I have copied this Project me sayings from Richard Simmons. It came with an old plan ,Deal A Meal plan back in the 80's. I read this daily to keep a positive mindset. Thought I share..

1. I admit I LOVE FOOD and I am addicted to it.

2. My weight BOTHERS ME and I know it's NOT HEALTHY.

3. I am overweight for the most part because I OVEREAT and DON'T EXERCISE ENOUGH.

4. I have BLAMED many people and many things for my fat, but I must admit I AM TO BLAME. I hold the fork.

5. I FORGIVE those who have made fun of me, judged me or put me down because of my weight.

6. I FORGIVE myself and FORGET about all the times I tried before.

7. Today I will make TIME for myself I will eat healthy and I will exercise.

8. I will not IGNORE,HIDE FROM or AVOID food. I will FACE food and not lean on it.

9. I realize food has NO POWER and will never solve any of my problems- past, present,or future.

10. I will be PATIENT with myself and not become COMPULSIVE and OBESSED with losing weight and exercising.

11.If I did'nt do great Yesterday, I will try HARDER today.

12. I will take a DAILY INVENTORY and be TRUTHFUL with myself.

13.I know now there are no EASY WAYS to do this. I know the only way to achieve my goal is through EXERCISE,EATING HEALTHY and STAYING MOTIVATED.

14. I will use my SENSE OF HUMOR today, for it heals loneliness,depression, insecurity and boredom.

15.This time I am doing this for ME.

16. I am TERRIFIC PERSON and I like myself RIGHT NOW no matter what I weigh.

17. The next time I have a CRAVING for anything I know is fattening or am tempted not to exercise. I will think about the NEW ME.and I will be strong.

18. I will take a look IN THE MIRROR and say, "I'm going to have a GREAT day".

19.I have a very POSITIVE OUTLOOK about "My Life".

20. I am DOING it! I am going ALL THE WAY!

21. I AM WORTH IT!!

This reminded me of Never Say Diet - my first experience with actually trying to lose weight. They are great!

Except #5. I'm not that good of a person that I'll forgive mean people.
