Dieting Inspiration and Motivation
You Are Enough

Dieting inspiration and motivation is beamed at you in every moment. I have stayed up late watching infomercials and SOBBING my eyes out. I even got teary eyed watching that Eddie Murphy movie The Nutty Professor when I saw him crying at infomercials or even talking about losing weight.

I have done so many diet programs to some degree of success and then kind of gained weight when I went off "the program."

First let's get you inspired and motivated and if you are interested I'll tell you how I've done it to date (there is nothing to buy or download. I hate that crap.) Some people want to know "how to" and others need some motivation.

Regarding the How To

Anything can work for weight loss, but do you enjoy it? Is it healthy? Does it make you crazy? Do you go all out when you're on and the all off when you're not?

Sometimes the Rah-rah can get you pumped up, but the fall can be even worse.

The problem with dieting inspiration and motivation for me was I wanted it too badly. Yeah that's right. I just needed to change. My whole life was like that. Across the board. I was an achievement, self help, motivational, relationship, JUNKIE.

Needing Change

Self-acceptance is key.

Yeah, I heard that before, but it always seemed to say to me, "Hey, shake hands with mediocrity, because that's what that is all about." I just thought, "No, what I need to do is TRY HARDER. Work harder. Be better. Why?

My need for dieting inspiration and motivation stemmed from a very vulnerable place. Underneath all my positive affirmations and thoughts, I had some very old ideas. Maybe lifetimes old. There are stories I told myself that I thought were true, and I based my entire life on trying to improve. What stories?

I told myself I was not good enough as I was. I told myself that I would always be misunderstood, and that I would never be accepted and even more.

I needed to lose weight and improve to be good enough. I was wrong. But how did I learn that?
