It feels so good to know what to do, and then DO it! I relaxed my discipline for a week, failed at my experiment of only eating when I'm hungry while I'm on vacation, but then came home and got right back to it. Now I'm just over 2 lbs from my pre-vacation low weight, and ready to blast right right past it.
Good things are coming my way, and I'm treating those events and people with love and care and appreciation, because they feel like a gift. There many coinciding events that find me in the right place at the right time. It's happening so frequently, that it can't be an accident. I'm not a religious person in any way, but I was raised in a religious home, and I do believe in God, maybe not in the biblical exactly, and I certainly don't think I'm a puppet. But I do think that the positive forces and energy that I have projected are attracting the same back to me, and a higher power could be involved. (Deep for 7am, I know) But I've seen it in my professional life, personal life, and weight loss journey. Here are a few examples:
I agreed to do something nice for someone I used to work with, and when I showed up to do it, the contact I've been trying to reach for months was right there at the table with the person I was helping. Now we are moving forward with the sale. Totally weird coincidence.
I was meeting a girlfriend for happy hour, I was about a half hour ahead of her, and at the last minute I changed my mind about where we were going to meet, and met a wonderful man that I'm starting to date.
I've already written about this one, but flying home from Oregon I met the weight-loss doctor on the plane. She definitely had an influence on how hard I jumped back into losing weight when I got home. Talking to her brought up all of the feelings and excitement of reaching my goal, thoughts that had sort of taken a back seat while I was vacationing.
There are a bunch of smaller ones, but these stand out in my mind as having a larger impact on my life. It's fun to watch for them, then celebrate it!
