"Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise."
Being honest with yourself requires a couple of basic skills, both of which can be deliberately coaxed along and developed as a function of self motivation.
*The first is that we must look into two mirrors, one on the wall and the other in our mind's eye and try hard to see ourselves as we really are. We will never see ourselves precisely as others do because each set of eyes perceives everything in a subjective fashion, but starting with an honest self assessment is a good place to begin.
*The second requires the courage to ask others who we feel close to how they see and experience us. This can be a rather awkward process for many people but is of the essence if developing a fuller and more honest picture of yourself. Listening and soaking the feedback of others in can be one of the most difficult things we ever do - But, it is not a negotiable requirement.
You know what I'm saying.....be honest.......write down all BLTs (bites licks tastes!)~ be honest....man up to say, No, I can't work out today....but that is OK! ~Be honest....uh yeah , those pants are getting a little tight! ~Just be honest! Our clothes don't....um....forget! :) It is OK....& I feel really ok to every once in a while~~~ go backwards. But just learn from it! This helps me get back on track. It helps me know I CAN get back on track. How many many many times have we NOT?!!!! Tooo many to count! So to me it is empowering to see me ~ well, fall & brush myself off & go again! YES! I CAN DO IT!!!! Just because I have lost the weight do not mean the battle is won....I will fight this fight everyday!
I really am having a time with enjoying exercise. Sometimes I really enjoy it. I USUALLY feel better after~~~~ But, right now....not so much! But at least today, unlike last week I actually felt better when I worked out.! kind of......I have had a nasty cold ...or sinus...or allergy crap(probably a combo of all) Anywho~~~Taylor & I walked 2 miles today! She loves the outdoors!
