Years ago, Oprah brought on stage with her, a wagon full of beef fat that represented the amount of body fat she had lost. Since then, I would visualize my weight goals. When I'd bring in the groceries and lift a 5# sack of flour, I'd think, "This is what I need to lose...my poor heart is working overtime to carry this around all day long."(Did those thoughts ever motivate me?) Nope. Now, I'm not going to tell you how many 5# sacks I'd have to line up to reach my goal at this point in my life.....but more than this one.
Actually, this one is in celebration. This is how much I have lost recently and this is my next goal as well. My next marker is to lose this sack of flour. (Dang it....does that mean I can't make the pie and bread I had planned for the weekend?) Hmmmmm, I'll think about that awhile.
So I'm not thinking wagons full, just chunks at a time and this is one chunk I do not miss!
