Weightloss: The Ultimate Observer

Hi everyone, My name is Rosy. I am heavily overweight and have many health issue arising from that. About 3 month ago I had the chance to start working with MindWatch. I received this watch with a short tale from ancient India.

Once there was a teacher with a group of students. One day this spiritual teacher called them and said they had to each steel something. The only rule was that NO ONE was to see them. The students bewildered and confused left to fulfil the task. When they returned in the evening the teacher asked about their accomplishments. All students has something like a fruit of flower. Only one student came back with nothing. When the teacher asked why he had failed he replied. It is not possible to steel without being seen, because I was observing myself. I am the Ultimate Observer. . . . . . .

When I started to work with MindWatch I was excited about the design. Based on the Story I called it the “Ultimate Observer”. After about a week I called it “Bad Conscious Watch”. And after another few days I was tempted to throw this thing out of the window. This watch generally beeped when I was about to stuff something into my mouth or still had my mouth full. I became paranoid that the watch was observing me when I packed a few sweets into my pockets.

Then I became tricky and waited short after the beep to have my treats but then this stupid story popped into my head. It felt as if I had to fight all inner devils at once. Being caught from the watch and caught by my conscious self.

Then slowly it daunt on me that it was not the watch calling for attention when I was eating, but that the watch had no chance to catch me at any other time.

I do not know why, and I certainly cannot diagnose how I got to a point where I had so little control over my eating habits. These habits are so deep that I do not conquer them each time the watch reminds me, but it has certainly changed my outlook into the future. I have also decided that when falling pay to my addiction, I give myself a conscious and clear permission to enjoy what I do.

The doctor said it was the best thing that could have come into my life and so far I am almost 10kg (9.25) down.

I am looking forward to working with some of you in the Australian MindWatch Team. I will be joining and hope to meet some big girls like me, so that we can show those big American or Canadian girls how determined we are.
