Breaking the habits: you need to take action

Did you enjoy yesterday's task? Did you bother to do it? All of it, or just some of it?
I have noticed that we only do those things that we really want to do. So if yesterday's task didn't appeal to you - you have to ask yourself why?
 
Were you embarrased? I know I was. Yes I did the challenge too. I did find the dress I wore 8 years ago, and it didn't look any better yesterday than it did then. My legs looked as shapeless as the dress. 

Did you feel that you "knew what you looked like" you didn't need to have it confirmed thank you very much? Ah, but that was the point - sometimes we need to see ourselves through other people's eyes. And photographs are a great way of seeing how you looked on a good day / bad day / the day when your hair needed washing. 

Of course you may have taken the challenge, the question is - now what?
 
Well that's up to you isn't it. You can choose to put all those clothes back in the wardrobe, or you can relegate them to the duster closet. Now please note that I am not giving you permission to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes just because I told you to ditch the old and the frumpy ones. The point of the exercise was to awaken you to the possibility that perhaps it is time to stop kidding yourself into thinking you are "something that you are not". Thin when you need to lose a pound or two, Fat - when you need to put weight on. We all have our own delusions about ourselves. But the reality can come in many forms and formats, and the easiest way is to take a cold, hard look at ourselves - and then choose to do something positive about it.
 
Change your hairstyle, wear a different colour, start to walk to work or the shops rather than take the car.
 
Remember it has taken many years for you to reach the point you find yourself now. Only you can decide to change what happens next.
 
I wish you an enjoyable journey
