What a GREAT week!

I have resisted temptation over and over again this week!! I have done so well I am afraid for next week, I don't know if it will be great again or if I will completely fall off the wagon. I am such a critic of myself. I got an email today from The Biggest Loser that reads:

Admit it, You're Terrific
Learning to praise yourself can keep you on the diet track.

Here's what happens: you're about to go to the gym, when you think, "Why bother? I'm already so out of shape and overweight and lazy, I might as well just sit here."

Your negativity crushes your chances at changing your life AND your body.

In the same way you taught yourself to be your worst critic, you can just as easily teach yourself to be your most loving coach. Success begins when you stop being so hard on yourself and celebrate everything you have going for you.Try this simple exercise:

What do you like about yourself right now? Take out a piece of paper and make a list of all your likeable qualities. Keep going until this list is as long as you can make it. You might include things like: I have sexy eyes, I have thick hair, I can make people laugh, I am a good cook, I'm creative, I'm trustworthy, I'm a good friend, or I'm intelligent.

Keep adding to this list as you get in better shape. In fact, read it to yourself whenever you get the chance.

Positive thinking can help you develop self acceptance and body confidence. So go ahead and like yourself. Right now!


I also saw a clip of Ellen this week and she is doing a Life List. I am going to check this out a little more and make one of my own. I never really have set any goals for myself and think that is one reason I am so critical of myself. My first goal is to become a more outgoing person. I am really shy and even starting this blog was pretty hard for me...LOL

Here's to a great weekend, I am not even going to have a cheat meal. Maybe that will keep me on track with my no cheats YEAH
