You don't need anyone's permission but your own!

What you permit is all that counts.
Everybody else's business is exactly that.
We need to feel good about what's going on in our lives.
And ditch anything that doesn't.
There's plenty to choose from.
If we only look  ... and see.
Pay attention!

No choice but to accept?

Not true!
There's always a choice.
Consequences will differ.
Someone may be upset or offended.
That someone could even be you,
If you don't make the right choice for yourself.
So accept who and how you are, then choose.

Accept good things from the abundance that is life!

Life is abundant.
It's amazing.
Why then do we sometimes feel 'bad' or 'down'?
Why can't we "snap out of it"?
Well-being is our birthright, but we've got to want it.
Breathe, move, make sound.
Walk in nature ... feel its abundance ... and align with it.

Enjoy your exchanges

Give and receive.
Not necessarily in that order.
But in equal measure.
Attention is priceless!
We all crave it.
So give as much as you want to receive.
That's the trick!

New is good.

Unless it isn't!
We learn by experience.
And if it feels good, we generally label the experience 'good'.
And do it again if possible.
Repeated too many times it may become 'old hat'.
Then we need to move on to other new experiences and learning.
You agree?

Do you allow your attention to wander?

It's so easy, isn't it?
And we know it's happening.
We can feel it.
But what do we do?
Do we pull it back on track?
Refocussing on what's important?
Or do we drift off?

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?

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!

One step at a time

"Step by step!" - NbYp

Boundaries are great!

Where would we be without them?

"All at sea!"

Anchor yourself, wherever you are.

Then step out on the next leg of your journey.

Don't wait.

There are endless possibilities. Enjoy as many as you can.

What an achievement!

"And now it continues!" - YsYs

No, I'm not giving up!

I already have my next target worked out and in my sights.

It feels good to be on target.

I've lost 28 lbs in 28 weeks, just as I intended, my BMI is now 25.8.

Now I intend to lose another 7 lbs in 7 weeks.

So, by 1 September 2011, I will have lost 35 lbs in 35 weeks.

And my BMI will then be 24.6, below 25 - at which point I am no longer 'overweight'!

Surrender to the urge?

"Instinctive impulses are good ... usually!" - YsSr

Release all guilt and blame.

They serve no-one.

Least of all you.

Live life to the full.

Do whatever that means for you.

Consider all consequences.

They're part of it!

Passionate about losing weight and being healthy?

"YES - You Expect Success!" - YsPp

Praying? What's the point?

Picture plus passion is prayer.

Are you passionate about losing weight and being healthy?

Can you picture it? Being slimmer? Being healthier?

Praying with any doubt won't work!

Be sure what you want, ask for it, and let it come.

Then celebrate the inevitable!

One with our food

"Surrender and move on." - YsGm

Moving on ...

What comes after surrender?

Answer ... you do.

Everything starts and continues with No.

Who you are and what you do ...

... is up to you.

Happy with that?

The essence of surrender

"I won't say no to that!" - YsTh

Does it touch you?

Surrender?

It can, if we let it.

Feel yourself let go.

Trusting all will be well.

Including your physicality.

Be touched.

Whether we like it or not ...

"We are what we eat!" - YsHc

Many dislike the idea of surrender - "I'm not going to eat that!"

But what exactly is it? What does it mean, to surrender?

What does it ... can it ... feel like?

It needn't mean giving in or giving up - and eating things you'd really rather not.

It can mean active trust, complete trust, that all will be and is indeed well.

We need to take responsibility for what we choose to eat, and what we choose to trust.

Then we can actively and positively surrender to what must be.

Trust and surrender

"Surrender to freedom!" - YsNt

True surrender?

What's that all about?

The feeling of complete trust that whatever happens is fine.

Better than fine.

Absolutely delightful.

What a relief, a release ... true freedom.

Let go and let 'god' - and 'god' includes you and me!

We agree?

"I agree. I agree. I do!" - YaYa

How can I not agree?

I either agree or I don't. Doubt means I don't!

Agreement is a feeling.

Acting as if I agree when I don't won't work.

It's not what I want to be doing.

So I won't do it. It's in no-one's best interest.

Least of all mine.

Token or total?

"Do you really mean it?" - YaSr

Agreements aren't always upheld.

Sometimes we let ourselves and others down.

Alignment is lost.

Temporarily or forever.

What happens then, like everything, is up to us.

Damage can be repaired, or compounded.

Outcomes demonstrate whether the agreement was token or total.
