Is Your Past Paralyzing Your Future?

By Victoria

The failures of the past haunt you and make you tremble at the thought of attempting another plan to shed the excess pounds you have been living with so long.

Please remember that the past is the past.

Today is a new day and EVERY day is unique and different.

You are not the same person you used to be. You have now decided to live well and nourish your body properly.

You know that you are responsible for your weight and your choices will either change it or keep it the same.

Don't fall into the trap of letting your past stop you from improving your future.

Here is a quick list of ways to put a halt to a paralyzing past

1. As soon as the thought of failing enters your mind, do not entertain it. Think of something else, get up, move around, just do anything to move on to other thoughts.

2. Make a list of positive things to think about when you have negative thoughts and refer to that list often.
Hang the list on your refrigerator and look at it when you want to eat out of boredom. Switch negative thoughts to happy thoughts and attach a positive feeling to your new lifestyle.

3. Stop watching television that shows junk food commercials. It is a fact that junk food commercials will trigger your appetite and paralyze your progress.
You may not even be thinking of a cheeseburger until you see that commercial, then you begin to entertain the thought and before you know it you are on your way to a drive through window.

4. Realize you are in charge of what goes on in your head. We become what we think about. If you think you will have success getting healthy, you will.

5. Know that deciding to eat healthy to lose weight is the best thing you can do for your body. This is not a depriving diet, but a different outlook on health and weight loss. You can do this.

So, to sum this up, as soon as the negative and paralyzing past thoughts enter your head, get rid of them. You have all the power to do this. You can either entertain the negative thoughts or throw them away.
Throw them in the trash with all the other garbage.

You can live a bright and healthy future. Everyday is a new day. It is all your choice.
