Photo Gallery: Check Out Pictures Of The Challenge
|
Today was a hallmark moment. Today for the first time in a long, long time, I am out of the 200’s I weighed in today at 199.4 this morning so I’ve lost a total of 26.6 lbs as of the beginning of this Challenge. I am elated!
This weekend I went thru my closet and put in bags for the Salvation Army all of my size 18’s and am now losely fitting my size 16’s. They’ll be gone by month end. I was listening to a Jack Cansfield audio cassette on Positive Self Esteem and Self Image and one of the tools that he encourages in bringing new things and ideas into your life is by getting rid of those things you currently have that you cannot use. It is by holding on to those things that it keeps you from moving and growing and making yourself available for new prosperiety. So I released all my business suits and casual clothes to gift to someone else that can use them. :o) I WONT be needing them anymore. And I welcome the release of the 16 then 14 and I’ll settle in to the 10-12’s to keep for my new lifestyle of taking care of me. :o)
Today was a great day for me. I released a lot of what used to hold me back. Clothes was just one of those things. I also released a lot of resentment, anger and saddness from a close personal relationship with a long-distange estranged family member. That was even more difficult because there was not instant gratification like giving away clothes to the needy. This release was a spiritual and mental release and while it was not fun to do...I’m glad that I did. I’m not going to let those feelings bind me anymore. I forgive and move on to a healthier, happier Sonya.
See...It’s true that weightloss is not just about the number on the scale. It’s much deeper than that. It’s about loving yourself enough to say No to what is not healthy for you and Yes to what pulls you up higher mentally, physically and spiritually to live Your Best Life. Not anyone elses...Your Best Life...Now...Today…
God bless you all and thank you for all that you do for me here on this Blog and in each of your personal circles of family and friends.

Congratulations on a significant achievement! And while you’re giving away those business suits, think of the boost you’re giving someone else who needs to project that business-like image to move on into a new era in their lives.
