Hello, Fellow Sojourners -

First of all, follow-up:  How did yesterday go?  Did you make your list of “Why’s” so that you can SEE that you have some inspiring reasons to lose the weight?

Did you read it out loud so that you could HEAR yourself SAYING your ‘why’?

If you didn’t, just jump in today, make your list, read it out loud and add this one twist today: SHARE it with someone else of why you’re inspired to lose weight.  In fact, I would throw out there to pick three people to share it with if you are willing.

Here’s the “why” behind the “why”:  Because a conversation is operating in the background of our minds and our lives that we’ve given real credence to about how we’re not worth it or it’s not worth it and about how it’s impossible to lose this weight (almost like that little asterisk at the bottom of the skinny ‘after’ picture on a diet commercial: * Results not typical).

We have all these reasons for why we can’t do it and we validate the “can’ts” in our lives repeatedly.

So, when we make our list of what’s inspiring to us and we say it out loud and share it with others, we are confronting our excuses and old conversation with a new inspiring reasons and a new conversation.  By the way, this isn’t “positive thinking” in the most benign sense, this is placing thoughts of inspiration and possibility into your life where thoughts of resign and impossibility have reigned.

And this isn’t the whole kit and kaboodle on day 2, we’re just taking steps towards seeing and  deconstructing the lie and transforming our lives to a place of freedom.

Because this isn’t really about the weight — this is about an unempowering belief system that operates within our lives and it’s reflected in our weight.

So, for today, make your list of why you want to lose the weight, at the end of it, I added “And I’m worth it” (even though I felt a little like Mike Myers on Saturday Night Live “And doggone it, people like me…ha!)

Today, I’m going to share it with three people. 

So, who’s with me?

(stay tuned, tomorrow we’re talking about the Power of Intention…)
