How do I change?
If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
-Og Mandino, “The Greatest Salesman in the World”
I have been journal surfing and there are just some amazing weight loss success stories out there. I feel empowered just reading them and know more then ever I will succeed at my goal. I am not sure when and really that isn't even important, just that I will do it. I really really want this and I can do this. Nothing can stop me from making my goal, no excuse not to go on is good enough. I love being thinner. I love more importantly how much healthier I feel. Like I have shaved 10 years off of my life. Now this is a 2nd childhood that is wonderful. My family is proud of me. I am proud of me. I am happy, but actually I always was a pretty happy person. Life is good.
My total steps today is 8628. I didn't get my pedometer on until 12 noon so I missed whatever morning steps I would have had.

I really like the affirmations! Especially the fifth one. =) I can always use an excuse for new clothes!
I'm glad that you found some great journals. Sometimes, when I have a little free time, I like to do a 'journal to journal' thing where I read someone's journal then click on a link from their 'other journals' box and then keep repeating the process until I have to get offline. I came across the journal of an AOL blog employee last night by doing that! And I found a solution to the hit counter problem. Well, not really a solution but he gives you instructions for how to set your hit counter to a certain number. It's not that difficult. I tried it today after I saw my journal hit counter was only 15 after it had been over 4700! Here's his blog address: http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/ The entry about the hit counter is on the right somewhere.
You got in a lot of steps today! I have read that the average person does 5000 steps or less! Good for you, Julie!

Dee, I tried the site and printed out the instructions for resetting my counter but got stuck right away when it said to click on the browse my files, I couldn't find that link to click! I am computer stupid on some of this stuff but it sounded pretty easy. Wasn't though. Thanks for sending me the link though as there is some great information there.
