Good Morning. I am in process both with my weight and feelings. It hard to change how I think. Spent over fifty years telling myself I am a failure and I can not to whatever. And I am not good enough. Now I find myself here and trying to come to grips with all the feelings that go with that. This is all tied into my weight loss and how I view it. In my head I realize I have accomplished a lot. But my feelings are something. I keep waiting the the other shoe to drop and prove I cannot do it and fail again. What I need to do is play more positive tapes in my head. When I feel the negative creep in I need to recognize it and deal with it and play those positive tapes in my head.
I will continue the quest I am on and work with my feeling and thoughts. I am not going to give up the fight. I can rejoice in my successes and my failures. They are all part of me.
Well that is where I am today. I am going to feel good about myself and move on. Talk to you later.

Remember ... don't try to replace the "negative" thoughts with "positive" ones ... simply identify the "horrible, awful, terrible" thoughts you have and tweak them to be more realistic and less "horrid." For example ... 1. I will fail and gain back all of the weight I have lost. Tweak that to ...2. It is true, if I return to my old habits it is very likely I will gain weight again but if I stick with my new habits I know how to avoid the weight gain. The first one leaves us living in fear of what seems to be the inevitable. I think sometimes we set ourselves up for this to happen. Even though we "hate" it we are "comfortable" with it. The second one still acknowledges the real possibility of weight gain but gives us credit for change ... and the ability to stay conscious about our thoughts. It is not so filled with fear ... it is filled with POWER .... our own POWER. Try that. See if that helps.
