What are the top three things I do that hold me back from my health and weight loss goals? Choosing to make unhealthy food choices at work. Emotional eating. Eating tons of sugar all day.
What are the top three emotions or mental habits that keep me from my health and weight loss goals? Entitlement--I can do whatever I want. Loneliness--if food is there I won't feel lonely for human contact. Fear--if I succeed at being healthy I may fail, which may feel worse than just continuing to be unhealthy.
Do I have any toxic relationships in my life right now? Do they serve a purpose for me? Is there a way I could give them up or change them? How can I do that? The only toxic relationship I have right now is my relationship with Sugar. Hopefully this process will help me end it.
How would my life be different without these behavioral habits, mental and emotional constructs,and relationships? I would feel healthy. My self esteem would be better. I would think clearer. I would be motivated. I may explore things that I have been held back from for years.
Am I really too busy to change my habits and life? No. This weekend I plan to get rid of the TV. I plan to start limiting my computer time. Last week I finished a novel for the first time in a really long time.
What are some behaviors, habits, and relationships I could choose to engage in that would give me energy and mental, spiritual, and physical health? Walking in the morning, or going to the gym, or starting back up with Holly. Reading. Managing money so that I meet up with friends and just be out in the world in general more. I could take Denise's Mindfulness training that is coming up that I keep telling Theresa I will do. Embroidering at night so that I don't eat. Helping Mom and Dad with their yard/house. Going to bed by 11 and getting up at 8. Not reading Facebook.
What motivates me in life? What makes me want to wake up each morning? What is my life's purpose? Friends, family, love. Those make me wake up each morning. Knowing I do great work at my job. Jeez, I don't know what my life's purpose is. I'm going to have to think about that a little more.
How does being overweight or ill diminish or detract from my life's purpose? I am held back from being my true self. My brain and body don't work as well as they should, and that holds me back.
How would following this program and getting well allow me to fulfill my life's purpose more effectively?
