Feeling Fabulous!

 I weighed in at Weight Watchers on Wednesday and lost another 3.2 lbs this week. Since rejoining Weight Watchers  I have lost a total of 14 lbs in three weeks and since joining the Dr Oz Challenge I have lost 11.2 lbs. This most recent weight loss of course excites me but unfortunately, my excitement is short lived. I hear those voices in my head once again. Voices that I believe belong to my family and friends who have seen me fail multitude of times. Voices so real I can almost hear them say: "here she goes again, only to fail one more time". But as dig deeper, I realize these negative voices that are laced with doubt come from deep within me, it is my voice. Somehow I want to believe it will be different this time but then I realize EVERY time is different by it's own definition. I dust myself off and remind myself of this fact ALL the time, just because I have failed multiple times that has NOTHING to do with what I can do in the future. We would all be doomed if that were the case, without hope. Thomas Edison failed 1000's of times over before he invented the light bulb, but one thing he did not do was to ever give up. I begin this journey today quieting the voice of self doubt and replacing it with loving words of encouragement to myself.
