Today was butter cream icing class again, which meant I had to be very mindful of not eating the icing (marshmallow flavour) while presenting class. Then AGAIN I did not even have an urge to eat a cupcake either. However, Saturday I have 2 sessions back to back in Butter cream icing and I WILL SUSTAIN! I have changed the way I "speak". I can have the cupcake. I can have the bread. I can have the chips. I can, but I CHOOSE NOT TO! I choose to have them as special treats.
I have changed my dialog from "I cannot eat that." to "I prefer not to eat that." Taking back control. I AM IN CONTROL! MY CRAVINGS DO NOT CONTROL ME!
I think I am settling into my new lifestyle quite well.
Next goal, to exercise at least twice a week. That habit is going to take some serious effort. Like I have mentioned before, I want to incorporate this into my life, not only as a weight loss benefit, but as a way of relieving stress.
The pedometer I ordered is, for the lack of an appropriate word, shit! What an absolute let down! (Next bright idea)
Another very important part to my success and that is the most neglected area of weight loss, MY EMOTIONAL WELL BEING!
After deciding to cut negative and toxic people from my life, I have really been much calmer (and happier). I speak my mind and if you dont like it, then you know where the door is. :) I just cannot deal with people who suck the life out of me anymore and I am too old to put up with it either.
If you do not contribute to my life and in any way contaminate my peace, I am sorry, I cannot allow that anymore. Dealing with the negative relationship I have with food, meant dealing with the negative relationships in my life. And I did. Dont be fooled, it is not easy. But nothing in life worthwhile is easy!
You are responsible for your own happiness and if that means letting go of something that serves no positive purpose in your life, then JUST DO IT, like Elsa in Frozen>> Let it Go!!
Love & Light my fellow loser.
