Day 97: I am counting down now!

I forgot to post my weight, which is: 213.6 lbs. as of Monday.

It has been three days, but I feel different this time around. Before, I felt like the little engine that could, "I think I can, I think I can." It seems as if I was constantly convincing myself that I could do it. Asking my husband, "Do you think I can?" every other night. And hoping that I could get to day 100. This time it is different. I do not doubt myself, instead I believe I am capable of it. I feel free! I workout and I keep telling myself, "You are free, you harbor nothing but hope, faith, and trust." I perceive the end I want, I see myself meeting my goal. There are no "ifs".

Now I know that I am only three days into this leg of my journey, but I am realizing that not letting go of my emotions, fears, and the past, has held me back. I realize that there was a part of me saying I could only go so far and that beyond that would be unimaginable, so don't bother trying, give up now. I allowed my emotions, negative emotions and fears, rule me. Questioning my abilities, my goals, etc. And no longer will I allow that to happen.

I am the CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL. And I choose to trust in the best Advisor to put wind in my sails, and lead me to my goal. I cannot tell you the blessings that come when you CHOOSE to make the change. Once you make the choice the rest is easy. It is letting go of our own will that becomes the most difficult.

So my advice today: Do not harbor animosity, hurt, anger, pain, or any other negative feeling within you. Instead REALIZE and find your TRUE POTENTIAL. Realize the amazing talents and gifts that you have. REALIZE that you are worth far more than the person who may have caused the hurt. And give yourself your power back. Harboring those emotions dictates your outlook on life, your future, your dreams, your hopes. You cannot change the past, but you have the power to change your future. What are your dreams? What are YOUR HOPES? Let go, and move forward, because the future is bright, my dears,
THE FUTURE IN BRIGHT!
