"There is no difference between wishing for a thing and being READY to receive it! No one is ready for a thing, until he or she believes they can acquire it. The state of MIND must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-Mindedness is essential for belief" - Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill

I am reading this book right now and wanted to share as I have been thinking about my weight loss journey and how I am ready to RECEIVE! I was thinking about the things I am most excited of doing when I achieve my goal weight. You will be surprised how simple they really are.

QUESTION: WHAT THINGS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN YOU ACHIEVE your goal weight???

I will go FIRST:

1. Playing with my 11 year old daughter outside and not quitting because I am hot & uncomfortable! So excited to ride bikes with her

2. To wear short sleeve shirts and shorts in the summer and not wear long sleeves and long pants because I am embarrassed of my arms & legs ahhhhhhhh FREEDOM!

3. Go out in public and not be so concerned with what people think of my weight. Just having fun while living my life

4. Doing presentations and parties for my job and doing so with confidence, not thinking one moment about how I look over weight!!!

5. Feeling SEXY again and wearing clothes that show off my beautiful healthy body

6. Going to the Doctor and having a HEALTHY REPORT on all my blood work and NOT BEING IN THE OBESE CATEGORY! WHAT WHAT!

Running without discomfort, being able to shop in any store I want, wearing cute under garments, not being the "fat friend" in the group, and just being able to be active (go on spur of the moment hikes, ride my bike to the grocery store without it feeling difficult, etc).

there are a few things I will do as I hit goal and continue to lose

1- go to a spa and get a full body massage, and defolate. I want to vacation a week at this spa.

2- Water park and go down all the slides

3- magic mountain in California and ride all the roller coasters

4- hit the California beach and body surf and play in the water.

Shopping in the normal sized clothes section of the store.

Lean, healthy, fit, strong.......increased self-esteem and as pain-free as possible.....appearing in photographs willingly instead of hiding behind the camera or running for the hills............I'd like to go snorkeling and maybe SCUBA....be seen in a bathing suit....not have my weight be in the way of anything I want to try......able to do Yoga again, bend, stretch and move my body comfortably......inhabit my body happily.....wear dresses again and pretty clothes....dance classes of some kind....feel whole and healthy....in sync and at one with my body.......
