I read in an Erma Bombeck book how she had lost so much
weight over the course of her lifetime, by all mathematical reasoning she
should be charm size, hanging off her own bracelet. I can relate, can you?
As I was waking up this morning this very subject was
whirling around and around, and the light bulb went off. ‘Start with the end in mind’. Now that’s a new way to think of weight loss
– just don’t think about it.
Period. Think about the end
result instead. I so appreciate these 'ah ha' moments because they take years off the chronic thoughts fogging our
brains, and allow some air time.
So if the end result is to maintain a healthy weight, we no
longer have to go on a diet. We no
longer have to allow food to rule our lives or every waking thought. We simply go about our day AS IF. We live our life AS IF we are at the healthy
weight already, doing what that looks like, every day, until one day another light
bulb goes off and says “WOW, it worked, I am maintaining a healthy
weight”. And if, in the meantime you
have lost poundage, and your clothes are super duper baggy, it simply means it wasn’t healthy for you to hang onto that weight
in the first place. This stuff is
crazy cool.
Our mind is powerful beyond belief, and it lets us boss
it around. So just put awesome ideas and
detailed declarations into our mind and watch what happens. I lay money down it works. We are in charge by golly.
My friend Frito puts a whole bunch of green stuff in a blender each morning and then uses luncheon plates for her other meals. My friend Coach runs, swims, and bikes a gazillion miles a week and eats like nobody's business (not really but it sounds good). My friend Karen uses itsy bitsy Barbie Doll cookware for all
her meals – that is her secret for maintaining a healthy weight. So, if you are looking for something to get
me for Christmas…………….hint, hint. Just
sayin’
