An interesting idea

Hello again!

I had an interesting experience over the holidays which I have just remembered to get down on here.

While I was at a get together, someone asked me if I could have a little cheat, think it was a piece of Christmas cake. Something in my brain said Fat me wants it but Thin me laughs at your Christmas cake with it's poisonous yet crumbly Wensleydale sidekick!

Fat me

I assume a lot of you are like me and are loosing a fairly substantial amount of weight to lead better, more fulfilling lives. Changing something like this is a big step, one that I have wanted to do all my life, succeeding will definitely change me as a person. Even now I feel different than I did at the start, I used to say if I can loose the weight and now it's a when.

So while it borders on schizophrenia, I would suggest creating in your heads what the thin you will be like.
What does thin you do at the weekend?
Will thin you meet someone new?
Will they enjoy playing sports with the kids?
Think of all the things you are going to be doing and adventures you will have.

But before you dismiss this as just some rather clumsy cliche, think about the psychological usefulness of this act.

1. By separating out your good habits from the bad, you are analysing your life and what needs to change.
2. By creating thin you, you are creating a goal far richer than a number on a scale. It's the life you want and deserve.
3. Thin you has never failed. Fat you may have been stronger up to now but that has changed.

Thin Me

I'm no psychologist but that seems like some pretty good justification to me.

Anyway that's enough of the scary and rhetorical workings of my mind.
