I've been viewing my weight loss efforts as a challenge. Even phrasing it nicely by saying it's a challenging journey that I am on.
Hhhmmm.... I don't know why but that doesn't hang quite right in my gut (I trust my gut). Why not think of it as an opportunity instead? Problems and challenges hold such negative energy. They're so deeply entrenched in fear, really.
If I begin to look at losing weight in a different way and embrace the experience as an OPPORTUNITY, what does that look like or feel like? Hey, I'm getting a good sensation here!
Well, it feels kind of empowering to tell the truth. Every day I have an opportunity to make my body healthier. I have the opportunity to choose well and to reap the rewards of those choices. And as my body heals and transforms, I have the opportunity to help others realize the same.
I know! I know! Easy to say! But I seem to have arrived at a place where anything is possible if I can visualize it and assume it to be real RIGHT NOW. I mean, I have almost 50 pounds to lose and I'm not delusional about it...but I can see the new trimmer me vividly and I can imagine and know what it's like to be lighter. I feel the fabric of those skinny jeans sliding up my legs and the lovely flatness of my tummy. By keeping the vision alive I'm getting closer all the time.
I don't want to miss the opportunities that lay before me. These are not challenging times and there are no problems. None at all. Bring it on!
