Heathly Choices For Life



	Inspirational Thoughts

Many of the aches and pains I experience are symptoms of a deep
process, a process of healing and cleansing our heart and soul.

I will acknowledge the feeling, feel the energy, let it pass through
me, then watch for the lesson to appear and the pain to dissipate.

I value what I have learned of my past

I do not get where I want to go in one leap. I get there one step at
a time.

My faith will keep me going through those moments in between steps.

I can force myself to put one foot in front of the other and do what
needs to be done.

One power we all have is the ability to redefine what we believe. I
can learn to see things in a new way.

I am open to the new hopes and dreams of today.

Whenever I find myself drifting away, losing touch with myself,
jumping from the present moment to some far off point in the future,
I will remind myself to get back in my body.

I will do things that energize me and charge my soul.

I can change my beliefs and make new decisions.

I will let myself discover some new, better, sunnier beliefs about
myself and my life.

I can forgive myself for what I have done wrong, what I have done
badly and what I think I could have done better.

I am willing to go through any and all obstacles for recovery.

Today I am willing to focus, push forward, and go the distance.

I will begin taking better care of myself than I ever have before.

Punishing, criticizing, repressing, and denying won't bring the
feelings, the growth or the results I want.

The harder I push the more relentlessly I demand perfection, the
worse I feel.

I will take time throughout each day to tend to my needs just as I
would tend to someone I loved dearly.

Taking better care of myself will add to my life.

Believe in Yourself

Set your standards high

You deserve the best.

Try for what you want

And never settle for less.

Believe in yourself

No matter what you choose.

Keep a winning attitude

And you can never lose.

Think about your destination

But don't worry if you stray

Because the most important thing

Is what you've learned along the way.

Take all that you've become

To be all that you can be.

Soar above the clouds

And let your dreams set you free.

TOP 10 WAYS TO DEAL WITH A BINGE

1. SIDESTEP BLAME

At first don't worry about why you lost momentum. You can examine the reasons later. Push aside your guilt and regret for the time being, or these feelings will lock you in a vicious circle of overeating.

2. MAKE THE CHANGE NOW!

Take steps to turn things around. Identify the problem that triggered you to binge, then identify your most effective motivators, the things you must do to begin helping yourself.

3. ADMIT IT

Denial is not your friend. It only encourages you to continue this destructive behavior. Your meeting is a good place in which to admit that you need support.

4. EXAMINE WHAT HAPPENED

Once your turnaround is underway, think about why you had a binge. Did you simply lose track of the program? Or did something trigger this; an argument, a stressful situation at work, a chaotic episode at home, depriving yourself of a food you enjoy? Knowing why you strayed off course will help you with the next step ...

5. CLEAR THE WAY ...

... to avoid the next "Binge". Decide what you will do the next time a "trigger" episode occurs. Make plans that are specific and easy to carry out; a 5 minute walk, writing in your journal, listen to music, or phone someone.

6. SEEK ENCOURAGEMENT

Whether it be from your WW class or someone you are close to. The world is filled with people who have overcome one difficulty after another to reach their goal - you can too!

7. CONGRATULATE YOURSELF

Give yourself credit for every successful day you complete and always look at the positive side.

8. KEEP A VISUAL LOG

Do not measure your success day to day, or even week to week, but look at your progress month to month. Perhaps a month ago you did not like water and now you are enjoying it, or fruits and vegetables are now on your plate to eat and not just look pretty. Be sure to share your success at your next class.

9. REMIND YOURSELF

Frequently remind yourself how much more pleasant life is when you are on track, feeling good about yourself and taking one day at a time, working the program.

10. START LIKING YOURSELF

Now that you know it is worth the effort, start liking yourself, and using positive self talk.
