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....
