My sponsor who has never ever judged me or "should" me down suggested I keep the positive at the front of my life. Lately as you all know I have lost weight and gone all out to get healthy. As someone who was pretty much lethargic for me to exercise at all is incredible. I walk 10,000 steps a day every day whatever is going on in my life and its made a huge difference. To get back to my sponsor, I decided to take her suggestion (rather than question it or resent it as I used to so religiously). So right now with the positive at the forefront I can go to my storage (a task I have put off for two years) as I have to get smaller clothes as I have dropped a size or two! What a great achievement to go from dread to joy! I can put the joy into making the dreaded much less significant. All from one simple suggestion and working on it rather than doing it my way!
I was going to say well bless your skinny little hide, and then realized that your dropping dress sizes is the by-product of taking care of yourself, not the be all and end all.
How I envy you. I feel so good when I am losing weight and hope I get to that stage (because of taking better care of myself) very soon.

Way to go girl! Sounds like your program is working for you. Keep it up and congratulations on the weight loss. I am still lethargic myself. 10,000 steps that is great. "Smaller clothes" has such a nice ring to it. I need to keep telling myself that and see if it helps to motivate me. I lack motivation so much, it is sad. But good for you and I so happy you are keeping the positive in front that's not always easy either.
I haven't worked out in over 6 months. I've put on about 18 pounds, but MENTALLY it's been much worse. Just today, I went to the gym. I only went for 45 minutes but felt great doing it. It's so weird how that mind, body, soul, thing really works isn't it?
Maresie Great news and I am happy for you. Thanks for reminding me of that powerful tool. I am trying to stop smoking and need to be reminded of some of the tools I have forgotten because I am obsessing over Cigs.
