The Voices in My Head...

I guess we all have those voices that sabotage us and keep us from getting to our goals.

VOICE: My Grandmother would always say, "Clean your plate. Think of the starving children in India!"

RESPONSE: It took me years to figure out that my leaving food on the plate would not hurt the starving children anywhere. So now I TRY to leave food on my plate (despite the guilt feelings, lol) AND I fast 2 meals on the first Sunday of every month and then donate the savings from those two meals (+some) to help the poor.

What are your voices and how do you overcome them?

    My voices just tell me to eat pie. But your fasting donations are a really wonderful idea.

    Voice: Wow, a couple beers would sure be good right now. After all, we are watching football.

    Me: No way - I could eat an entire sandwich for same calories!

    The voices in my head say "come on baby girl, you can get through 10 more minutes of cardio"....I do a LOT of self talk when I work out
