Had a bad night with my ex, we split four years ago and he always get depressed about how ugly he is, how noone will be with him, he never has any money etc........ every year since I have known him he says..... can't wait for so-so year to start this is when its gonna all change but I said to him today.... that you life isn't suddenly gonna ping on jan1st....your not gonna win the lottery on that day, you'll not meet the woman of your dreams.....it just doesn't happen that way, things don't always just fall into place like that..... I said if he stopped smoking it would start a chain of events.... he would drink less alcohol......he would therefor be less depressed have more money to invest in making more of himself with nicier clothes and nicer hair, nice metrosexual prducts which would therefore make him more attractive and more appealling thus landing himself a dream girl....... but he has to start with a leap of faith..... i thus then said I started my weightloss journey on the 23rd september a date that means nothing at all but now means the beginning of a chain of events in my life, I started at 19stone4 and looks like I will be around 15stone13 on the 1st of Jan and half way to my goal, if I'd have opted for the wait til the new year approach I could be over 20stone so it just shows that getting started in the present helps, I think that we can become obsessed but obsession comes from fear and if you let go of your fears and trust yourself you will find that like icemoose says we can make the right decisions most of the time, we know when we are having a blowout we can find an excuse as to why we carry on in bad behaviours but in the end it really doesn't make you feel any better it doesn't bring you closer to your life goals, losing weight for me is just the start of change it will give me a sense of achievement, i don't think that alone will bring me everything that i want but importantly I will see that something that seemed impossible can become possible and that will change how I feel about other obstacles...... how I tackle them it. That leap of faith will start a chain of events in which i am not sure what they will lead too, but I'm looking forward to the journey.
Achieving your goals always start with 3%.....you can achieve your goals because you will always be that bit closer to your goal
