Monday Weigh In - 16.07.12


Nobody in the office seems to be able to take a photo in focus!


At last...the scales are going down. 206lbs today! Whoop whoop! I know it was what I was when I weighed myself on the Tuesday but I only record on Mondays and its lower than last Monday! Anything lower is good....if I can do the same next week it will mean I am only a few lbs away from 200 which will be amazing. I can not wait for the day when I am in the 100's.

The book "I Can Make You Thin" came through the other day. I have read it (only takes an hour or so) and have listened to the CD. Some of the things I already knew and what he does say does make sense. It is all about readjusting your mental attitude towards food. One thing I definitely want to work on is not eating so quickly and really taking time to chew my food and actually think about what I am eating, the textures and flavours rather than thinking food, food, food. He also says to make peace with your body. How everybody thinks I hate this and that but the body you have is the body you will always have. It might get smaller and it might get bigger but in essence those thighs you hate will still be the same thighs but smaller in a few months...so make peace with your body and work with it to improve it! How stupid do I sound...!!!



Another thing he says is how powerful imagination is compared to will power. When you imagine your favourite food i.e cake you make it so much better in your mind, the flavours and textures you imagine is what makes you break your will to eat the food. Then you have it and it never tastes as good as you think it will. The thing to do is to change it around. Instead of imagining your favourite food, when you feel your will breaking truly imagine you but with the body you want, the image you want and in the life you want. Your imagination to have that will over come your want for the food you think you want and so will help you stay on the straight and narrow!!!



Also I completed my Race for Life - It was really hard but I did it in 43 minutes which I am really pleased about and so far have raised over £300. Whoop whoop!

This week want to make sure I get all my exercise in and keep focused on what I am eating.
