So I was reading part of this book last night and it states that by following certain key points/steps you can help yourself achieve the personal success you want in either living a healthier lifestyle or getting to your weight-loss goal. It reads:
Visualization: A mental picture is worth a thousand words. In your mind's eye envision your weight-loss before it happens (my insert: envision you living a healthier natural active lifestyle). Visualize all aspects of the new you from your appearance to your improved health. Remember, if you can see it, chances are very good you can make that healthy visual a reality. 
Results: I fell asleep last night trying to visualize myself thin. I woke up the next day and it took me about until 3:00 PM (after stopping and closing my eyes a couple of times to visit several mental locations and outfits) to finally zero into that person.."healthy/active me" with curly hair and honey-colored eyes, thinner; toned arms and legs, you know comfortable, determined, focused, and calmer and my scent was organically fresh, like lemons and the sea, yes very random... but I didn't think it would take me soooo long to get there, but it did. Maybe I just have too many things going on right now. OR maybe that's been one of my problems all these years..I knew that person existed but I never went there or tried to see her..or I was too afraid or didn't wanna try or it wasn't the right time or its just been too long. IDK! excuses..excuses. I have about one year before I hit the 20 year mark of NOT being the right weight and size. I've reached the healthy mind but just thinking about all those years that have passed is crazy and STILL 70 pounds to go (realistically 50 pounds). Can I do it?? Well, today I did visualize and I moved forward. I saw me at a healthy weight and free and finally matching my innards with my outers (if that makes sense) and it felt good and made me want to keep fighting for the healthy me...I wanna be her...I can be her..I will be her. I am her because today I saw me.
What about YOU?? Have you visualized yourself thin or healthier or much more active?
As you can see I posted some outfits I see myself wearing and below is the Dahon folding bike (helmet included) that will get me around town. LOVE riding bike! And for some reason when I think of the healthy me at the beach I see me dressed as a surfer girl...never tried surfing..but maybe it's a goal to look forward to...
