Heather is in the "zone"! I believe she has truly accepted the mission. She mentioned to me the other day that someone had ordered her a pizza and she firmly (and politely) stood her ground that she was unable to eat it, then she made a beeline to Whole Foods to get what she needed. Bravo Heather! Bravo!!
Heather's Journal Tuesday, December 17th:
Challenge: I don’t have very good willpower. Back to the theme of knowing myself better, I have had to admit that I don’t have incredible willpower. If something delicious is nearby, I get a compulsion to eat it. At some times in the past, I would impulsively eat something so fast that I wouldn’t even taste it or enjoy it. So the question was, how was I going to make this experience different than every other time I have attempted to change my lifestyle.

Solution: Multiple Solutions:
· ~I sought professional help from Meche.
· ~I asked my husband for help
· ~We did everything we could to stay away from
situations where I would be tempted… but when we had to show up, we came
prepared with our own food
· ~I made my journey
public. I've even been sponsored to help with my personal training sessions. There
was no greater commitment device than this.
If I am tempted now, I think of all the people who are watching my
journey and have invested time and money in my success.
· ~I have to keep an open dialogue with myself, and
whenever I want to skip a workout or eat outside the meal plan (which is
carefully planned down to the ounce!) I think of the trajectory of progress
that I am on and remind myself that I could be at my ideal weight within a
matter of months.
Useful Tools: Professional Help, A Good Friend to Encourage
you (you have to ask them to do this), and a commitment device.
Another commitment device:
A Visualization of Success.
