I have systems that are working really well:
- Meal planning (especially dinner)
- Having the right tools e.g. food scale, water jug…
- Being part of a consistent, strong, and caring community
- Doing activities tht are both: fun, & make me feel stronger
My “why” for losing weight is being able to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to feel like myself in any situation I find myself in. However, what good is feeling good in my own skin, if I am clueless as to who I really am? My weight loss journey is helping me to know myself better, and (for that) I am filled with gratitude.
Searching for what I need to learn in order to make my journey successful is as important to me as losing weight. An example would be how I needed to learn more about habits, so I read the books: The Power of Habit and Atomic Habits. Finding the information I needed to learn in order to help myself tapped into my personal sense of power.
You have power too; believe in yourself, and believe that you can do what needs to be done to reach your goals. Using your power to transform yourself either physically and/or mentally is an amazing way to live.
Maybe you’re reading this post and feel far away from its message of empowerment. if you’re “sort of” on a weight loss journey, sitting on the fence between belief or disbelief I hope you’ll cross over to believing. I believe in you, so let’s do this – together.
