.....Thanks for the Woohoo Dee :)
However, it will take as long as it takes.
I'm no fortune teller, and I don't care to make predictions on my 
rate of loss... Bad psychology... My blinders are on and all 
that "rushing stuff" is just an annoying blinker in my peripheral 

vision...What I *can* and always try to do, is to focus on the here 
and now.
I have lost weight before, and gained it back...
Three times to be precise...
I won't ever go back to that mindset, as seductive as it may be at 
times...
Never.

This time the real difference is I am changing me from the inside 
out. That's what counts and if it isn't fast, even better. Fast 
loss = eventual dissappointment somewhere down the line.... Usually 
it reverts into an even bigger gain than before.

..Nope, "ur" not allowed..sorry :) I'm sticking with "Turtles get 

there eventually" To say "Turtles get there *fast*" screws up the 

entire, Aesops style metaphor/classic wisdom of the ages, I was 
trying to achieve here, and is, I must say "oxymoronic" 
The whole point of my most recent posts, and the fundamental premise 
of the NoS system, is slow, permanent "Stick-to-it-ism"
Slow = quality
Fast = quick fix mentality = impatience...
Not a good recipe for permanent success...

Stick with SLOW folks. It works, don't be duped into rushing. It's 
bad psychology remember :)
The spirtual benefits are way greater and the pressure is way 
lower :)
Love,
Deb
