Re: good job; how it goes; how I did it

You probably have a point about the raw food thing, DesertLili. Between my really strong food aversions and what raw foods I could stand I'd have to had to eat all day long in order to feel like I'd eaten a sufficient amount (pesky pita body thing I'm sure), and so I never tried that.

I did try to stay away from really processed things like canned foods and doughnuts, but just eating most anything else always brought that weight back plus more. It's why I left the military actually. I couldn't keep my weight where they wanted it. Even after dealing with the emotional side of it, I never could get it to stay below a certain point. But I never gained more unless I tried to fast.

Another thing I'm discovering in my spiritual adventure is that this human body is like a 300,000 year old computer that hasn't even had a virus scan run on it that whole time. It has all the things wrong you'd expect, except the basic operating system can find work arounds for things that quit working.

Unfortunately, they're never as good as the original program so there are minor dysfunctions as a results. And the set point is one of those things. I've learned that those lucky folk who's health program is working moderately well tend to have lower set points, aka normal weights, but if you have significant error in your health program, your body raises the set point so that if you get sick as is more likely, just like old folks, you can survive longer without having to eat.

So the part of my weight issue I never got to budge was because my health program has some significant errors in it. Luckily, I've found that we do have a meta-program that runs diagnostics and can fix those sorts of things which I've used EFT to help get it running.

So I expect my weight will start dropping as that program finds and fixes the glitches in my health program. :) I only figured this out a couple days ago, so it's a bit soon yet, to see that drop.

And who knows what else? 300,000 years is a long time to run a computer, even a living one, with no maintenance.
