‘Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality’ ~ Ralph Marston

Posted by aino on September 8th, 2008 |Filed Under motivation |

I went on a vacation, and I guess it must have been good, because I’ve come back feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.I’m also feeling..dare I say it? Optimistic. I haven’t lost any weight recently. In fact, I think I may have even gained some.  I am not sure how much since I haven’t gotten on the scale in a while.

Am I deluding myself? No, not at all. I am not seeing a skinny person staring back at me when I look into a mirror. I know how each and every morsel of food that’s going into my mouth could have been chosen better. I am not under any delusions, really, that I can eat the way I do, and lose weight.

But I still feel optimistic. For the first time in years, for some odd reason, when I tell myself “I am successful and beautiful”, I almost believe it. Even if it’s for a minute. And I can smile. And that, more than anything, is what motivates me today to start blogging again. To start doing better. To start the process of losing weight. It feels like I want to lose weight just because I can.

    I’m so glad to read you’re feeling better about things. I’m sure this new state of mind will physically manifest itself somehow.
    And good for you for not getting on the scale! :)
