Self-Belief
Every day I look at my affirmation cards. They are just little cards, beautifully coloured with an affirmation about trust, love, acceptance, or wealth on them. They make me feel good and help to keep the negative self-talk away and build up my belief in myself. In my abilities and my actions. I believe this has helped me in my weight loss journey in so far as they compliment my moods and assist in thinking and reflecting in a positive way.
I came across this affirmation yesterday and whilst reading it I could actually feel this happening. And it felt really good. I am posting this here so that I have a reminder of what it feels like to think this way. It is almost like having a dream but it being more real than that. This is what I will feel like at goal. I will not be selfconscious. I will not be overbearing. I will not gloat. I will accept and be accepted. For who I am.

"I am walking on the beach, feeling slim and beautiful. I feel people watching me as they notice how lean and strong I am. I feel the warm sand move under my feet as I walk barefoot. The salty ocean air fills my nostrils. I breath deeply, loving the feeling of health and vigor. The waves roll in, their majestic sound enveloping me. I hear children playing and screaming with delight at finding shells or building castles. I am so happy to be alive in this moment and grateful for the new body I have. I feel more confident, healthy, vital, relaxed, and serene. I am at peace with my body and myself."

Oh M, you've done it again. Thanks for posting this today and I am really glad I got to read this after writing my post. I am/was feeling a little dissapointed after my weigh in and I'm waiting for Dan to come home from the dentist. Thanks for sharing your continual warm thoughts. I hope you are feeling better also!
Oh, and before I forget. Dan said the strangest thing last night or not so strange. He said something about you being someone he feels that comes round to our place all the time, like all our other friends. I do hope we can all meet one day for a dinner/drinks. We'll have to get Cath and Craig along too!
Have a beautiful weekend gorgeous!

That is so beautiful MArgaret. Thanks. THat actually sums up how I was feeling last week when I was at the snow with my children. Bythe way when you get to goal it will be OK to just gloat a little.

Lovely, thank you for sharing. And I agree about the 6 wasted points from your fries - they're just not worth it, are they?
