Don'T Always Believe What You'Re Told

Members Were Sparked

What I do and what I am doing is more for me them anyone else, but at the same time while making myself healthier I am going to prove a lot of people wrong. So when I wake up in the morning, I know it's my life and I am becoming a better person while also erasing doubt from everyone elses mind.

MIND GAMES

One of the most helpful techniques is offering yourself a dual..a challenge...friendly competition!!! When you're feeling like you're in an exercise rut, play mind games with yourself. There was plenty of times that my old chunky self told my new almost fit self, "I bet you can't, I bet you won't, You can't do that, You don't have the stamina, You don't have the energy NOR the flexibility!!!" The reply was/IS always, "I CAN SHOW YOU BETTER THAN I CAN TELL YOU!"216

People don't believe I weigh that much

My friends don't believe how much I weigh when I tell them the actual number. That in itself left me uninspired. I always believed I would never have a weight problem. I found out that as you get older, if you don't change your life style to go along with your age, you will be quite surprised. When I got to menopause age it took a total turn and I was not prepared for it.

MORE INFORMATION:
Twenty plus years ago when I was diagnosed with hypertension I quit smoking and never looked back. I know I can do this. I am motivated and I am not on a DIET! I am on track to REDESIGN myself mentally and physically.
335 I am whistling a different tune.

Scale

Don't always look at the scale to see how much you have lost. Measurments and clothes fitting tells a better story sometime
