Realizations

Well it’s been a few days since my last post. It’s Monday to be exact. I made it through the weekend. And over the past few days I’ve come to a few realizations. I can do this! I am filling my mind with positive self talk. I won’t allow myself to say “I can’t do this.” I feel a positive energy this time. I am a tenacious person. I am stubborn to a fault. I decided it’s about time to use that stubbornness to benefit ME. I don’t want to cheat, I don’t want to fail. I can visualize my 40th birthday; I can visualize hitting the town and looking great. I asked my husband it I could get a breast lift when I get to my goal weight. I have always thought I wasn’t worth the money. But now I know I am worth it and I know I’m going to get it.

I read in someone’s weight loss blog about something called the Beck Diet something in or other…maybe Solution. First let me thank her for being instrumental in getting me motivated to consider this. So back to Beck-I know almost nothing about this product, but briefly looking at the book on Amazon, it appears to teach a new way of thinking, thinking like a thin person. I certainly need this! I have always been the fat girl. And apparently if you have always been “fat” you develop a different way of thinking. Without going into specifics I know this is true. I am excited to do some mental work and I’ll post more when I actually receive the book.
Until then I’m working on one exercise form the book-something along the lines of writing down al the reasons you want to lose weight and then reading the list often to stay motivated. I think it’s a great idea and I’ll post my list when I complete.
