The number one thing I think about when starting to lose weight again is that I gave up. I did't reach my goals last time...so what it going to make this time any different. I get scared of where I was and how I did't progress. Or I remember how hard it was to start and I don't want to go through that again.
I didn't realize how much my past was affecting my ability to really try. All my motivation to keep going was overturned with negative emotions or thought from my past, I am letting the fear of my past affect my ability to succeed.
When I started my weightless plan a few days ago I put my goal to run the mile In 30 min. I was scared of trying. I thought it would be to hard. When I told my husband he told me know you can run it 15 min. I laughed, and cried and said no way....there is no way someone like me can run the mile in 15 min.
So for my work out that morning we timed how long it would take me to run the mile. The whole time we ran this is what I heard....
"You can do this"
"Keep going"
"Your almost there"
"You can do hard things"
Repeated over and over and over again so much that I started thinking it...and repeating it back. At the end of the run I looked down at the timer.
16.29
I RAN THE MILE IN 16 MIN AND 29 SECONDS!!!
I can do hard things, I can beat my goals, and achieve my dreams.....As soon as I let the past go.
There is no point holding on to the past when all it does is weakens you! Sure i'm still scared, nervous and not at all where I used to be...but hey that's what my Future is for! :)
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband that supports me, that believe I can do what I might think is the impossible. Weight loss is hard but that's what makes every pound you lose so rewarding!
Don't give, allow yourself to over come the things you once thought you couldn't do!
Until next time....
SPAZout,
Shay
