Why change?

People can change until they take their last breath.
-Alton R. Jorgenson-

Why change if what you are doing is working? Your ability to change is your biggest advantage in life. And unlike an animal we have the ability to create and change our circumstances. And although sometimes it feels as those change is not possible, and stuck may be the word that comes into your mind frequently. And even if the solution isn't what you may think it is I am sure there is "another option" to enjoy your life and become the full wonderful person that you are.



The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. 



 -Wayne Dyer-



If you feel as though you need a change and you are in the holding pattern, try asking yourself a few questions:
  • What is stopping me from making the changes I know I need to make?
  • What do I have to loose?
  • Will this change bring improvement to my life?
  • Are there things in your life that need to happen before this change occurs? If so what?
  • Do you really want to change your weight, your life and/or your perception?
  • Is this change for you or for someone else?



These questions may help you through your weight loss journey. Becuase part of weight loss is getting in touch with your inner feelings, the ones that are normally stuffed when eating. Be aware of these new feelings and what you really want within your life. And remember if you are having a hard time expressing or dealing with these "extra" feelings seek professional help or check out free support through local groups in your area such as OA (Overaters Anonymous).

Or try out Free Online Chats and Forums:
Livestrong.com mentions that:
"The Mayo Clinic suggests that many individuals who are trying to lose weight often benefit from behavioral support. If you struggle with motivation or negative eating or lifestyle habits, such as giving in to food cravings or leading a sedentary lifestyle, a peer support group may help you stay motivated. Support groups can help you learn new strategies for long-term weight loss and give you encouragement when you experience difficulties or frustration."


Life is worth the change and although your feet may drag at first things will improve. 


Be the change you want to see in the world.
