Hi everyone! I've watched the first 3 episodes of Paul's show on TLC. I live in Western Canada and have been overweight since college. Ideally I'd like to lose 125 pounds but would just be really happy to not have to shop at the fat lady stores anymore.
I tried eating consciously for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't believe how little I actually ate when I paid attention! We had a dinner party and I only ate half of my steak, about 1/2 cup of roasted potatoes, one piece of baguette and a bowl of caesar salad. Normally I would've polished off the whole thing and gone back for more and eaten half the bread by myself!
Also, the motivation thing really works! I tried it the other day during the show and ended up turning the show off halfway through, cleaning up the kitchen, vacuuming, and going for a walk instead of watching the tv for hours! Paul, you're amazing!
