Why am I doing this?

Honestly?
To share my thoughts about dieting and healthy living.
To give myself a pat on the back when I'm doing well.
And, a kick up the backside when I'm not.
Does it work?
It does when I'm committed to it - my diet.
And I have to accept the consequences when I'm not!

Healthy living goes on and on ...

"Permit yourself a vision beyond completing your current goal." - YPPV

Yes is not the end. It's a beginning.

What's next?

Continuing the journey of healthy living.

With a new goal.

Seeing it already achieved.

Building on the good work already done, not undoing it.

Then seeing what feels right beyond that.

Cut it out!

"I realise I permit a lot that I don't really want and I have to stop doing that." - YPGR

Maybe is No.

Reluctance is inner refusal.

Beyond reluctance, over the bridge of maybe, is the beginning of inclination to permit.

Use your real eyes to realize exactly what's happening.

What's your real IN-clination?

Do you really want this?

Yes or No? Either is OK. Go with it!

Keep out?

"Appreciate your boundaries. Only from there can you welcome Yes." - YPTA

I'm grateful I only need my permission to choose what I eat and drink.

Permission considers and decides.

It's felt.

As contraction or expansion - fear or love.

Do you flinch or embrace this?

Is it intrusive or welcome?

Permit a different unfolding.

What a great idea!

"Permit yourself to perceive this diet differently."

The 7 Words Diet is not just another good idea.

It's a way of life.

It's about appreciating how you feel, and feeling better.

About everything you do.

Do you see?

Take responsibility for what gets and holds your attention.

Permit it to change. It's different now, right?

Almost there!

"The journey is from No to Yes ... and on again to No!" - YPNB

A whole 28 days of Yes!

Extending horizons - not my waistline!

We feel Yes, relaxing our No.

Yes motivates, if we permit it, until we flinch - which we do!

If you're in tension about your IN-tentions ...

Then your Yes is a little reluctant.

Relax. Permit a little more ... and see what happens.

Don't fight Sorry. Embrace it.

"Sorry is positively OK. What a relief!" - SRYS

Surrender (positively) to Sorry & the benefits of release from guilt and blame.

What a wonderful idea!

It's great feeling good about being Sorry.

Embrace release from guilt.

Blame no-one.

Need no apology.

Release the tension of separation. Reuniting is beautiful.

Give the gift of freedom.

"Forget forgiveness. There's nothing to forgive!" - SRSR

Forgive AND forget ... other-wise you haven't for-given.

Let it all go. Wipe the slate clean.

You'll feel better. Much better. Give the gift of freedom.

Be free.

Expect success.

There's actually nothing to forgive anyway.

All is well. Life is good.

What do you expect?

"Beyond what the mirror reflects is how I want to be. I see and expect it." - SRPP

Our bodies don't lie and neither do our scales.

We know what we expect.

Even if we don't like it!

The trick is to decide to make and then expect things to be different.

VisuaL-eyes, IN-tend, and expect what you do want.

Release all guilt and blame.

What will be is what you will!

Excess baggage?

"I don't need or want this. I'm moving on without it." - SRGM

You've already decided.

Remember?

Your body does!

Honour your decision and your body.

Look where you are and where you're going.

Will your next step take you further from or closer to your goal?

Surrender to the goal. It's what you want & better than you can possibly imagine!

Touching can be very telling!

"The gift of for-giving touches the heart and releases tears of relief, re-Life, gratitude and joy." - SRTH

Forgiving grudgingly is not for-giving.

Spiteful and malicious thoughts don't help.

They only harm.

Tear them out. Let them go and move on.

Revitalise your future, free from guilt and blame.

Expect success.

It's there for the taking.

Swimmingly good!

"Immersed in freedom!" - SRHC

Back in the pool

Enjoy-in-g the flow

Feeling good

Don't you know?

Stroking the future in to being

Anchors away

Let's go!

On track ... just!

"I don't like being overweight!" - SRNT

I've lost 23 lbs in 23 weeks!

The idea is to lose 28 lbs in 28 weeks.

Being 'on track' feels good. Being 'off track' doesn't.

Leaving old eating habits behind requires decision & discipline.

I will and expect to achieve my weight loss goals.

Releasing all guilt and blame about previous 'bad' habits would be good.

I need to re-Learn the reaL ease of reLease.

Some things are meant to be broken!

"Replacing harmful habits with healthy ones is a good thing to do." - SRYA

Broken isn't useful - or is it? What about breaking the mould of bad habits?

Get in to the habit of exchanging sacred forms of energy - money, food, drink - to repair well-being.

Re-pairing is a gift, for the giver and receiver.

Completing repairs, like this diet, can take time - "A job worth doing is worth doing well."

Ask for help when you need it.

Healing is quicker then, for all concerned.

This is how it's meant to be.

In a sorry state?

"Done well, this repair won't need repair!" - SRSR

Forgiveness and re-pairing arises from a state.

The sixth plane state of Sorry.

It's a wonderful state to be in.

Try it.

It provides a whole new perspective.

Re-pair-in-g looks different from here.

All is well.

Feelings help. Don't regret regret!

"I will cooperate with all I need to do to reduce my BMI to 25 and then keep it at or below this level." - SRPC

But, exactly what is required to achieve this?

How can I cooperate, if I don't know what's required?

Feelings offer useful clues.

Begin and end with "Does this feel good?"

Cooperation included.

If not, ask yourself (and perhaps others) "Why do I feel this way?"

Agree what is, and act accordingly.

Eating less? Finish what you start!

"Completing this diet is bringing to an end being overweight. It's repairing my body." - SRGC

I'm choosing to lose weight and repair my body.

Exchanging old ideas about my body with new thoughts.

I like re-evaluating and valuing my body and health.

Completion continues. Phase one ends 14/7/11.

Lapses don't help.

Repair then needs repair!

Until I agree once more with what I'm eating.

Repair is a gift that re-pairs!

"Following remorse, the gift of repair is release." - SRTG

Repair is a choice that reaffirms boundaries.

It's an energetic exchange.

It's a gift that restores balance and harmony.

It must be completed ...

... to the satisfaction of all involved.

Then and only then can repair re-pair.

Agreed?

No need to feel bad ... for long!

"Repairing, 'making good', enables me to exchange feeling bad for feeling good." - SRHE

When we discover we've caused harm,

Think and check exactly what harm has been done and how.

It's likely, we'll feel differently about it than others.

What can be done?

Ask ... "How can I make amends?"

Repair the damage.

And then agree all bad feeling (guilt and blame) is gone - great!

Re-pair inner and outer.

"I choose to repair the damage I've done to myself by being overweight - re-pairing and realigning my inner and outer states." - SRNC

When we're off track, we need to (re-)adjust our course.

Zig-zagging is one way forward.

A direct approach can be better.

Don't dance around the issue.

Tackle it, head on!

Be nice! Strong words, softly spoken.

Life is good ... isn't it?
