Since I have had this week off of work, it has given me a lot of time to reflect and to continue my behaviour therapy work with Beck's Diet Solution. I'm training my brain to think like a thin person since I have had over 30 years experience being a "thick" person. Therefore, it is a work in progress since there is a lot of rewiring that needs to be done. But I now have NO CHOICE and OH Well in my daily vocabulary.
Part of my therapy was to create a list of the advantages of losing weight and I would like to share them with you instead of keeping them to myself like I have been for the past 50 days.
Beth's Advantages to Losing Weight
1. Being obese will NOT be my legacy
2. My family will no longer be concerned about my health
3. Be able to fit
4. Healthier lifestyle for my future
5. Be able to look at myself in pictures & the mirror
6. To look better & more attractive
7. More confidence
8. Smaller sizes, more stores, more clothes
9. Won't feel so self-conscious
10. Feel better physically
11. More stamina & energy
12. Better impression
13. Feel in control
14. Less self critical
15. Greater sense of self worth
16. Like myself better
17. Happier
So this is why I'm doing what I'm doing!! Why I'm say NO CHOICE and OH Well on a daily basis!!

Wow, I have to just tell you how inspired I am with reading your blog! I've been browsing the weight loss blogs to try and find some motivation. I'm just starting my weight loss journey and I have about 50 lbs to lose. My goal is run to a marathon and I nearly came to tears seeing the pic of you crossing the finish line! Good for you! Keep it up and thanks for posting such a great blog!!!
