Welcome back!

Nancy & Shanna

We go back some 20 years, Nancy and me.  This weekend, she came to my home from Northern California along with her hubby, and the first thing out of her mouth was “Have you been losing weight?”  See why I love the girl?

I don’t know if I’ve lost weight.  I no longer weigh myself.  I’ve packed both scales up in the back nether regions under the bathroom sinks and I’m only using a tape measure to check my progress.  Yes, I’ve seen progress and I’m continuing to work mentally to re-form the shape of my body.

I understand that the very thoughts and conclusions inside my mentality are what show up as my body, so I’ve disciplined my mind to think only the thoughts that I want to show up.  Like:

• The specific size of my hips is xxx inches (you don’t need to know!~)
• When I hold my arm up in the air, mentally massage all excess down to the pit, and then mentally disappear it, I have an arm without wings.
• I expect 2 inches to disappear off my stomach

You may think it’s woo woo, but I am the keeper of the tape measure, and it’s not baloney!

Are you looking for some inspiration to get going on this change me mentally project for your New Year’s Resolution? You’ll get a lot of help by reading My Cats Have Seen Me Naked. I’d love to autograph one just for you. It’s cool, because you don’t have to wonder if it’ll fit.  Trust me.  It’ll fit.

Love you,

Pat

One of the most helpful things you can do as an overweight or obese woman to support yourself while you are doing mental dieting and mental exercise  is to picture what you will look like when your task has been completed.  Get a really clear picture of what your goal will look like.  Think about that picture while you are doing your mental work each day.

(You ARE doing your mental work three times each day, right? I think the mandate to “pray without ceasing” means to continuously think the goal of your mental work every time you become consciously aware of your project, and then, three times a day, sit down specifically to consciously focus on your goals.)

Some folks have called this technique “visualization.”  All it means is creating a mental image inside your mentality of what you desire.  It’s a three-step process:

1.  Visualize your desire as an image

2. Think your desire until you arrive at a place of absolute conviction inside your own mentality that what you desire is right and good for you

3.  Enjoy the likeness of the image that appears in your life.  (It should look just like your desire.)

You might recognize some of these words because they have been used elsewhere in your life.  Far be it from me to tell you this is what was meant!  You’re a bright light your own sweet self. 

Take on the day!

Love,

Pat
