Signing Off

Well, my faithful readers, I believe this is my last post. I have said everything I set out to say, and more. This whole thing is definitely a process, and I still have a big stack of books on my bedside table to read about these and related issues. Perhaps I will have some post scripts in the future, but for all intents and purposes, the I am writing today just to wrap things up.

I have enjoyed the journey of exploring all of these issues and writing this blog so much. I feel like I have some momentum, so I am wondering what will be next for me. I have thought of turning this work into a small book, or a workshop. Either one will require a better name, so please let me know if you have any suggestions!

I hope you have found something in this blog useful or inspirational or educational, and I am also wondering what is next for you. I would love to hear from you about both of these questions: what is next for me, what is next for you?

Please let me know if you’ve tried anything I’ve suggested, what’s been helpful, what hasn’t. I’m very curious about what works for others. I know for myself, the basic goal setting is key, however tedious. I know I need to go back and re-read the beginnings of my blog and follow my own advice. When I am really setting and tracking small and reasonable goals is when I see the most change. Some of those changes are permanent; some need maintenance. Just thinking “I should exercise and eat mindfully”

is not enough for me!

I’d also love to hear any other feedback and if you have any opinion about whether I should try this material in a different venue, and if so, what kind? What would be the most useful for the most people, do you think? Or should I just stop now and cut my losses?

Like I said, I have enjoyed writing this so much. The fact that ANYBODY read my blog at all is just such a bonus! I am very grateful to all of you who have spent some time at www.skinnymamasdontdiet.blogspot.com. Thank you for your time and interest, and may you carry on with mindfulness and motivation!
