Kirstie Alley has a new show on tv. It's called Kirstie Alley's Big Life on A&E. She has had a successful career in the entertainment world and has been skinny and large all in the public eye. She had also been torn to shreds by the media because of her weight. I don't know how she has been able to handle it! I would probably have used the razor blades by now! She is a much stronger woman than I.
So, she weighs herself and asks her assistant to give her her weight in British measurements. (14lbs = 1 stone) Soon she realizes that the "stones" are more than she counted on. She walks out of the room ready to give up! Arms in the air and feet stomping.
How many times have I done the same? Ignorance is bliss, denial ain't just a river in Egypt! If I ignore the fat or the numbers or the fact that the dryer didn't shrink my jeans, then I'm not really getting fatter. It's just water weight left over from my period! I just need one good pee..... Ppsshh!
To justify the weight in her head and stay on track, Kirstie remembers that she wants to focus on how many stones she wants to lose not so much how many stones she weighs total! She comes back in the room with more determination than before!!! Like I said, a stronger woman than I.
Somehow, Ms. Alley can manipulate her mind to get where she is still eager to change. Even after a moment of discouragement.
In my path to health, so many bumps are going to pop up in my way, I have to find what manipulation will work for me. What can I tell my inner dialogue to get it over those bumps? Either " I only need to lose 10 pounds this month " or " 1 dress size before spring break ". Even if our daily manipulation changes like our outfits, work it out!
Today, my inner dialogue keeps yelling that the gym is going to be too tough, so now I get to yell back, you are playing it up more than needs be. It will be over before I know it :) What will you yell back???
