Listened to Dr. Phil some more while working out last night. One of the things I need to work on, before letting much time go by, is to set a goal for myself within a certain time frame. Something measurable. Something that I can use to keep track of myself. i.e. I want to lose 50 pounds by May 1st. May 1st is about 30 weeks away. That leaves me with a goal of losing approx. 1.5 pounds a week. I'll have to take a look at my calander and mark the end of each month with how much I should weigh at that point in time.
The other thing I need to work on, daily, is to imagine what I'll feel like once I reach my ideal weight. Realistically, my energy level, state of health, the emotions and feelings I have about myself, once I reach my ideal weight, is really my goal. THAT is what I want most! It's not the number on the scale that I want...it's the results that come along with that number that I WANT! I choose to respect myself enough to give myself THAT!
I feel pretty good about things right now. Only I can make the right choices and only I can be the one that WANTS to!
I can do this and I only want to do this ONCE!
I think I've found my motivation with "The Ultimate Weight Solution".
Thank you God! I'm a little slow sometimes...but always willing.
