Creating your vision

This is my vision. I wrote it, then felt it. My task is to remind myself of this vision every day. I have yet to write it up and hang it all around my house. That is the goal for this evening. The goal is written in present tense, and I must 'feel' it every single day.

I am a size 12 by October 2009. I enjoy regular physical activity that strengthens my body and my soul. I love to eat food that nourishes my body. I feel powerful and full of energy. I am free of my sugar addiction in all situations. I love the way that my body looks and feels. I am filled with gratitude for the strength and courage to achieve my vision. I relax easily with prayer and meditation.

I am off now to print this vision and find three places to display it.

The Right Weigh

This is the year. I have made a decision. I will shed the weight that has inhibited me for so long.

I have been reading a book called "The Right Weigh" by Rena Greenberg. This book makes so much sense to me. It briefly mentions food and exercise (unlike other books that dedicate most of the book to these topics.) Rena says: You know what to do, you have been down this road before. You have tried every diet and now you need a mental tool. Something is preventing you from getting to where you want to be. She is very inspiring. I have committed to completing her tasks for the 40 days she has outlined. Part of this means that I need to record lots of things in 'a permanent weight-loss journal'.

This is that journal. I am ready. I am here!
