Ok I'm restarting "Thankful Thursdays" on the Happy Rehab Doc Facebook site! Come join us!!
For me, living in a state of gratitude does many things:
1) gets me out of my own head so I can be of better service to others
2) helps me to let go of any self pity party I was having for myself and makes me appreciate the good things in life that I miss
3) all of the above help me not to eat compulsively. Overeating and binge eating for me have nothing to do with food (as I shared here)--it is alllllllll emotional so by being thankful for what I have, I can't build resentments and I can't tell myself I "deserve" a treat.
I have found that living in gratitude has helped me lose weight more than almost any other major "dieting" technique I tried in the past!!
So join us today over on Facebook & share what you are grateful for this Thursday! Small things, big things...whatever you can share will inspire us all!
Thanks! :-) Dr. Cat
Oh my gosh! The blog has passed 15,000 page views and even more amazing (and humbling) is that my New Year's "Dear 268lb Me" post has been read by nearly 1,200 people. It is absolutely incredible to me that so many people would take the time to read what I write!!
I just posted this news on my Facebook status but I wanted to take the opportunity on the blog itself to thank each and every one of you for becoming such an important and powerful part of my journey! Thank you SO much for support!
Thank you all of you who have posted about my blog on your Facebook pages, on message boards, via email to your friends, and especially all my kind fellow bloggers who have complimented my blog in their posts thus bringing me new readers!! I've only been blogging for about 2 1/2 months now and the response has been so tremendous--loving, kind, supportive and SO inspiring for me. I do not feel alone in my journey to pain-free health and I can't wait to see what we can all do as we heal together!!
I feel so grateful to have been able to give service & to share honestly about my story--the good, the bad, the painful and lately, the astoundingly wonderful!
What an incredible gift. Thank you.
Thank you all for being here and joining the conversation!! The comments lately have been particularly exciting to receive and I love hearing from all of you!!!
Sincerely,
Dr. Cat
