POSITIVE SELF-TALK

Sometimes it isn't about want we eat, it is about what we think or what we feel.  Regardless of what we are told, support is just that. It is just support but ultimately we are in charge of ourselves.  Nobody can care more about you that you.  So you have to believe in yourself.  We are the only ones that really sabotage our efforts.  There is a definite benefit to positive self-talk. 

The Olympics are about to start.  Each athlete has to go through gruelling workouts both mentally and physically.  The coach can only take them so far.  The rest has to be within themselves.  After all, they are seeking to be the best in the world not just good enough... or next week will be better.  They have each made a commitment to themselves to make them the best that they can be. 

That goes for each of us whether it is fear, worry, disappointment or any other negative thoughts.
Positive thoughts bring success to your mental well-being.  You are your own best friend but you can also be your own worst enemy. 

Make a commitment to be kind to yourself.  Surround yourself with positive thinkers.  We have all met toxic people that bring us down.  Fortunately, I personally don't have any at this moment.  It is all within oneself.  Mind over matter as Roger Bannister, Olympian runner believed.  He managed to keep his heart-rate down and overcome many obstacles.  You are what you eat, as Adele Davis used to say but you are also what you think. 

Today I was awarded a Bravo Sticker at Weight Watchers just for challenging the group and the leader.  I am trying to seek more out of the meetings to help encourage me.  You can get the inspiration and good wishes from others.  That is why I joined Weight Watchers but ultimately it can only be your trip through life and you have to decide how well you ride the roller coaster.
