So I made my inspiration board for my 12WBT Journey. And really it was because it was a weekly task and I had decided when I started this to do ALL of the weekly tasks regardless of how mundane I thought they were...
I liked this challenge as it got me to think about what actually made me tick and why I wanted to choose some of the things I chose.
So I thought I would justify them here on my blog so then I was putting voice to reason...
(here is a link to my inspiration board on pinterest btw http://pinterest.com/laurajbritten/12wbt-inspiration-board)
**The Taylor Swift quote**
Now I get it, like the rest of the population, some of Taylor Swifts songs are a bit like *BLAH!* because you know the moment she breaks up with someone she is going to write a new song...
HOWEVER me getting it is as far as that goes. I like Taylor Swift, and I have a lot of respect for her music. Now I'm not musical at all, but we do have something in common, we process our thoughts by writing them down. The difference is that my readers have the choice as to whether they want to read my ramblings of the week, unlike Taylor's songs that are played on the radio One Million times a day.
"If you're lucky enough to have something that makes you different from everyone else, don't ever change."
I know I am different from everyone else. And I think about this from an emotional point of view, not a physical. My weight means I am different from my colleagues and friends and I DO want to change that.
**Sarah McGee**
I do not know Sarah, nor have I met her. She completely gave me faith that I could do this. I relate to her journey over others because she is a similar age to me, and I really admire her honesty. I have less weight than Sarah to lose, so I honestly believe in myself that I can actually do this now, and I don't have to listen to the inner monologue trying to tell me that I cannot!
**The Abraham Lincoin Quote**
Now I'm not American, and don't have an admiration for Lincoin, but I stumbled across this quote....
"I walk slowly, but I never walk backward."
I loved it. And thought it was so true of a weight loss journey..
A lot of people have said "Oh I couldn't do that" "Oh no losing weight is too hard..." "I share food, and I can't expect others to eat that.."
HELLO!!! It is a lifestyle NOT a diet... I have my doubts of whether I can do it right the whole time. And I would be lying if I said that I am doing it right and will always do it right. I can barely get through a 30min work out at the moment... Does that mean that I am the biggest failure in the world? Does it mean that I have failed myself because I cannot do an intense workout for 1hour or more?? Hello- it makes me human... I am human, and I make mistakes, but I will not go backwards. I will make mistakes, I will have red flag days and yes that might mean I eat something I shouldn't or not do exercise all week because I'm busy. It doesn't make me a failure, it makes me human. And I will keep pressing forward no matter the task!!
**The Scales!!**
The dreaded scales. Although when I weigh myself and the 111.7kgs or 111.9kgs comes up, I'm no longer gutted that I'm so big... I'm no longer gutted as to why it hasn't moved... I just keep on moving. Honestly if I could not weigh myself, I would. I would lose the weight until I liked how I looked and I would go into maintenance mode. I'm not going to be governed every week by the scales, or what they tell me. And I shouldn't have to be, no one should be!!
This is my inspirations.. My inner monologues that have told me to be a positive, polite, beautiful person. And I am a beautiful person, my mother has taught me well.
If anything I wanna be a snake... The snake that kills an antelope and eats the whole thing whole and says "What of it...???" !!! I want to be amazing, inspiring, and do the things I think I cannot do!!
