Dear Audrey and Sophie
I just want to say thank you for the support you offer with Beyond Chocolate.
This Christmas I have eaten very well, enjoyed mince pies, cheese, wine, Christmas cake, chocolates …
I have not felt overfull let alone stuffed and I haven’t beaten myself up once. And most of the time I wasn’t even aware of tuning in or of checking if I needed it. It seemed to happen naturally most of the time. I just stopped when I had had enough. Or felt easy saying no without then going home and bingeing because I’d missed out.
This is a complete first.
Even my dress – which I hadn’t worn for a while - felt a little looser. Only a tiny bit but hey! I haven’t weighed myself, I’m not planning on cutting down in the new year and I feel great.
Thank you.
I feel released from years and years and years of obsession, utter torment and self – loathing.
You do good stuff.
I wish you both a joyful and prosperous year ahead.
Best wishes,Grace
What a wonderful email. I feel exactly the same as Grace and have enjoyed the most relaxing Christmas/New Year for many years. I am so content and calm now. I think my personality has changed as a result of putting the BC principles in place. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to hear you both Grace and Jo. Thank you for sharing your excitement and pleasure with us. What an achievement and joy! Congratulations.

I also enjoyed Christmas food without a single thought of a New Year diet or any sort of diet at all. I definitely over-ate, but that was part of my plan - I intended to over-eat because of all the extra time and effort and expense that went into all the wonderful festive foods. However, like Grace, I didn't subject myself to any kind of back-lash in response to the over-eating. It happened, I enjoyed eating the foods and now it's over and I'm back to taking each day as it comes and still enjoying my food!
