Still stabilizing. Time for a mental push.

My weight this morning was at 161.4. I'm basically maintaining at around 161... Which means I am almost at 159!!! :-) :-)

Time for a little self-hypnosis... You can follow along with me if you let yourself relax and read the following to yourself slowly. :-)

As I am sitting here... I can start to become aware of the feeling of the cool air around me... The sounds around me... The ambient noises... And taking a deeeeeep breath... I start to relax my shoulders... flexing my toes causes another small wave of relaxation... Can I feel what it feels like in my left big toe?... Yes... Becoming more aware of my body... Becoming more aware of what I need... Another deep, relaxing breath... Perhaps remembering what it will feel like... And another deeeeeep breath... as my body gets leaner with each day... With each step, I am walking towards better health... Each choice is becoming easier and easier... Each day my steps are lighter... Another deep breath of relaxation... Ahhh... That's good. You can feel it... Can't you? The goal is in reach. :-)

Okay, that was a nice break. Next: A session on the treadmill.

Good for you, keep up the good work. I seem to always get a little upset if the scale is up by 2 pounds...even though I know it is water weight...I can't help but feel discouraged...that is until I weigh the next morning & see the scale back down. :)

I love self-hypnosis. I have a book I use frequently & it never ceases to amaze me that whatever goal I focus on during hypnosis actually happens! Seriously, I cannot tell my family & friends enough about the wonders! I was a little freaked out the first time I used it because it was for my boards of Nursing (huge test, determining whether you get your license) everything I focused on during the self-hynosis sessions happed to exact details! Seriously, the test was supposed to take 5 hours....I was out of there is 45 minutes. I love self-hypnosis & can vouch that it has helped get me through some pretty tough times!
