One of the first things you can do to prepare yourself for transition is to learn how to listen to your body. As you begin adding foods to your diet, take mental notes on how you feel. After a meal do you become anxious, satisfied, hungry, energized only to get drowsey, energized and a feeling of well being, happy, grumpy, etc...

These can all be signs on how our diet is affecting us. In today's fast food world, we've lost touch with the importance of our diet and how it can affect us. In many cultures mealtime is a spiritual event. Our hurry-up culture has turned it into a nuisance.

Even during the weight loss phase you can begin concentrating on how your body is feeling. Try to feel and visualize your body being restored with each meal. Feel the vitamins flowing through you and revitalizing you, the protein building new muscle.

It's true than one great benefit of losing weight is looking better, but by far the most important is regaining our health. It make us happier, healthier people able to add positive things to our family, friends and society.

This may seem a little "out there", but the more we pay attention to our bodies, the healthier we can become. After all, our bodies are our vehicle to the world and to succeed in any aspect in life, it's nice having a great vehicle to tour around in......
