Week Sixteen & Seventeen - Own It
At an
event this weekend, I spoke with a fellow volunteer, and what she said gave me
the chills. We were talking about weight loss, eating, sizes and the like. I
told her I was a size 18 but used to be an 8. She said to me in her little size
6 frame that she used to be a size 26. I couldn't believe it. And it's funny
how when you meet someone who's small and all you've known is their thin self,
that the person was NEVER overweight. I just couldn't picture her a pound over
what she was. What gave me the chills was that she lost the exact amount of
weight of my own goal - 108 pounds.
Of course at that point I needed details. I wanted to know how she
did it - how she could see it all the way through. She told me that she changed
the way she thought and the way she ate. Period.
I think that everyone's program is
different. You need to look at your strengths and weaknesses and see what would
work best for you. My friend simply cut out one bad thing after another but did
it over a period of several months to a year. She didn't do a "cold turkey" on
every bad eating habit overnight.
My personal demon is overeating - plain and simple. That's probably
why I'm a good candidate for RightSize because I needed something to curb my
appetite. The bad habits are dying off slowly (they still rear their ugly head
from time to time - let's be honest). But the more bad habits I change, the
more it shows!
