Non Scale Victory

Posted by Unknown on March 11, 2012 6 comments
Don't laugh at my non scale victory. For me, this is big! LOL! But don't laugh!!

I was sitting in church today and, (don't tell anyone) my mind was wandering (shhhhh) and I was noticing the ladies sitting around me. Young and old and they had their legs crossed.

I started an argument with myself in my mind (alright, I am sure I am not the only one who argues with themselves in their mind!!)

Can I? Should I try? What if I can't? Will I get discouraged? Will I look dumb if someone sees me try and I can't do it? What if I get stuck? (don't laugh)

I finally gave in and tried...

Guess what!!!

I CROSSED MY LEGS TODAY IN CHURCH!! and even better, I COULD UNCROSS THEM WITHOUT BEING A GYMNAST!!! so I will admit, for a few minutes in church I was crossing and uncrossing my legs and switching sides too! LOL. (ended up having to get a tape of the service to listen to at home, as my mind was occupied with other things) LOL.

    contratulations Linda. One more goal accomplished for you. I was excited the first time I realized my legs didnt rub together anymore when I would walk. These little milestones seem to make such a big deal in our lives. Take care.

    What a wonderful accomplishment. keep up the great work. Just wondering about refresher courses. Just finished the 3 sessions 2 weeks ago and got a call today already asking if I wanted to go to a refresher. Julie told us we would receive a call in about 5 - 6 weeks. I thought 2 weeks was a bit premature and said so, however, I was told that the "hypnosis would not last" and that most people need a refresher in order to continue their success. I assured her that for now I was doing exceptionally well and would call if I felt I needed a boost. She kept me on the phone over 25 minutes trying to sell me on the need for this refresher saying that the original sessions were just the foundation and that I would plateau if I did not go to the refresher. I told her that Julie had said that we need the plateaus to heal our body, but she went on and on with the hard sell. She even asked if I wanted to speak with the other woman in the office for more of an explanation why I should take the refresher. Pleeeeese!! As I stated to her, I am very grateful to Julie for all she has done for me and I am doing great on the plan. If I feel I need a refresher in the future, I will certainly call to schedule. But now I'm somewhat upset because she planted that seed in my head that I will fail without this refresher saying that the original sessions were just for foundation laying and that in order to succeed we needed refreshers. HELP!!! I know from reading these posts that some people feel they need a refresher and so don't. Has anyone else been solicited so agressively and now that its in my mind I hope I'm not programming myself to fail. I wish she never called me for I have been doing quite well and just eating my meat and veggies. When I told her that, she said that I would eventually gain weight and my cravings would return. I don't understand. Isn't that what we we told to do???? Anyone else receive one of these disturbing calls?

      Wow, my experience was not at all like that. At my 3rd session a clipboard was passed around and if you were interested in a refresher class in 3 or 4 weeks. We all signed it and i went in December. My first session was Sept 26th. So the refresher was around Dec 15th. Anyway, I enjoyed it because we all shared alot of info. It was $50 LESS than what i paid for the class itself. Anyway at that refresher I was offered another one in 3 to 4 months IF NEEDED. There was no convincing at any time of them insisting I go back. There was also only 1 girl who talked to me and she was the one who use to collect the money at the door. I bet they have a bigger staff now. Anyway, my second refresher class is next Wednesday (3 months after 1st refresher) and this will be it. I only need this blog now which I love. I feel I know this well enough and it does work great. We share so much on this blog. Anyway, my refresher class for next week went up $50 from the last one and that will be my final visit. Most of my friends who have been successful on this have only gone back once and that was it. Listen to your inner voice on what you should do. I will follow up with everyone after I go to the refresher next week.

    I finished my 3 courses in Nov. and signed the clipboard as Karen said. They called me in December but I said I didn't need one. Then in Jan. I felt I needed one, I just wasn't sure I was doing it right and got in less than a week later. And have been doing fine. I also, get alot from this blog. I signed the clipboard in Jan about having a refresher in April, but when they call, I will probably tell them I don't need one yet.

    I feel bad you had that experience, but like we told Jen in another topic, just forget about it. You have been doing good, you have been confident you are doing good so I am sure you are doing good.

    I have always dealt with Annette and have never been pressured with 'sales' calls, even when I call to check on some food I can or can not eat. Have always been treated with respect and humor.

    Just continue on and try to put that out of your mind. Can't imagine what happened there. They must have new people working. I have read she is moving offices and maybe whoever you talked to is new and who knows!!! Just put it out of your mind. All the info you gave her was correct, so it seems you are fine!!!

    Keep up the good work!! As Karen also stated, go with your inner feelings, you know how you are doing.

    Jen also wrote JUlie doesn't want us to become dependant on her.
