My new found Attitude…….
A few weeks ago I had entered a contest, the prize was an Extreme Fitness Makeover with personal trainer, hair and clothing makeover. I didn’t win, but I did get a free phone consultation about goals and visions. It opened my eyes to what I have been doing to myself lately. I have been self-sabotaging myself. I have been hiding from things and reverting to my old ways! I can start my day off just fine and by evening I am making excuses why I am sitting there eating a whole bag of chips or cookies! I had a bad day, hubby is not helping me, nobody cares (boo hoo)! I don’t come on here like I use to because I am embarrassed that I have been so week. I have no motivation! I have no self-control! I need to be here for myself as well as for you! I need to come on here especially when I am having a bad day!
I want to share some ideas that were given to me during my phone consultation:
This will help with Mental Attitude
List 20 Strengths
Every night before you go to bed write down 3 positive things you did that day!
Food Journal (I use to do this and I quit doing it and I am going to take the time to do it again)
I hope you are all having an awesome day, I am going too now! I am going to get back on track and continue my journey no matter what obstacles get in my way!
I also have gained back 14 lbs. while I have been off track. I have adjusted my weight ticker to show it! I can and I will continue my journy!

Hey Bette, I just found this! you are an inspiration. We all fall down sometimes, but just know you have buddies here who are there to help you back up. -Dee
I know what you mean about hiding from things. When I topped the scales at 280, I was amazed. Then I had to sit down and really look at my life. Hiding is no good. Eating itself is a way of hiding, of stuffing down thoughts and emotions that I didn’t want to deal with. Good for you that you recognize that.
I SO know how you feel as I’ve been in the same place for the last week or so. I KNOW I can do it but I just keep on making excuses for myself and saying the famous “I’ll start tomorrow” - which never comes, of course. We’re all here for you through good and bad times!
