in Health and Weight Loss
With all of the focus on outward beauty I see a lot of people with weight problems lose the weight for just one reason.... to beautify the outward appearance. Nothing wrong with that, but with those same stories you see that their weight loss meter is also attached to their emotional or happy meter as well. They have other beauty issues going on the inside. True success of "weight" loss is inward and outward beauty. There is more to life than flesh and bone. Matter of fact, the REAL you is inside. Let us all work on being healthy inside and out.

What Tip, Suggestion or Testimony would you share for "inward weight loss" ? (i.e. forgiveness,)

    When I finally made up my mind and decided that my weight was not going to define me or keep me from doing things I wanted to like wear shorts or a bathing suit, people started coming up to me and asking me if I lost weight. At that point I hadn't lost an once but I unburdened my inside self.

    Being POSITIVE! You have no control over some circumstances in life.. don't take things seriously, don't dwell on things, learn to let go and let be! Focus on your goals.. take care of you! Be happy, live happy.. spread some cheer! It will definately make others want to be around you! :bigsmile:

    This. Definitely this.

    Also I stopped comparing myself to every other woman in the room to see where I ranked size-wise.

    Finally realized my body and my life didn't just happen to me...I could make them happen. Taking charge!

    That's awesome! Admitting we need to change is half the victory.
