Mina and the Fence (Repost)

[Guest guest]

~~~NOTE: This message is a repost from several years ago.~~~

When I first started the Challenge last year,I had my boyfriend (literally)

cover ALL of our mirrors to just above my eye level so I wouldn't have to see

myself.That's how much I loathed my body (myself).It took months of " coaching "

from my boyfriend to make the shift from loathing to LOVING my body and I feel

THAT shift was the MOST necesary for My transformation to take place.

Looking back, I now realize that changing my body truly was 80 plus percent a

Mental exercise...and 20 percent or LESS was physical...On an average day,I'd

spend 1-2 hours working out...The REST OF MY DAY was spent " THINKING " .And my

THINKING determined whether I WORKED out or not in the first place, what I ate,

what kind of workout I'd have (intensity) that day,etc...

Just like I did 12 months ago, people ask me ALL the time, " Mina, what do you

eat?What supplements do you use?Tell me Exactly how you work out... "

Those things ARE important, but for ME, the most important ingredient is

Mindset.Get your mindset right and your body WILL follow.

My boyfriend gave me his " fence " analogy. " Mina " he said. " You have to decide

once and for all what side of the fence you TRULY want to be on. One side of the

fence supports all the things you've done up until now to get your body into the

overweight condition you find yourself today. " " The Other side of the fence is a

new way of life.That healthy,FULL OF ENERGY body that you want is there.On that

side of the fence,food is Fuel!Exercise = ENERGY! "

He'd tell me after I cheated, " Hon,I'll love you no matter what side of the fence

YOU choose to live,but it's time to get OFF the fence. "

Once I'd made the choice and Committed to living on the Healthy " side,it became

easy (easier) to make decisions about what to eat,etc... Today,I constantly ask

myself, " Is this thought supporting my decision to have an Awesome body.If it

doesn't,I check again... " What side of the fence do I want to live... "

OK ok...I got carried away...

Sorry to go on and on...lol

If I were asked, " What was the key to my transformation " ,I'd say without

hesitation, " Mindset! " Decide what side of the fence you want to live then put

Every ounce of energy you have into supporting that decision!

Well, that's it for me,for now...I'll be back soon to talk about the " other "

things...What I ate,etc...OK?

Thanks again for ALL the Love and Support!!!
