Making a decision...

[LuvTigger]

Just wanted to share that I recently attended a motivational seminar which really gave me some perspective in many areas, including weight loss. One of the speakers said that so many people (raising my hand here) say they lack discipline, will-power, don't have the time, etc. to stick to a weight loss program and ask her how she stays so healthy and disciplines herself to be healthy (this woman only eats ONE ice cream all summer!), and her answer was, "I made a decision to be healthy."

It's hard to describe, but I really understood what she meant. It wasn't like, "I'm going to TRY to lose weight and be healthy," it's like, "I AM going to be healthy, and that's that."

So here I am saying for myself personally, I AM going to be healthy!

You are absolutely right you can't just try to make it happen you have to claim it!! I AM GOING TO BE HEALTHY. Nuff said.

There is a lot of power in that statement!

Congrats ~

At the end of the day each one of us is responsible for how healthy we can be cause ultimately we alone decide what we are going to put into our bodies.

I LOVE THIS!!! This is exactly how I feel. I have run into the TRY wall a million and one times but this time I opened the door in the wall instead and walked though it. Something in me just clicked and I knew I wasn't going to TRY anymore, I was just going to do it!

Thanks for the info, LuvTigger! Is there a link or something you can PM me regarding this speaker you saw? Thanks! I am always looking for motivational material. Anything I can think about to add to my philosophy and happy thoughts is always welcome!!!
