Let's try this

When I first started blogging I came across this blog from a girl in the UK who was starting a blog as well and a diet of some sort.... I read her blog entries regularly and her diet thing was interesting as well. So I looked into it and ordered the book (actually I coudn't find it so hubby did and ordered it for me!): "The No Diet Diet - Do Something Different".

I've been reading it and basically what the professors are saying that we are creatures of habits and our weight is directly links to our habits, not just what we eat. The theory is interesting and makes sense to me. The program is split in 5 parts. The firts 4 are to break the habits (the how we do things, how we behave and the way we think). The last part embeds habits-breaking into our daily life. All this without focusing on food.

I totally think that we are set in our habits, we build them over the years are some are harder to break than others. We have what they call "habitweb", so if we change our habitweb and break old habits we will feel better and lose weight in the process.

What do I have to lose, besides a few pounds?! I'll use my blog to keep track of my tasks (because we have daily tasks, simple things). And let's see what happens!
