Shift your thinking
By blogadmin | February 13, 2008
What did I do tonight?? Well it wasn’t exactly exciting enough to cause fireworks, but it made me feel great.
I cleaned out my wardrobe.
All the clothes that made me look or feel fat and frumpy went in a pile.
All the clothes I can fit into went at one end, the ones with a few more kilos to go in the middle and the one that are 20kgs off down the other end.
I tell you, you need to do this. It’s like I’ve been shopping, I now have all these extra clothes to wear.
I needed to actually try everything on as I still think I’m bigger than I am and those ‘nicer’ clothes won’t fit me. They do. Now I have no excuse not to wear nice clothes every day. I needed to actually see for real that I wasn’t 133.5kgs any more. I know the scales say I’m 118.5kgs, but I still felt so much bigger than I am. I needed to shift my thinking.
This was a very liberating and uplifting feeling.
Anyone who has been up and down the weight see saw would know this feeling. You have clothes in your wardrob in 6 sizes and you feel like you have nothing to wear. It just takes a little organisation, but I swear you will have clothes that will help motivate you to stay on track. I’m not talking that elusive little black dress that you last wore in 1995, I’m talking current clothes that will help you feel like you fit in again, RIGHT NOW!!!!!
That’s the important thing. You want to start feeling fashionable, sexy and attractive along your weight loss journey, not just at the end….because guess what!!! There is no end to a weight loss journey. If you have ever been overweight you are on that journey for life baby. You may not be actively shedding weight but maintaining your goal weight will require just as much effort. I know this because I’ve lost weight, not made the effort and put it all back on again. Never again!!!!
