As may of you know I've been a bit of a "Debbie Downer" lately.., This is out of character for my normal positive thinking self. The scale #'s were not dropping like I wanted or expected and after speaking with Andrea (who may I add, has been AWESOME at helping support me this past week), I decided the scale and I are going to take a break from each other for a few weeks - with that being said, I DID have to get weighed for my life insurance policy and can I tell you I think they cheat??! That scale told me I was SIX pounds more then the one at home said, but I refuse to allow that to get me down.
So yesterday I went to church, still feeling a bit down and hard on myself.., you know when you get in those funks and you feel like you don't deserve or will you ever be that person you want to be? WELL God must of known what I needed because our Pastor preached on how YOUR LIFE FOLLOWS YOUR WORDS.
I started thinking about it as I was sitting there, and she is completely right. Not only in being healthier/loosing weight, but every aspect (money, relationships, parenting, etc). You even hear motivational speakers talk about the power of positive speaking -
But it's a bit more then positive thinking; it's that you should know that God's will for you is to be WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. Instead of saying "I'm always going to be fat.", or "I could NEVER do that", or "I will never be a runner".., we need to SPEAK IT AS IF IT WERE.
- I AM A HEALTHY WEIGHT
- I AM GOING TO DO THOSE WORK OUT'S
- I AM A RUNNER
No more 'debbie downer' here. I will continue to remember that your life follows your words and I will do everything in my power to make that truth.
I am excited about this week because the NEW #2weekchallenge is starting AND I get to go out of town to a B&B with my hubby!
Yea to the end of Debbie Downer. You are doing great and avoid the scale if need be it is a machine a man made. I love your reemerging postivity. thanks for post really and honest.!
ReplyDeletePositivity goes a LONG way to accomplishing your goals. A negative attitude does nothing but hold you back. I'm so glad you are embracing that and loving yourself!
ReplyDeleteLove the positive attitude! And when I got weighed for life insurance the scale said I was 5 lbs. heavier than my scale at home, how awful!! I've just decided that my scale is right and their's is wrong!! lol.
ReplyDeleteBelieving you can do something is the path to achievement, but I don't think you get there overnight. Confidence is achieved by succeeding at many small things first. Take a look back at how far you have come. Take some notes and look. Maybe you aren't looking back enough to see the successes you have ALREADY put in your cap. I had to do that several times.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Negativity gets no one anywhere. I need to follow this advice too. You are such a special person!! I am glad I was able to be there for you as you have been for me every week!
