Disappointment or Discontentment

So here we are at week 11 and I am so stoked about this past week! This week I have lost the most amount of weight in one week so far. There is a project I have been working on that I hope to be able to discuss with you early next week. Plus I hit the half way point of my goal a full 2 weeks early! Before I get to my weigh in and weight posting I would like to share something with you.
Earlier this week a friend posed a question to me, a question I have heard many times over the past few weeks. The question was “Isn’t it hard not to eat more than you do?” My answer was “No, it isn’t hard.” At that moment I saw a look of shock and what seemed to be a look of disappointment. Then my friend said “There is no way I could eat like that!”
For the majority of the week I have pondered on our conversation. You see, up until November I would eat and eat and eat, whatever I wanted with no regard to the consequences. It was so bad that I would eat when I was bored, I would snack even though I wasn’t hungry. I would finish a meal and would immediately have dessert. My portions were out of control, heck let’s be honest, I thought “portion control” was a joke! So how was it possible for me to honestly answer “No, it isn’t hard”!?!? I would love to say that it’s strictly my will power but that would be a lie. There is no possible way I could have achieved the results I have without Healthe Trim. It truly does control my cravings and I am NEVER hungry. So I realized, with the cravings gone, and my persistence to make a LIFE CHANGE, my diet and workout routine has now become my norm it has become my habit. I also realized what I perceived as a look of disappointment was in fact a look of discontentment. I believe my friend is unhappy with himself and he doesn’t believe he can change.
Let me address everyone that is reading this, YOU CAN CHANGE! You can, you just have to decide to change and commit to the change. Don’t go through life with the attitude of I can’t! As I tell my children: “Can’t is a forbidden word in this house”. One of my favorite quotes by Henry Ford is “If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.” Eliminate the word “CAN’T” from your life and you will be surprised at how your life will improve.
Now to the weekly results!
As of Friday 1/22/10
Weigh in: 231.2 pounds
Weekly Loss: 5.9 pounds
Total Weight Loss: 41 pounds
Please remember to check back in on Monday or Tuesday of next week, I hope to have a post on a project I have been invited to work on! Until then... You CAN eliminate CAN’T from your life!
