December 28 Prompt: Achieve. What’s the thing you most want to achieve next year? How do you imagine you’ll feel when you get it? Free? Happy? Complete? Blissful? Write that feeling down. Then, brainstorm 10 things you can do, or 10 new thoughts you can think, in order to experience that feeling today.
I want a healthy BMI
NO.. its not a number on a scale, its not a dress size... I am obese... morbidly obese and this number, a healthy BMI means that I can ease the worry on my family, I can stop stressing about diabetes and all the other problems that I will get if I remain at this weight... I can shop in normal stores... I can walk into a restaurant and not feel my paranoia take over that everyone is staring at me and judging me... some people are just having their dinner (oh the self importance! LOL) ... I will feel content... safe... sane...
Brainstorm...
1. Go hunt out my mood board... and stare at it!
2. Say out loud - I will succeed!
3. Repeat step 2!
4. Hang up the dress I bought to wear when I get to goal..
Hold it up against me... see how far I have to go.. feel it ..
smell it.. twirl about in it!
5. Check my emails.. everyday I get amazing support from total strangers
who are on the same journey as me.. people who put it to me straight!
Sometimes they don't even know how much they help!
6. Breathe deeply - I am alive, well and happy...
I am healthy and the only way is up!
7. Lovesme unconditionally ...
and there to support me!
8. Delete the "friends" I've accumulated who aren't supportive..
Would I like to be "friends"? .. um NO actually, unless you're a positive,
living-life-to-the-full kinda person .. then no thanks!
9. Plan a healthy supper tonight... holidays are over!
10. Respect myself! right now!
I totally feel you on that. I actually just got out of the "obese" category and am now in the "overweight" category, which is already a huge weight off my shoulders...so to speak. I can't wait to be in the "healthy" category, just so I can say I'm healthy. You will get there!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your brainstorming - I may need to make up a new vision board for 2011. Haven't had one in long enough!

ReplyDeleteI know you are going to do this - it's hard but totally worth it (this is coming from someone who lost a bunch of weight about 10 years ago) - good luck!!!
