Your advantages of healthy eating and losing weight.
I have been reading the Beck Diet Solution. I think it's a good book. One thing you're asked to do is to make a list of all the advantages of healthy eating and losing weight. Dr. Beck says to read those advantages to yourself out loud in the morning and evening. I think it's such a good idea.
- I will feel better physically. - I'll be able to get up and down off the floor more easily. - I will be able to wear a smaller size. - I will be much happier when I look in the mirror. - I will be in better health. - My pieces & parts (back, knee, foot, shoulder, etc) & those pains will improve. - I won't be embarrassed to eat around other people. - I will feel that I have really accomplished something important. - My family will be proud of me. - I will feel less self conscious when I perform. - I will do more things. - I will feel more in control of this aspect of my life. - My lab numbers will be in a normal range. - I can avoid becoming a diabetic. - I will have food sanity - which I have wanted for a long time. - I will be able to look at myself in a photograph and smile. - I will be more active with my grandson. What are yours? |
I will feel like a valuable member of society.
Maybe I won't feel like hiding. I will have more confidence. I will be able to clip my toenails comfortably. I will stop having foot problems. I will not have fears of not fitting on the roller coaster rides. My dog will not slide off my lap. I will not be embarrassed eating in front of others. I will not be embarrassed at buffets. I will be able to shop at normal clothing stores! |
I have read this book and made the list, which I still refer to.
My favorite item (I'm too shy to share them all) was always: I will be thinner than her. I left it vague because there were always so many 'hers'. My sister (sibling rilvary), ex-girlfriends, people you think are mean but pretty, etc. It is a great thing to do. |
This is such a good idea. I will have to get started on my list! Thanks for sharing!

I will be able to shop in clothing stores that aren't specialized for larger sizes
I will increase my self esteem, and feel a great sense of accomplishment that I overcame my fat demon I will know that I've probably not only added years to my life, but those years will have such a higher quality to them I never want to wonder again if someone has said or done something because of my weight I will feel like a valuable member of society. you're totally a valuable member of society right now and would be at any weight, couldn't pass that one by without adding that! |
These are nice...
One of my bigggies would be: I will be able to travel without worrying about not fitting in the seatbelt on the plane or having to sit at an awkward, uncomfortable angle for the entire flight so I don't feel like I'm squashing the person in the seat next to me. |
-I won't have to hide behind people in pictures
-I will be able to confidently shop with my friends, instead of sneaking off into the plus-sized department. -i will have a better chance of having healthy children some day - I'll finally feel like I can take the next big steps in my life - People will see me the way I've always seen myself - I will feel healthier, my skin looks better and my tummy won't hate me - I will finally be in control of my eating and weight gain I think I really needed this post today.... |
I love this!
~I will have way more energy ~I will not want to cry when I go shopping for clothes ~I will not feel ashamed when I bump into people from my (much thinner) past ~I will be able to go "shopping" in my own closet of beautiful clothes that haven't fit me in a longgg time ~I will want to go the beach, amusements parks, and go on vacation again |
Love this thread :D
- Agree with above poster 'be thinner than her' [insert lots of people] - Be comfortable with my body - Be proud of myself - Feel sexy when I'm around my BF and when I wear clothes - Not have to lie about my weight - Be beautiful in my future wedding pictures - Be able to get pregnant and have healthy babies - Shop shop shop and not be afraid of not fitting into clothes~ - Feel confident to come OUT of the fitting rooms instead of hiding inside - Be able to click down when on exercise machines (it starts at 150 lbs so I have to click up from there) - Live a long life with my bf growing old together without complications - Overall health - Not have to untag loads of pictures on Facebook/retake pictures all the time/hide behind people in photographs - Feel comfortable at the beach (maybe even in a two piece :goodvibes:) - Live life to the fullest and do things I am not brave enough to do now (parasail, scuba dive, water ski, snowboarding) |
