Mission 2: Take A Reality Check
It’s just as well we spent the first mission finding and unlocking your true motivation, because in this mission we’re going to come face-to-face with some harsh realities.
Don’t worry, I’m not trying to put you off – I’m simply making sure you’re prepared for what it takes to lose weight.
The truth is that losing weight is both harder and easier than most people think.
The bad news is there are certain things you must do and have to lose weight. Non-negotiable.
The good news is that some of the things you thought you’d have to do or to give up don’t really matter.
Let’s see which is which…

Making room now! 🙂
I am ready to make more time for myself and make my health a priority.
It’s time to stop trying & start doing!
I can do this – I WILL do this! I know I need to make the time, and be persistent, too. In the past, I’ve given up- been too many other things I’d rather do. But this time, I see I need to MAKE it happen.
It’s time to put my own oxygen mask on, before trying to put others on (per one of my family’s favorite allegories). This will only improve my ability to serve my God, my family, & my coworkers & residents.
I am willing to exercise… that can be a top priority on my to do list… I find eating healthy a bit harder.
I just joined the YMCA this morning.
Considering how much I eat and what I eat, I don’t think that the cost of food is going to be an issue for me. I will probably save! Time and persistence is going to be my challenge.
My biggest stumbling point is the time factor and then the attention/focus to stay with it. I am telling myself that 2012 will be THE year that I lose the extra weight. My current work schedule has me off of work at 2:30, home by 3, Tuesday thru Friday. Mondays are a bit more challenging because my kids are out of school early and at an after school providers’ house. Mondays may have to be either my rest day or work out at home day.
Getting serious! No more putting it off!
I’m going to combine using the treadmill and studying. I am going to accept that the mornings don’t work for me to exercise and change my mind set to feeding the kids afternoon tea and then exercise before doing house chores.
One of my husbands favourite sayings is from Star Wars. Yoda says “Do or do not, there is no try”. Well,, with persistence and the acceptance of any small failures (and getting back on that horse) I will DO this!
I am completely ready to lose the weight. I am tired of being down on myself and not feeling good enough to even go to the store without feeling self-conscious. I remember a time when I had a ton of confidence and I want that feeling back.
Mission 2: Take a Reality Check.

‘I am what I am’ used to be my motto, now no more! Losing weight takes the hard yakkas and I’m ready. No more excuses. Now I’m more the happy to go to the park with the kids and not sit on my butt gasbagging with my mothers group. We walk around the park while the Kids go nuts. Juggling school, preschool, swimming lessons, differenT therapies, all for the kids. It’s no longer guilt inducing putting tHem in the gym crèche for an hour 4 times a week. bring it on!
Until I was in my 40’s I could eat whatever I wanted and didn’t gain weight. I never had to think about or plan what I was going to eat. I just ate. Now that I’m in my 50’s it’s snuck up on me. This was a great mind shift that I need to put weight loss forefront in thoughts and actions. Can I first say “Ugh!!!” I don’t want to have to do this. But I have to decide which I don’t want to do more: continue to be heavier than I want or make time and effort to work on this? I’m going to work on losing weight!! (I may need to write that sentence a thousand times to get it ingrained, lol!)
Done
Some sacrifices are worth making…
For the past 3 months I have been going to Curves 2 – 3 days a week. I used to make 0 time for exercise.
In the past my weight loss attempts have failed primarily due to meal prep. I’d rather spend time with my son than chopping veggies. As a busy, working mom does anyone have suggestions for saving time? Would buying a mandolin help speed up veggie prep?
Time to get off my procrastinating butt and do something about the things I don’t like about myself.
