Even if I'm not feeling it. Even when I do not believe it. I keep telling myself the positive outcome is going to happen for me. This helps get me through the day.
TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND BE ACCOUNTABLE:
Do you manage your ups and downs? Do you speak kindly to yourself when you are feeling only the negative? Do you talk the positive talk even when you are not believing it in the moment?
Lately I have been faking it and not feeling it. When I start telling myself about all the "wrongs" how do I keep myself from believing that I am "the wrong" and will never make it "me right"? Each time the negative self talk sets in I counter it with repeated positive self talk. This is a must.
We believe what we hear repeatedly. Even known and obvious lies become truth as they are publicized and again and again in print, pictures, and sound bites.
One day at a time; or one hour; or one minute; or a non stop battle with each random thought. Sometimes we don't really believe in possibilities or in ourselves. This is when we must LIVE AS THOUGH WE BELIEVE IT. This is one of the few times lying to oneself can be positive.
Visualize what you want and how you want to live. Make this vision part of your daily life, real or imagined. Create the reality you want and focus on living it. Do this where weight loss and good health are concerned. Do this in all areas of your life.
SUCCESS COMES FROM FOCUS ON THE DESIRED OUTCOME. Those who succeed over a lifetime are focused on using each and every available resource to achieve their desired outcome. This drives their thougt process. When they see a tool or an obstacle, it appears to them as either a risk or an oportunity and it is treated accordingly.
MINUTE BY MINUTE NOTICE THE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO YOUR HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND A LIFETIME AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT. Adjust your focus and use these to your advantage. You will for see what you need as you remain focused on your desired outcome.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

Yes folks, I was Blessed and unexpectedly able to attend the OH conf in ATL this weekend. Even when it looked like it was to be snatched away at the last minute, I kept the faith and thought like it was mine. I had an amazing time with my roomie MsMartitaLinda! I arrived in a funk. Feeling all this weight gain and loathing the increaseing belly fat. My failure to follow my wl surgeons new plan was weighing me down. My apathy over getting back to shakes was shaming me. I left the conference with my spirits lifted and feeling like I can do this again. It is amazing the influence a good friend with a positive yet realistic outlook can have. Thank you MsMartita.
Got to meet MsNieceb in person too. She's awesome but I lost her in the shuffle and only wish I had time to get to know her better.
I also met a number of other brothers and sisters. Not posters to BAF, but perhaps lurkers. I don't know any of your screen names but I enjoyed meeting each of you. Hoping you'll come on out and post to BAF soon and often.
Then there are several oh folks I've met at past conferences. Seeing them again is always a treat. Most are not posters or lurkers on BAF; but friends are friends no matter what boards we meet on. It was OH in Rye, NY, 2009 where I first met MsMarta and we've been irl friends ever since.
MsMarta's pics are fantastic as always. You should know my hair is courtesy of her stylista skills.
Hoping to meet more of you ar future oh conferences!
