Visualizing Success

Research into changing something big in our lives suggests that it's not just enough to want something (I think most of us can attest to that) - you have to prepare for the fight as well.  One recommendation is to look into your future to understand how you will benefit if you succeed, and what the consequences will be if you fail.

 

If I succeed - I'll be able to run more with my sister, I'll have more sex with my husband, and I'll be able to start wearing clothes that I like again, instead of just clothes that fit.  I'll be able to cross my legs more easily, and I'll fit better into airplane seats (I won't have to worry each flight about sitting next to strangers and invading their space).

 

If I fail - I may never be healthy enough to have a baby, I will continue to struggle up the stairs and with other daily activities, and I may never truly love myself because I don't love my body.

 

 

How will you succeed?

I really don't like "if" statements...they feel wishy washy...so I'll modify:

 

WHEN I succeed I will be more active and continue to choose volunteer opportunities that are physical in nature.  I will raise my vitamin D levels by spending 10 minutes a day in sunlight and taking my supplement with the goal of no longer needing it.  I will take a health test this fall and lower my body age from my last test 2 years ago, 65 to my actual age.  I will be at a normal body weight by 2018.

 

If I choose not to succeed, I will be at risk for heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure and that will remove years from my life expectancy.  I would miss future grandchildren and watching my kids become happy adults.
