It is so easy to focus on the negative! What I want to think about goes as follows: I can't believe how fast the weight came back on, its not coming off fast enough, why did I blow it and eat too much junk the other day, blah, blah, blah.
That fact is, there is nothing I can do about those thoughts and, lets face it, facts of my life. It is, what it is, right? I think that I'm not the only one out there who defeats themself when it comes to their weight loss and body image. Its hard to get past.
But, there is hope!! I know this is so cliche, but thinking positive can do wonders! Instead of focusing on the negative I need to focus on the postive. Easier said than done though. In order to do this, I'll have to try to be positive the majority of the time.
For those of you, like me, who focus on the negative, here's some positive things to focus on: Wow, I actually got some activitiy today!, It felt good to turn down that brownie yesterday!, I feel so much better when I eat healthy!.
So, try to focus on three positive things you are doing right! Whenever you feel yourself being negative, think it away, and focus on something positive you've done today!
You go girl! You are sooooo right! Positive thoughts will abound today.
