Please take the time to honor those who have made this country free. Without our service men and women I would not have the awesome freedom to share this motivational blog with all of you.
We think its a challenge to lose weight, the challenge is nothing compared to fighting for this country! We choose what and when we will eat, our service men and women eat ration meals from their pockets. So next time you start thinking you want to quit, remember why this blog is possible and decide to fight like our service men and women. There really is freedom for those who are willing to take on the challenges and fight for weight loss success! Winners never quit and quitters are never FREE!
Thank you to all those service men and women who have allowed us the freedom to have the great U.S.A!!! Freedom isn't free! Thank you again.

Can we really think ourselves thin?
I am blogging about mindset because this is a big factor in success and failure in anything we want to achieve in life, including weight loss. Fake it till you make it & believe it till you achieve it are great starters and can come to pass. Let me explain.
When I decided to really put my mind into my weight loss journey, I had to devise a way to allow the positive thinking to become a habit. I took those 2 quotes and put them where I could see them. Not just anywhere, but I put them in places that seemed to create negaitive thoughts. The kitchen, fridge, freezer, pantry, those were places that I would find myself thinking that this was never going to happen, me Laura be skinny? Yes I would be that skinny mom, it just took the belief that I could!
Our subconscious mind-the habitual mind- is over 1 million times more powerful than the conscious mind. What does that mean? That we spend a significant amount of our lifetime on auto-pilot, playing out the mental programs that conduct our behavior. Let me give an example: while driving a car, carrying on a conversation with someone, the conscious mind is attending to what is being said in the moment, while the mind is turning on the directional, hitting the brakes, watching oncoming traffic, monitoring our blood sugar, regulating our breathing, & on & on, I think you get he point. The subconscious mind is so vast and powerful that we do not even know what we are capable of. It truly runs our lives whether we know it or not! So habits begin & manifest deep in the mind, they can be our ally or attacker. Whether they are a positive force in our lives or an obstacle to the goals we want to achieve, our habits become in grained through repeated actions, through thought or physical actions. If you tend to always fall apart when a challenge gets in the way, our tendency or habit will be to subconsciously bring on those negative thought patterns, which also bring on, or back those negative habits.
My thought patterns have been redirected to positive no matter what current situation or challenge is before me. Pete and repeat went on a boat Pete fell off, who was left? It doesn't matter because
Pete can swim and will meet me back on shore! See positive thoughts repeated can and WILL produce positive habits and positive results.
