First post to the Provida Support Community:

I just ordered my Smart Technique CDs last night and as you can see, I'm posting here, literally, out of the blue.

Out of the blue.

That is precisely how this program drifted into my awareness. Two days ago, I was luxuriating in bed in that limbo between sleep and wakefulness, gauzily gazing out the window to admire the blueness of the Saturday morning sky.

Not much of a TV watcher -- and especially not on a Saturday morning when the programming's either cartoons or sportscasts ... and not much else, I am still in wonderment as to what motivated me to rudely interrupt my sweet reverie by clicking on the TV.

I literally groaned when I saw what was on the TV. Not a cartoon. Not a sportscast. What was on was exactly: "...and not much else." An infomercial.

But the congeniality of the two ladies who referred to themselves as The Mommies warmed me. I'd never heard of them (I am a Mommy of dog-kids), but their patter was lighthearted, animated and entertaining. They had a humdinger of a weight loss story to tell.

Grabbing a pen, I sat bolt upright in bed and on the back of an envelope, furiously wrote down: Smart Technique weight loss. A healthy skeptic, I then got online and googled the scribbled information.

Eventually, I found my way here and was happy to "hear" your real life experiences with the program. Thanks to your posts, I was inspired to go ahead and order my kit.

I think of myself as a positive thinker. Now, there is no doubt that I am a born optimist. I'm doing this in the middle of the holiday season?! Well, I may as well go full tilt and begin my journal -- online for all to see and help keep me accountable -- as a success story. A done deal.

And you know, I believe that my story, like yours, has all the earmarks of a success story. That I/we am/are finally doing something to consciously break my/our yo-yo pattern is a success in itself.

Cognizant of how powerful the subconscious is, I am so pleased to learn that there is this technology available. The prospect of cajoling Pili (my name for my subconscious) into healthier habits is exciting.

I look forward to many chapters of success stories.

Positively yours,
Out of the blue (ootb)
