My Commitment to Health
I, Yvette ‘Evie’ Wagstaff , hereby
agree and commit to take the following steps to improve my accountability to
myself, to increase my chances for weight loss success:
1.
I
will respect myself by refusing to engage in verbal self-abuse, and I will find
positive ways to comfort and support myself when I’m having a hard time.
Specifically, I will… Journal or Blog
daily about my feelings and learn to recognize any patterns that I may
see emerging so that I can avoid them in the future. I will not let one small
slip-up convince me that I'm stupid, worthless, or a lost cause.
2.
When
there is a conflict between my exercise and eating plans and/or what other
people want me to do, I will negotiate to find a reasonable solution that
allows me to do what I need to do
for myself. I will not sacrifice my own needs to make other people happy, or do
for them what they can and should be doing for themselves.
3.
I
choose to be in charge of my own decisions and behavior. I will not talk,
think, or act as if my spouse, child, cravings, or subconscious made me do it.
I will ask myself what’s most important to me at that moment and make my
decision. If I don’t like the consequences, I will try something different the
next time.
4.
I
will only choose to eat or drink that which will help my body to work to it’s
optimal level and allow me to release the excess weight. I will not drink soda
whether diet or regular!
5.
I
will keep a daily log of my intake, writing down EVERYTHING I eat and will be prepared to show it to anyone at
anytime, so as to keep myself honest about my food intake.
6.
I
will do some form of exercise every day, whether it is going to the gym or
doing a dvd at home. This IS NOT an option, this IS A MUST!
7.
I
will weigh-in and take measurements every Sunday morning!
