supporting words to motivate

Hi everyone i just wanted to express my feelings on the wording we use on a day to day when we are getting fitter and more healthy we say things like im on a diet trying to LOSE weight or im CUTTING down or STOPPING eating if you look at what we say to our selves we are putting ourselves in a deprived state befor we even start , LOSEING , STOPPING, CUTTING OUT these words are all about loss and what do we do if we are loseing something !!! we try and hold on to it
So today why do we change our thought procces and say working towards getting fitter or shedding away a few pounds .

How many words can you think off to empower You and get you Moving in the Right Direction ??
Thanks for reading this i look FORWARD to your comments
have a great Day
Debbie
