Weight Loss: It's a Mind Game!

I've just started on this long journey called "weight loss." As I go I'm always learning new things, taking in people's opinions, and just absorbing everything. I probably know more about losing weight than a lot people. So you may ask, "Why are you fat"? Well, to tell you the truth, it's all about will power.

If you have your mind in the right place, you can and will change your life. But, if you always feel hopeless, depressed and are just negative about losing weight, chances are you are not going to lose weight. You need confidence. You have to pick yourself up and say, "I'm worth it."

Some of the stuff I do to keep things fresh and keep my confidence up are getting my hair done, getting my nails done, trying new makeup, getting some new clothes, etc. This keeps me reaching for where I want to be. Sometimes I go into a store and think, "Man, I wish I could fit into this skirt," but I have learned to keep that outfit in mind and just keep thinking about it when I want some chocolate or a burger from BK. I know eventually I will wear that skirt, if I keep giving up the junk food, and get my body into motion.

So, this is where I am at. I'm on this weight loss train, and a day closer to my skydiving dream (yes, I want to skydive). Oh, and maybe even a day closer to finding the hunk of my dreams lol!!! I just need to find one that doesn't run away from me because I weigh more than him. I just want to be perfect for that one guy, even if I'm not a size 2, I want him to want me for who I am. But, that is not 254lbs because I wont ever be happy in a relationship when I am not happy with who I am. How can I expect someone to love me when I dont love myself?

Think about it....

  • Weight loss is complex. It is about attitude and mindset, but it's also about controlling your food intake and making healthy choices.

    The guy who falls in love with you should love you no matter what you weigh. You deserve that - all women (and men do!)

    When I married I was a "normal" size, gained 150 pounds, and lost it 12 years ago. Through all those fat years my husband loved me unconditionally. That's what I hope happens when you find the right guy - regardless of where your weight is!

  • Do personal development. Jim Rohm says "Formal Education gets you a job, Personal Education gets you riches" The best riches to start with is how you feel about yourself. What goes on inside your head (my husband calls it "in-between your ears" :-)) contributes hugely into what goes into your mouth.
