Conquering my negative voice.

"In weight loss, there are many changes. You will change your routines, and you will change sizes, but those who have the most success are those who change their minds!"
I have been reading the Weight Watchers success handbook and I am so surprised at how it has made me feel and how I am recognizing what I have been doing to myself.

My last post I was very negative about myself and really beating myself up. This book has been helping me tremendously! I've started to listen to myself and instead of some of those negative comments constantly lurking around I've decided to take it one day at a time and one positive thought each and every time I look in the mirror.
I've also created small goals to work on each week. It's easier than to look at the big picture. Yes, ultimately I want to weigh in at 125. But that's a lot to take in at once! So my goal for the week is to lose 0.5 pounds (small I know, but if I lose more then ill be extremely excited and if I lose half a pound I've met my goal and can move on). The saying "slow and steady wins the race" is so very true. I will slowly reach my goal and I know that it won't be easy, not even close!
I've also decided to incorporate exercise into my daily schedule. Again, I'm starting slow I don't want to over do it and than quit. Exercising has made a huge dent in the way I think about myself. I find myself being positive and excited about the progress I feel that I am making.
I will not let the scale and the number on the scale control me anymore!! I am in charge! If I am making healthy choices each week it WILL pay off! It may not be instant and the scale probably won't notice but the goal here is to not give up because of what the scale says.
Today, here and now, I am conquering my negative voice.
Here's to a week of POSITIVITY and for making healthier choices!
