I'm changing things up a bit. Food is raw, exercise is a given :-), what's changing is NO SCALE. I've been thinking about this for awhile, and here is how it's gonna go. No scale for 30 days....the only time I will get on the scale is when I have first put a little piece of paper with my goal weight, 120.0 lbs written on it, over the window on the scale, and I plan to do that often, very often. Otherwise, I do not want any other weight number entering my consciousness. Now this is gonna be a trust walk because...well, I know you understand. But I do have a pair of shorts that I will use as a pantsometer that I'll be using once a week, and I will take measurements weekly too. And maybe after the 30 days I'll let someone else read the scale reading....we'll see about that.....
I am going to be focusing on doing my manifestation work, clearing old energy patterns and beliefs, and removing fear, resentment, and other negativity from my diet. I am going by Albert Einstein's remark that you cannot solve a problem on the same level of consciousness that created it....so focusing on food and exercise are not the way. I know what to do with food, I know how to be active, I know how to find joy. But honestly, keeping my focus so honed in on weight loss is not seeming to be working. In fact in some perverse way, it has created resistance in me. My bodyself is saying 'stop trying to strong arm me, will ya, or I'm not budging'. So I will hold the food and the exercise loosely, and I will find and focus on all the other reasons I want to eat raw and be physically active....already that feels so much better. This morning I planned a shorter bike ride, but once I got going I went longer just for the fun and joy of it. The good news for now is that clearly I know how to maintain my weight! LOL
What I know for certain, is that to manifest what I want, I have to focus my mental and emotional energies and attention on what I want, not on trying to remove what I don't want, so even the phrase 'lose weight' is counterproductive. So I'll be working with languaging and thinking and envisioning things differently. I'm very excited about this, about doing what I know how to do and applying it to what feels like this "last frontier" issue of weight. This feels important and powerful....and I'm proud of myself for being willing to lose the damn scale..... No more bowing to THAT little god on the floor! LOL
So here's to raw, active, lean, strong, radiant, joyful, successful, and beautiful! I plan to make this easy for myself by finding the path of least resistance and allowing the Universe to do the work. I have always known that this is how it would work for me once I found the right way to eat, and now I'm ready to take this path and release the old paradigm weight loss ideas.
Anyone want to join me in this adventure?
