Even the most str...Self doubt will always creep up. Even the most strong willed and self confident people have points where they think of quitting. It happens. <br /><br />For me, what helps is thinking of life as a cricket game (or baseball for my friends across the pond). One day, I might be on a roll and smash the ball around. I might experience a great run of form. Eventually, I'll get bowled out. But I have unlimited chances to bat again (well, until I die that is). <br /><br />If you strike out or if you get bowled out, you can always get up to bat again. Today I'm batting and I'm doing good so far. I did great yesterday. The innings ain't over for today so I'll keep batting and hopefully do better. <br /><br />I suppose, even if you don't believe, you can still grab the bat and swing. Hey, you might hit a home run... you might luck up on a rich vein of form and have some of your best days, weeks, months and hopefully, your best years ever.<br /><br />It all starts with walking to the pitch and swinging.afromusclehttp://afromuscle.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-27566942160603906952013-02-02T11:49:20.860-05:002013-02-02T11:49:20.860-05:00Love that Bianca: "just find a few tiny yesse...Love that Bianca: "just find a few tiny yesses" and build.

And congrats on your hard work paying off. I'm really thrilled you're going to join the monthly group too, love all your comments and I think it's going to be fun. <br /><br />And bonus: it makes Cranky Fitness look more cosmopolitan and hip to add more international flavor--we don't get nearly enough German or other non-English speaking Europeans due to our lack of translation monkeys. (Some day will have to steal some from Shadowduck but in the meantime, it's great that your English language skills are so good). <br /><br />And I love that there is yet another Rick Hanson fan in da house!Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-80951976686723817882013-02-01T10:02:44.572-05:002013-02-01T10:02:44.572-05:00A "big ball of grump!" Too funny, I kno...A "big ball of grump!" Too funny, I know exactly what that feels like and sometimes it's SO hard to talk oneself out of it.<br /><br />So how doofy is this? If logic won't work against the grumps, sometimes I resort to imaginary cathartic temper tantrums. I slam things around and break them, scream, throw paint on walls, kick things and jump up and down and wreak all kinds of havoc until I start to laugh at myself and get at least a slight sense of "release." Other times I just surf it and know it will slink away on its own if I ignore it.<br /><br />That is so cool that you were able to rewire your taste buds and cravings and are ready to move beyond tracking, that's huge!! So glad you're planning to join us, I'm really looking forward to this.

My inner monologue did end up giving me an attitude adjustment, though.<br /><br />With regard to the resolution wrap-up, I think it went pretty well. I've managed to rewire my body/taste buds in favor of non-refined food, and I'm happy about that. I started the month tracking and counting calories, but I think I'm going to work hard at intuitive eating next month. I'd love to keep checking in with the support group if you decide to keep it going. :)<br />Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996021203087707788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-88336535616545201302013-01-31T20:42:52.556-05:002013-01-31T20:42:52.556-05:00Fake it 'til you make it has done well for me ...Fake it 'til you make it has done well for me in life.

My project for this weekend is to finally (almost three months post-move) get my share of the office/hobby room unpacked. I have to keep psyching myself up to do it, but it'll be really nice to have it done.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996021203087707788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56434198985434932682013-01-31T19:58:38.567-05:002013-01-31T19:58:38.567-05:00That's fascinating about the smiling when talk...That's fascinating about the smiling when talking on the phone Spaz! And yeah, Rick's stuff is great. I started with Buddha's brain and found it fascinating.<br /><br />And so glad you're making progress on the making peace with yourself thing. It's a tough one but SO worth it getting to be more and more "on your own side." And it all starts with awareness!<br /><br />It will be great to have you aboard for a monthly check in. I'm thinking even if the post only runs once a month, we can keep on using the comment thread to that post to report progress or obstacles or whatever.

I do customer service work mostly on the phone and we have been told smile when you talk to people, it comes across in your voice. Funny thing is it changes your attitude as well! I am going to read Ricks stuff as well.As far as my goal, I have felt like I have made progress with my goal of making peace with myself, just because by coming here every week, I have been more aware of what I was doing, why I was doing it and how it effected on me. So if nothing else, this whole thing has given me an awareness that I didn't have before. Thanks to everyone for that and for the support. I would love a monthly check -in as well!
