I was reading last night in one of my most favorite books called The Success Principals written by Jack Canfield. It talked about dream stealers and the power of positive thinking. I totally believe that although I have never been able to envision myself as thin because I have never been there. Instead I will imagine how it feels. I can close my eyes and see how I feel.
There are so many things that you have to be worried about when you are this heavy. When I am at a social at the church where there are tables and chairs I have to estimate how much room I have and can I get through those spaces. Last week I attended a wonderful play and as I went to sit down a barley was able to fit in the seat. It was uncomfortable and I prayed that no one would sit on the other side of me, as I spilled over the sides and top.
I started on my path about 4 days ago. I stepped on the scale and could not believe it!! I started at 328 and I have dropped 9 POUNDS!!!
I have started making slow changes. I am eating clean. I am moving more. My co worker suggested that we take our 15 minute breaks and walk during them then take 20 minutes if our lunch and walk. Its too cold for her and we have to break at separate times because there is only two of us working. I started a couple days ago and I LOVE IT!! It was so nice to get the fresh air in me and take some time to just think about whatever I want to. I don't bring music with me because it allows me time to clear my head and listen. Silence is a blessing. The coolest thing about it is that I get 50 minutes of exercise all during the work day!
Yesterday I started an Advocare cleanse to get myself to jump start, but I did not expect to lose three pounds the first day on it- but I will take it!!
I realize that the scale is not the end all- it is just a scale. The important thing is how I feel about my progress and how my body feels.
I am happy. It will be a journey of epic proportions but I am going to reach it at last.
