Reasons why it could NOT work:
- I'm scared I won't know what I'm doing
- I'm scared I won't be able to handle the workouts
- I won't be fit enough by competition
- Everyone will think I'm crazy
- My husband will doubt by abilities to finish
- It will be hard to hang out with my friends
- When I get my new job it will be too difficult to train
- I'll be too tired to have fun
- I'll be too weak when it comes to withstanding all cheats
- We won't be able to afford training
- I'll do everything and still won't see any changes
- I'll miss having drinks or dinner with friends
- I'm scared I will fail
These are all just thoughts in my mind, I am not saying that any of these are true. They just exists as doubts.
Reasons I CAN do this:
- I do have a supportive husband for both my nutrition and workouts
- I am healthy and able bodied
- I have a car to get to and from my workouts
- I am stronger than I think
- My friends are supportive
- I have friends that have been through this before
- I actually enjoy eating healthy
- I want to do this for me
- I want to increase my mental strength and confidence
- I want to think about life first and food later
- I'm smart enough to learn from this experience, follow the diet and handle the exercises
- I'm ready to be what I've always wanted to be
- I look forward to my goal, to the day and to the moment every single day
- I am ready to put discipline in my life
- I have access to a gym
- The trainer I have is experienced and passionate about what she does
- I live close to the gym where my trainer is and where I'm training
I'm supposed to take the first list and burn it, to let all the negative thoughts and doubts out of my mind. The second list I keep as a reminder of all the reasons I can do this even when I have tough moments.
Maybe this can be useful for someone else's life when they are starting out on a new journey.
