I’m going to be skinny and I’m going to be successful
I said this to myself over and over under my breath 3/4 of the way as I speedily stomped home. Probably a good 15 minutes of ‘crazy lady talking to herself’.
I got very, very upset, was on the verge of tears and needed affirmation that I would change my life. Saying this out loud to myself over and over for a period of time, as a mantra, makes it seem like reality.
Dairy avoidance had gone very well today so far. For lunch I ordered a spicy chicken wrap with small side salad and tortilla chips and made sure there was to be no cheese or sour cream. Success! And starting tomorrow I am going to make an honest effort at avoiding sugar (except from fruit!) and white flour products. I say starting tomorrow because this morning’s Fruit ‘n’ Fiber cereal, which we finished today, had added sugar (unfortunately) and the wrap I had for lunch was made of white flour. I think I’ll include white rice in this elimination experiment.
I’ll let you know how it goes!
As for being successful, well…I’m just gonna be great. I don’t mean weight-wise. I mean personally and professionally. I’ve been feeling inadequate, and I want to change that.
