Well, first I have to say it reflects Monica's post from today titled ATTITUDE.
I also had a panick attack, I remember writing this in my blog if you want to go have a peek, click on my website link under my ticker.
My attitude as I was going into this, or as I call it, I like to brainwash myself, I don't know how or it might sound silly, but I always talk to myself before I do something. So a few days before, I spoke to myself "Ok, this is it, you are starting OF, this is great, I can't be hungry, it has to be sufficient. There's absolutely no cheating, because if I cheat, I cheat myself and if I don't care, why would I do this?."
You really have to click that switch ON in your brain, this is it, no fuss only positive things ahead. You can't think one negative thought because that brings what some people do, falling off the wagon or "Oh, I'll only have one bit" NO, no more, I am so done and ready for this.
My brain is throwing all different things on here right now but I hope some make sense....lol
Don't make excuses, it is what it is and it has to be done. For me at 425lbs, I was at the point of calculating WHILE I was having supper, what I was going to eat throughout the evening. As soon as I would leave the table, I would go sit in the living room with my stash of food...lol...and eat til midnight, I could barely breathe, I was feeling the heart attack coming...so woke up one morning and had enough....never looked back and so proud and glad I did.
I'm done idling, I want to live!
Sorry I got carried away and made it a mini novel...lol...I always do that...lol
Anything you need to ask, don't be afraid if you want another novel......lmao
But again, remember that this is my opinion only and my point of views! But I sure do hope it helps!
