I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

day 19

(Note to readers. This blog is also published on the www.bodyforlife.com website under their community links. I just thought some of you might be wondering who the people are that I have been mentioning of late in these posts.)

Greetings BFL buds! Hey...isn't this fun. We are building our best bodies ever and learning that our personal experiences are part of the "Universal BFL experience." If you have any doubt, pull up yesterday's blog featuring Steve's question about negative talk from others.
Thanks to each of you for your thoughtful commentaries. They really spoke to me loud and clear; I am not alone in navigating the mine fields we must move through as we create our own BFL.

As I read the comments again this morning I was struck by just how much we all share in our efforts to grow mentally, physically and spiritually.
One thing I know for certain....as our friends and family watch our stunning transformations...they too will jump on the BFL path and treasure their own transformations!
We are such a united force. And I believe as we add soldiers in this battle of Obesity we will win the war.

It's day 19!! We are moving into the final two days of week three. Lets make them count in the gym, in the kitchen....and work and in our homes!

Earlier in the week I asked for topics for future blogs as we turn this month into our power month of change. I will be offering up those suggestions in the days that come. Yesterday's blog added a new demention to Steve's question and I wanted to throw that out to the rest of you. It comes from:

Great post and comments all, but what does one do when the negative talk comes from your own self doubt, when you are your own worst enemy? What do you all do when that little voice says that it is more important to "fill in the blank" than get your workout in, or get home on time for a nutritious meal and a good night’s sleep? I know, I know, tell yourself you’re worth it...but how do you make yourself BELIEVE it?

Great question. How do we turn around that negative self-talk?
Please share your secret weapon!
