DRAGON - Upset Dragon and MVM

[Guest guest]

Hi Dragon,

 

I'm so sorry to hear things aren't going too well for you on the weight loss

front.  It can be so frustrating and disappointing when something like this

happens.  In your case it must be even more frustrating as there are certain

factors you can't control, such as the medication.

 

I received an interesting e-mail from a friend today.  It was about

affirmation, especially as it relates to weight loss.  I'm not sure how you

feel about using affirmation as a tool in your weight loss journey but you may

find it worth considering at some stage.  My friend mentioned she had just

finished reading a book which discussed the mechanics of affirmation.  To cut a

long story short, the idea is to make your affirmation something about the

process of achieving your goal, rather than focus on the goal itself.  For

instance, instead of making your affirmation 'I am slim', you should make it 'I

am in the process of becoming slim'.  If you visualise yourself as being slim

you can then focus on your goal of becoming slim and affirm to yourself 'I am in

the process of becoming slim.' 

 

This may not be something you would feel comfortable with but I thought I would

pass it on anyway.

 

Actually, you could even use the MVM program as a mini-goal and set yourself the

challenge of losing sufficient weight to be able to record your weight on their

charts.  So long as you aren't unrealistic about the length of time this will

take I think this could be a great incentive.

 

Have you actually discussed with your doctor the issue of your medication and

weight gain?  S/he may be able to suggest an alternative medication or dosage.

 

I hope things start working out better for you soon and that your weight starts

going in the right direction again.

 

Hugs from Marie

Okay yesterday I weighed in at 20 stone 11.5 pounds (291.5 pounds or 132.2 kg),

today 20 stone 13.5 pounds (293.5 pounds or 133.1 kg), I have no idea WHY I put

on 2 pounds over night (not enough fluids maybe?), but I decided to go in and

update My Virtual Model and I cannot put my weight in! The highest it goes up to

is 20 stone 2 pounds (282 pounds or 127.9 kg), this has set in stone how much of

a lard ar$e I actually am and I am fed up with it - everything I do seems to

back fire and put more weight on (and the various medications the docs give me

do not help), the doctors have caused me to have an eating disorder but I have

to live with it - if we had the money I would be going for serious liposuction

at the moment just to get shot of some of the fat :-(
