What Does It Take Today?
24 July 2007 by livingrainbowcolor
Today I’m actively reducing the amount I eat and increasing the amount I move and refocusing the way I think. A dozen times I’ve asked myself, “What will it take to keep me on my goal?” then I follow the question with an answer and an action.
Here are some of the things I’ve told myself or done today.
- Visualize how good I will feel if I make a positive choice
- Check in on every important decision
- Walking a little faster
- Telling myself to “lose the drama,” it’s not that bad
- Choosing things to do other than obsessing
- Visualizing my body at its final state
- “I chose this”
- “Ben and Jerry won’t give me what I want right now”
- “It’s ok to eat less”
- “I don’t have to punish myself with food”
- Eating when I’m hungry, but keeping the portions very small
- Cutting back the richness in my meals
- Tasting my food carefully
