Groundhog Day - and guest contributers

All right it's a bit of a stretch. But I wanted to be "holiday" topical. I'm changing my thoughts one at a time, but my subconscious, who I'm going to name the troll (like an Internet stalker who just comes into conversations to stir up shit) just rephrases it for me.  Darned brain!



Do you have a reoccurring thought or thought pattern that you would like to change? I'd love for you to contribute to the blog. There is something about the process of writing it out that is making it more real for me.

So onto what I am fighting today. Because of my weight - but even when I was thin or at a healthy weight - I never liked my body. But, because of my weight, I really, really don't feel good about my looks. Here's where the thought makes reality goes into play though. Yesterday I woke up, had a good day. Felt good about myself and life in general and people responded to that.

Today, I'm feeling blah about myself. Worried about going into interviews at this weight. Because looks matter. That's a fact. But, how I present myself matters as well.

Old thought: I'm ugly because I'm fat. And when I think that. I shrink up into myself I don't take of myself.  .... So of course I'm not looking my best.
New thought: Being attractive is more than just a number on a scale. I'm attractive if I work at it and feel good about myself.
