Tomorrow I finally get to start Part 3: DO. AKA The Virtuous Cycle.
Of course, I’m already doing a lot and THOROUGHLY enjoying it, but I’ll take all the good help I can get.

While I will probably finish this before the end of March, I will have to reread it multiple times this year.

Reading about success stats for losing weight, I’m glad that I don’t have to lose a lot. My goal is to lose 12lbs, or about 7% of my body weight. 1 lb/wk means my target date is June 15th.

Just finished Section 1 and have already learned a lot. Now to Section 2: Preparing myself to make more changes for the better.

Fell does a great job of explaining all the factors involved in WHY we want to eat more than we should. Knowing this will help resist and remove temptation. Losing weight is a skill, not just willpower.

I’m reading this, b/c I am losing 12 lbs of fat over the course of the next 3 months.

This is a very good yet difficult book. Dennett breaks it down into small chunks, which can be read as quickly, slowly, & as often as needed to understand. Some material is familiar, some is brand new, & some of it hurts my head..
