Transformation Butterfly's Journal, 09 September 2014

Why do we wait for certain times of the year to do things? I have seen people wait until Christmas to buy their mother a new stove, vacuum cleaner, blender, mixer, television or paint her house. All of these thing could have been done earlier in the year. I am sure all of these thing broke before the end of the year and money was not the deciding factor nor was the Thanksgiving day sales. I say this because everyone of us gets into a rut and we have to wait until our health is deteriorating, or the doctor tells you that if you don't loose the weight you will die, or letting the dirty clothes stack up until you have no clean clothing to wear (no the solution is not to go out and buy new clothing although I know a few people who think this is the solution) or trying to loose 60 pounds to fit into a slinky dress for the company Christmas party (guess what everyone in you office could see this is no secret and believe me they have been talking about you for months prior).

This is so contagious that it is passed down to our children and their children. The proof is simple watch what will happen after this month. I say why not break the rut your in once and for all. If the television is broken get rid of it now instead of looking at it for another two months to buy a new one. (Joke Thanksgiving sales merchandise marked up in October to appear lower in November and thousands of people fall for this.This is why fall fashion collections always come out in September.)

The cycle we are all in must stop once and for all. The dieting to loose weight to look good for others. We could diet for the entire year to feel good and look good for yourself. Why weight till spring to loose weight to fit into the summer bikini. We could eat right and exercise all winter and burst out with the spring flowers to show how beautiful we all are inside as out. Why not surprise your mother with a new stove right now today, because she has been complaining about it for the last six months. (No buying her a new mixer so she can bake you a cake not a good idea.) Why wait for Christmas to show your assistant that you appreciate all their hard work?

Do something today to break this cycle in your life. You came here to fatsceret to loose the weight get dedicated to yourself, get dedicated to your decision and don't let the marketing companies entice you into buying or doing something that you know will hurt you physically or emotional over the next year. The power to change is within you now and it's just a spark but it does not take much to make that spark into a roaring fire. So are you ready to make this a blazing winter with the fire inside of you to get your body, your mind and your spirit moving in the right direction. Answer: JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today let go of the things that no longer serve you in anyway.

I love this entry. I tend to buy stuff for people throughout the year and send a letter during the holidays. Yes I tend to shop closeout and clearance. Makes me not cool and behind the times but I am SO richer for it!
