You Deserve It
Friday, November 21st, 2008 | Weight Loss | 2 Comments
Thank you Paula, for your comment. You are right. You do deserve it. You deserve to be happy, to be fulfilled, to be healthy, and to be successful. Set your mind on what you want, and then follow-through with actions that will take you to your goal. Ask yourself (every day) what it is you are striving for. If you want to lose weight, then give yourself that gift. If you want to enjoy the tastey pleasures that life has to offer than give yourself that gift. Make the choice and go in which ever direction gets you closer to your goal.
Another important thing to remember is that food often serves as a symbol. In this case, the brownie is a symbol of your self-worth. Make sure your true needs (of self-worth) are being addressed in other ways.

It’s true that many things in life are celebrated with food. I have realized lately with your help that I can treat myself to something that I am worthy of without it having to be food.
You are so right about treats that AREN’T food. I am worthy of that! What surprised me was that after only a few weeks of Siri’s help with my eating, I began to think differently about what I deserved and how I could be good to myself in life-affirming ways – like slowing down, going to a movie or to the book store or for a walk – instead of life-negating ways – like stuffing myself with food, even when I’m not hungry.
