Fitness Questions
for Patti.

Help! I have no self
control!  How do I lose
weight?

To gain self-control,
you need to adjust
some old and worn
thinking patterns.  Do
you really believe that
you are going to
succeed this time? or
deep down, do you
believe you will just
give it a minimum
effort, and, just say
“Well I tried”, and then
give yourself
permission to give up.

Look deep within
yourself, and don't be
afraid of what you will
see.  By confronting
yourself, and
demanding more of
yourself, you can be
honest with yourself,
and demand a higher
level of integrity.

Facing yourself, and
regaining a new
positive belief in you, is
vital to your weight
management success.  
This means more than
paying lip service with
the same old clichés.

Take responsibility,
and then, take control.
This is what self-control
is really all about.
Change and self-
control come from
within.  

Try writing down a brief
summery of your ability
to use self control:
What does this say
about you?
Are you optimistic or
pessimistic?
Do you take
responsibility or are
you a victim?
Does it reflect good
self esteem or a lack of
confidence?

To have effective self-
control, accept
yourself, love yourself
and be willing to
change.  Understand
that you are not
powerless over your
behavior.  It all comes
back to not letting
yourself
off the hook.

If you know that you sit
down and eat 5
cookies at one time,
then you have to be
honest, and say that
you are sabotaging
your health, for a quick
and shallow payoff.  Do
you really think that
you could
not stop at
one cookie?  Of course
you could.  You just
chose NOT to.

Sometimes you just
have to ask yourself,
are you a responsible
mature person or a 3
year old?  

Be aware of the
negative self-defeating
patterns in your life.  
Make your internal
dialogue positive and
uplifting to your
thoughts and actions.  
Use your self-control to
change one step at a
time.

Hello from your foreign
correspondent in Orange
Beach, Alabama!

Whew!  Just got in from
some cleaning up.  We
were not evacuated, but
Hurricaine Katrina was
interesting-the wind was
scary.  

Storm surge is the major
issue.  Lots of blustery
wind.  Gulf Shores got the
same storm surge as when
Ivan came through.

We are getting very good
at boarding up windows
and such.  My parents lost
power, but we didn't.  We
lost it at 7:00pm-after the
worst of the storm, but we
think they just brought the
grid down to repair lines.  

We lost two trees but no
big deal.   Mobile got it
worse than we did-more
surge than when Ivan blew
through.   One drill station
got loose and hit the
Causeway........nothing is as
bad as New Orleans stuff,
though.......thanks for
checking in.
