It is time…….
It is time I stopped with the self-sabotage! I am the queen of excuses for what I do to myself every day! I have proven I can do it! I think I get so far and maybe I am afraid of the changes.
I can sit around and whine and moan or I can get my butt in gear and do this! I can count my blessings for what I have or I can whine about what I don’t have!
I can bitch about hubby working all the time or I can be thankful that I have a husband I can see every day! He works two jobs in order to take care of me and I can work less than 30 hours a week!
I can complain about him eating junk in front of me and tempting me or I can accept the fact that I can’t change him; he needs to want to change himself. He needs to want to change his eating habits for him not for me!
I can moan about how tired I am and how my body hurts or I can do something about it!
I can whine about how flabby and disgusting my body looks or I can exercise and tighten it up!
I can cry all I want about the way some people at work treat me and don’t like me or I can accept the fact that some people are just trouble makers no matter what and it doesn’t matter and that I have friends who love me and accept me for me!
I can stop my imagination that my hubby’s is going to leave me for someone else. He loves me and he tells me this every day. He tells me he is proud of what I have accomplished and me and he tells me how nice I look every day! Just because our place of work is a Peyton Place and there are things like that going on in there doesn’t mean that my husband is weak and part of it! We have been married almost 30 years, and he has loved me through it all he isn’t going to start cheating on me just because this is happening all around him at work!
I can’t help what my grown kids choose to do or not to do! I can stop blaming myself for what I did wrong. They are old enough to know right from wrong and I know in my heart I raised them with good morals and if they want to continue on a road to self-destruction, I can’t stop them, but just let them know I love them and I am here for them.
I have to let go of the hurt my sister has been causing me, because she doesn’t think I go to see my mom enough. I go to see my mom as often as I can. I love my mom and she knows it and I know my mom loves me. My sister is a very unhappy person and she wants everyone around her to be as miserable as she is and I refuse to fall in to her trap any longer.
These past few weeks I have been having one long big Pity Party and it is going to stop today! I am no longer going to participate in this self-sabotage I have been doing!
I am so thankful for all of you and the support, motivation and inspiration you have given me! I am not going to self-destruct any more! I am going to get up dust myself off and start anew!
TODAY, I am totally back on track with diet and exercise!
Love ya all!
Big HUGS!

YOU GO GIRL!!! I know you can do this!! I’m right here cheering you!!

Now that’s my Bette Jo, my motivator! So excited to see you tossed the other one to the curb, lol! I too! like Jane am extremely proud of you and all of your success. You rock sista! Luv Ya! Linda
WOOHOO! Now that is a wonderful attitude!
Alright girl….you did what I did the other day…you wrote a rant directed at yourself..a mental kick in the butt to get yourself going again. So glad your taking a stand…this is for you..so its all the sweeter. Here’s to a fresh start…good job girl!
Love Debbie
Bette jo, I love what you said and it really encourages me too! I am so very proud of you and the way you are changing your attitude to not harm yourself any longer ! Good for you ! Hugs, Kimmi
Bette Jo, I love your new attitude ! You have inspired me and I thank you for that! Hugs, Kimmi
I just read this, rock on!! I needed to see this, On with the positivity!
I loved this blog!!! It’s so true in my life too! Interesting how it can apply to my life!
Recapture your strenght - way to go! Look at how far you have already come. Research says that the left front part of the brain is responsible for positive and appreciate thoughts. So I try and rub my left part of my forhead to remember to jump start that part of the brain.
What a great blog and a wonderful way to look at your life. I think we can all apply some of that positve thinking to our own lives.
Now that’s the right attitude! You can’t change the people around you. You can only change yourself, and you’ve been doing that. And just because you’re not getting where you want to be as fast as you want to get there doesn’t mean you’re not trying. There are a lot of factors to take into account when it comes to weight loss. Until you finally let go of all the mental anguish you’ve been putting yourself through, it will be more difficult to reach your goal. You’ve taken an important step in that direction. Now, just hold onto those thoughts and that new attitude. Do this for you. Start putting yourself first and you’ll make it.
