Posts Tagged ‘Losing Weight’

I am losing weight for me, because I love me.

My decision to lose weight is a choice, not an obligation. I am choosing to make my well-being a priority.

I have made this choice because I care about myself. No one is forcing this decision on me - and I can stop at any time - but I choose to continue because I am looking forward to the reward of a slimmer and more energized me.

I do not see my weight loss plan as deprivation. I view it as an investment that I know will lead to greater good, to a level of satisfaction with myself and my life that food can never give me.

I am choosing to fill my body with good foods that promote a healthy life. I am choosing to make time to exercise. I make these choices because I know they are what I need to be healthy and whole.

I treat myself as kindly as I would a cherished friend. If I invite a dear friend into my home, I do not serve her junk and neither do I deny her the healthy food she needs to feel nourished and satisfied. The food I set in front of her is prepared out of love and a desire for her contentment.

I treat myself with the same amount of consideration and respect, planning, cooking and eating as my own honored guest.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. Do I see my weight loss as a choice or an obligation?
  2. In what ways do I honor my body?
  3. In what ways do I need to improve the way I treat my body?

I am proud to reach out to those who can help me instead of leaning on food for comfort.

I am proud to reach out to others, rather than relying on food for comfort, because I know this is sign that I am growing and maturing. I am not ashamed that I need comfort at times and I am a healthier person because I have learned how to ask for help.

I am learning to tune into my feelings so I can view them as a source of life and creativity. I do not run from my feelings or hide behind food. While facing my feelings head on is difficult, I am proud of myself that I have embraced this challenge.

My need for support in the process of losing weight is not a weakness. Nearly every great endeavor in life requires a team of some sort. Why should my weight loss be any different?

When I ask for help, I show that I am grounded in reality. I am no longer hiding behind food and I am proud of this fact.

I will not expect others to look down on me for my struggles. No one is perfect! Everyone has their own set of challenges. When I am open to sharing my own challenges with others, I create a pathway that allows them to share their struggles with me. In this way, we all benefit.

Reaching beyond food and opening myself up to people rewards me, not only in my appearance, but even more importantly in the ever-deepening relationships I am developing with those who care about me.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. In what circumstances do I tend to hide behind food?
  2. Do I avoid opening up to people when I am in need?
  3. Who could I approach the next time I need support in my weight loss efforts?
