Stinking Thinking

I have been successful at loosing weight several times in the past. There were various 'road blocks' that sent me back to square one. One of them was "stinking thinking". It goes like this:

Why do I have to do this?
It's not fair - other people can eat what they want.
I want what I want when I want it!
It's hopeless, I can't do this.

I need to defeat these negative thoughts before they have a chance to grow and fester.
Here's the big one: It's not fair!
OK, Jackie, guess what - life is not fair. You have the genetics you were given, the habits you developed, and the desires you have to deal with. You can mope about it and continue to self-destruct with food or you can make healthy choices and enjoy a new life. What's it going to be?

Wow - I needed that. Time to move on one positive choice at a time.
