You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Rom 13:9)

Self-talk really does work, whether it is positive or negative. Lift your spirits and prolong your motivation every single day by telling yourself that you can and will succeed.You may even find that it is helpful to say self-affirming phrases out loud. Your roommates may think you’ve gone crazy, but when you find it is quite effective, you won’t mind. 

Look in the mirror today, and say, “Nothing is going to stop me from meeting my weight loss goal.

editor’s note~~I honestly believe the self-talk and positive thoughts about weight loss, due to our prior experiences, are more difficult to apply than the diet itself.

It is so easy for me to be positive because of Christ. It is very natural for me to say positive things on the behalf of another person. I look for what Christ sees in them. It is as natural as breathing. But for myself, I say terrible things and I think terrible thoughts. I am judgmental toward myself, and I am everything that would turn a person off on Christianity if they heard how I treated myself.

As I mentioned I am working on that and seeking positive and upbeat articles so that I can become kinder to myself.

Our brief article today had a very valid sentence. I hope you will join in with me and say it daily. I thought this was worthy to repeat for you and for me. “Nothing is going to stop me from meeting my weight loss goal.”  I truly believe that even with that pronoun “me” placed in there. Give it a try, daily, and let me know how you are doing.
