30 DAY GAMERS' INSIGHTS

The 11 Day Game and the 30 Day Game both have their own

ADVANTAGES.

One of the unique experiences in the 30 Day Game is that the individual player

has to be consistent

for a whole month.

Research has shown in study after study that it takes

30 days

of CONSISTENT

ACTION

for the brain to adopt a new habit.

I LOVE ISAGENIX

not just because it 

FUELS THE BODY

not just because

I HAVE LOST THE BURDENSOME WEIGHT

not just because

IT'S THE BEST FAST FOOD ON THE PLANET,

but because it

LIBERATED ME

from my 

THOUGHTS

BELIEFS

and ACTIONS

that were killing me

physically and emotionally.

IT BROUGHT ME RAW AWARENESS OF MY DISTORTED RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BODY AND WITH FOOD.

Here are some of the insights from our current 

30 DAY GAMERS!

 "I have learned a lot while playing this game.  For example, if I let myself slip at all, I mentally want to write off the day as a total loss.  I turn to food in boredom, but I also have places I go where I pick (my mom's house).   

My self-control stinks, as I've lost self-control, I've lost self-confidence.  

I've been told all my life I was fat and I shouldn't eat this or that, I've let it control me.  By eating what I want I feel like I had "control" but really I was letting the food and my choice to overeat control me.  I don't do anything that I enjoy anymore, I hate being in front of people because I'm constantly worried about how I look, I don't like eating with people because I'm afraid they are judging me.  My life has been in a standstill for too long, I'm working with all my might to overcome the mental roadblocks I've created in my head and get back my self-confidence.  I'm tired of hating the way I treat my body,

"I didn't realize how much I was previously snacking too late at night."

"I've learned that I'm used to eating ALL OF THE TIME. I never realized how often I ate, until I put myself on the schedule that we follow for the game, limiting how much I eat, too. It's been a huge eye opener. I never could understand why I am as heavy as I am. I feel like I generally don't "overeat" (during one sitting), and that the quality of my food isn't all that bad. It's "normal". Or so I thought. So, to organize what I've learned, here's a list:

- I ate way too often
- The quality of my food was HORRIBLE
- I drank way too much refined sugar.
- I don't need soda to get through a day

- I ABSOLUTELY associate food with entertainment. Everything I enjoy doing (playing games with family, Girl's Night out, Date night, catching up with old friends, a night in with my hubby)...when I do these things now, I have MASSIVE disappointment because I can no longer eat my favorite foods while doing these things, I always thought it was the activities I enjoyed - well, I've come to find that the activities aren't nearly as "exciting" and "comforting" as I thought they were, without my foods. It's been an adjustment learning to appreciate doing things WITHOUT food as a part of the enjoyment. This has been my BIGGEST challenge.
- I ate way too late. I love staying up after my husband and daughter go to bed. It's my only "me" time. I catch up on my mommy tv shows, or I blog, etc. I used to do this while snacking the night away. Never "filling up", so I didn't think I was doing much harm. What a joke! It still surprises me how much I used to eat in one day! Now, when I eat my one meal on shake days, I find myself feeling guilty when I feel like I've over-indulged and ate more than I should. Where was that little voice of guilt when I was over indulging all day long every day?

My relationship with my body is slooooowly changing. But I will take every change I can get! For the first time in YEARS, I caught myself looking in the mirror and thought, "Wow, you have such nice lips." 

Without fail, whenever I've looked in the mirror (in past times) all I see are the flaws. Nothing good. Everything wrong. As I know that things are changing, and the INCHES ARE LEAVING, I'm finding a small positive self awareness that wasn't there before. For now, I may only notice that I have pretty lips. But if I can see THAT, then I know that things will certainly come back to me one by one. One day, I hope to love all of me again. For now, I'll take my lips. :) I do treat myself better though, now. When I don't want to get up and work out, I DO IT ANYWAY, because I know that I won't get the body that I need myself to have by sitting on the couch and not working out.

Water is gooooooood. It's always a chore in the beginning. But, as I cleanse, my body just appreciates the water and can't get enough. I appreciate my body's DESIRE for water, and that it doesn't want the sodas and juices that it would normally prefer."

"One of the things I set out to do with this 30 day challenge.  Starting a new habit, keeping a food and workout log.  I worked out with my trainer today and he was so impressed to see my log.  It really helps me to keep on track and targeting my goals.  Looking at those goals that I wrote down in the begining have really helped me keep my focus on what im trying to acheive.
the TRANSFORMATION has begun, and my goals are in reach. "
