It's not what we do once in a while
that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently. Anthony Robbins
You’re AMAZING! Did you know that?
Yes YOU ARE GORGEOUS, absolutely
stunning.
I’ve never met anyone quite like you!
Do you believe me? Do you realise I’m talking to you, or did you
assume it was aimed at someone else.
I feel so blessed to be surrounded by
such awesome people day in, day out and it never ceases to amaze me that they
don’t see the beauty in themselves that I see.
So please go look in the mirror and see what I see because you are just
fabulous. Life really is too short to be
unhappy with yourself, learn to love the skin you’re in right now. That way your body and mind will be more
likely to help you get to where you’d like to be physically and emotionally
because they are both intrinsically linked, if you feel miserable about your
image and berate yourself then you’re highly unlikely to take care of yourself
with the food you choose to put into your body.
Yes I am trying to get back to my goal
at the moment because I’ve been enjoying life a little too much of late but I’m
not giving myself a hard time about it and I still look in the mirror and love
the girl staring back at me even if she is an inch bigger round her waist, hips
and thighs than she is when she’s at goal, all it means is there’s 3 inches and
9lb more of me to love at the moment.
Luckily it’s a healthy 9lb because I’ve got active so I can now run for 3-5
mile where as in the past before Weight Watchers when I’ve lost weight, I
wouldn’t have the energy to walk to the end of the street because I’d be living
on lettuce leaves and ryvita to get results.
If I had to make a choice I’d rather
be a happy healthy fit size 12/14 who enjoys a night out and partaking of the
odd pint, than a unhappy, hungry, lazy size ten which I was before, back then I
didn’t think I needed to exercise as I was thin already! In the past I wouldn’t eat a fresh cream cake
because I feared it making me fat, now I may have one on occasion because
they’re scrumptious and it would make me smile but I wouldn’t want to eat one
everyday because I know it wouldn’t be good for my health.
If you’ve been in my meetings this
week you know we’ve talked about not being a diet dinosaur and living on ‘diet’
food, with the belief that you will lose weight so that at some time in the
future you can eat normally again, because that mentality will lea to you gaining
it all back. NO, instead eat sensibly,
still include the foods you love and lose weight at a sensible pace. We’ve been thinking about our top ten
food/drink and working out how we can include them in our week, my top three so
far are fried eggs, red wine, lager! I
keep getting stuck at lager cos I just want to drink lots of that whilst the
suns shining, but I won’t because I know partaking of too much of it, too often
isn’t good for my health let alone my waistband.
Everything in moderation is the answer
- except for the self-love you can never have too much of that ;-)
Ooo number 4 has to be blue cheese –
Saint Agur to be precise, mmm.
Number five mmm that’s my mates home
made chips, but they have to be with bread and butter and ketchup.
Now I need to think about the other 5
things on that list, I just love food/drink, how do you choose just 10
favourites, I think it may be impossible; it would change on a daily basis!
Ooo Pizza, number six possibly.
So who’s up for being a Happy Owl
(Over Weight Lady/Lad) http://www.happyowls.co.uk/promise.html go and
sign the pledge to adore yourself regardless!
It’s much easier to lose weight if you
feel great about being you, and you’re looking forward to your next meal –
honest!
Well I’m off for a walk to wake me up
properly, no better way to start the day. xx
