I am sure we will cover, chapter by chapter. The willpower section was pretty powerful for me as well. Never looked at it as an emotional charge, so to speak.
I am looking forward to discussing chapter 2 with everyone. Thank you for letting me hop in the discussion!
Take care.....God Bless!
