Know Your Triggers
by Cathy on 30. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and there they were. The cute Girl Scouts selling their cookies. As expected, they sweetly asked me if I’d like to buy some Girl Scout cookies. Before I knew it, I politely replied “NO.” That is my self-love act that I did for myself yesterday. Girl Scout cookies + me [...]
Your Gremlin
by Cathy on 27. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
Did you know that you have a Gremlin? You do! All of us have Gremlins. A Gremlin is the voice inside you that is the running voice that tells you that you are not enough, you can’t do this or that, you’ll fail and any other negative messages. When you are aware of your Gremlin [...]
What Do You Think About All Day?
by Cathy on 26. Mar, 2009 in Believe In Yourself!
Have you ever paid attention to what you think about throughout your day? What occupies the thoughts that play through your head. There is so much truth in the saying that “we become what we think about most of the time”. The human brain is a goal-seeking, problem-solving machine, and the things we think about, [...]

by Cathy on 23. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
If only, if only, if only…..ever hear yourself saying that. If only I hadn’t regained weight. If only I had reached my goal. If only I stayed on track. You “if only” your life away. Many of us look and live in the past of missed opportunities and regrets. It is impossible to change the [...]
Lesson From The Other Side of Overeating
by Cathy on 20. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
As I’ve written before, I believe that moderation is part of being on track. What that means to me is that occasionally we’ll have a day that isn’t completely indulgent but you will eat either more or eat choices that you normally wouldn’t do. Yesterday, I stayed on track with my choices but I ate [...]
How To Say “NO”
by Cathy on 19. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
Do you have a difficult time saying “no” to someone? Some people make it very difficult to say “no” to. After you say “yes” when you want to say “no,” how do you feel about yourself? How do you feel in general? For most of us, we don’t feel great about yourselves or the situation. [...]
You Can GROW
by Cathy on 17. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
How are you coming along with your resolutions that you made? If you’ve set goals rather than resolutions, how are they going? If you need to refocus your goals or resolutions, try to GROW. G = GOALS. Create a goal that you desire and want to achieve success. Write it down in a place that [...]

by Cathy on 16. Mar, 2009 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
Do you have enemies? If so, who are they? Make a list. Hopefully that list isn’t long!! The reason I ask this question is to really see if you are among your enemies. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Have you ever listened to the things you say to yourself? We can be the [...]
