Work in progress

I haven't yet reached my target weight.
My sub-conscience has a lot to say about that! Does yours?
I can see and feel where I'm carrying my extra fat.
My task is to shed it!
I will do this, and I'm well on the way.
I weigh myself every day
And accept that it's taking time ... but it's happening!

Forgive yourself - release guilt and blame.

Guilt and blame are not helpful.
Except as indicators that the past (an old habit?) still has a hold on you.
Feeling good right now, every new moment, is all that matters.
Anything motivated by, or resulting in, guilt or blame is wrong. Don't do it!
Be responsible.
Accountable for all your actions.
Therein lies freedom - freedom to choose who and how you are!

Do you accept who and how you are?

If not,
what do you want to do about it?
How will that make you feel?
What's stopping you?
See yourself how you are and how you'd like to be.
Forget what you think others might think.
And make that change.

Is this a habit? Is it healthy?

Habits aren't necessarily 'bad'.
Some are 'good'.
E.g. thinking 'good feeling' thoughts.
Think your 'best' thought (about what you're eating, and the consequences)
And you won't go far 'wrong'.
Boy! What a lot of ''''''!
But you know what I mean, yeah?

Are you healthy?

Being unhealthy is not fun.
To be healthy we need to be alert.
Find and feel your own healthy balance.
And stick to it.
Explore and expand your repertoire by all means.
But don't overdo it.
There will be consequences, either way!

What do I expect?

When I don't stick to my diet,
How can I expect not to put on weight?
I love food.
It nourishes me.
Up to the point of excess.
Then it's my responsibility to stop.
Each and every time I'm faced with food.

There's more to me than meets the eye!

I am not just my weight and shape.
We all have ideas about weight and shape.
How these ideas make us feel is up to us.
They do not have to determine how we act, unless they do.
Then what?
What are we going to do about it?
I-dent-it-Y?

Accept who you are and what you can become!

Your body can't lie! You know it can't.
We sometimes like to think otherwise.
But who are we fooling?
No-one except ourselves!
We are how we are, and we can be how we choose.
What we choose might mean work.
So be it!
 

Do you stick to your No decisions?

Can you say No, easily?  And when you do, do you stick to it?
When is it more difficult?
Saying Yes just to please others isn't a good idea.  It creates feelings of resentment.
Just say No!
Then you can do, or continue to do, exactly and only what you want to do.
There's no need to apologize or feel guilty.
Accepting that we all have the right to say No will make the world a better place.

Let's start from here - accepting where we are

"Identifying the problem" - NiYa

Do I accept who I am?

Am I sure?

Do I like who I am?

Do I want to change anything?

What do I want to change?

Who will that affect?

Does it matter?

Who loses?

"Isn't it sad when we don't take responsibility?" - NiSr

When no-one takes responsibility,

its easy to blame others,

anyone, except ourselves,

for harmful actions or inaction.

Let's stand up and be counted,

especially when we make mistakes.

Isn't that better for everyone?

Intend and expect success

"I am successful!" - NiPi

Vision without action is a daydream.

Action without vision is a nightmare!

It's true, dreams can't come true unless you have them.

However, just dreaming won't make dreams come true.

We need to want things passionately and intend to have them.

That's the difference that makes the difference.

Picture plus passion is 'prayer'. You Expect Success - YES!

Identifying who I am by what I'm doing

"My decisions create my identity." - NiGd

What I do

Is who I am.

I may not like all I do now.

That's OK. I can change things.

When I do only what I want to do

I don't have to apologise for being inauthentic.

Authenticity celebrates unique identity.

Who am I & what do I think?

"Valuing who I am and what I think." - NiTv

Denying who I am and what I really think helps no-one.

Least of all, me.

Acknowledging and valuing unique identity & thoughts

Is vital to self-esteem and well-being.

Knowing and growing who I am and what I think is what life is all about.

Rectifying mistakes - outcomes we don't like - is part of the process.

Accepting what is, is the best place to start.

Considering new ideas

"Shaping & reshaping my thinking." - NiHo

What and how I think is part of my identity.

I am open to new ways of thinking.

Feeling what resonates with me.

When I meet ideas that jar, I consider them ...

To see what they're offering me.

Integrating the learning, positive & negative.

Accepting what does and does not work for me at this time.

Knowing who you are!

"Identifying what you are not." - NiNi

I most definitely am not someone who ........

What?

That! (What?)

OK.

What are you then?

Whatever I choose to be.

Great! What do choose to be right now?

Crossing the line!

"Not bothered either way?" - YaNi

Our bodies don't lie.

Accept who, how and where you choose to be.

And what you feel about that.

If it's not OK, change it.

Into something better.

How will you know it's better?

Your body and your emotions will tell you.
