Out of integrity

so I'm plugging away on my isagenix plan....cheating here, cheating there and getting frustrated that I'm not losing as fast as I was.  Not even acknowledging I'm CHEATING!!!  realized that I was congratulating myself with dinner...a big dinner/no counting/no calorie tracking dinner when I 'survived' my day of shake/snack/workout/shake/snack.   ooppss.
There has been many many times I have failed on past 'diet' plans..I've gathered evidence to support that I'm special/different/unique and 'those plans' don't work for me...what I figured out last night in my Landmark seminar...is I cheat/quit/sabatoge my efforts in those plans so I can prove myself right!! so I can be the poor girl who weight watchers didn't work for...or the girl that just loved food more then anyone else.  I realize that perception is crap...its tied to my past failures and it really isn't serving me well at this moment.  So today I start being in integrity (doing what I say I'm going to do) and really start following this plan to see the success.  During my seminar session last night I actually shared in front of 120 people this realization...I was in tears- basically saying the jig is up and I've figured this out and now I'm watching for my self sabotage and my negative patterns.... and now anything is possible. I am not the girl that can't loose weigth, they girl that failed to loose weight to get to goal of 210 at HighSchool graduation...I'm a new me and ready to crush those numbers on the scale!!!!!!!!!!  and to be conscious of all the chatter in my head and all the tricky games I like to play.

onwards and downwards!

Fat Prison- seen on a couple different websites-

I want to tell you about a very unusual sort of prison. It's called Fat Prison. Why is it so unusual? Because it's completely voluntary.
No one sends us to Fat Prison, we send ourselves!

What's it like to be a fat prisoner? The rules are very strict. To begin with, each prisoner must wear regulation uniform. This consists of a baggy skirt or elasticated pants. Most prisoners pretend they don't mind walking around in this shapeless uniform, but secretly they hate it. They'd much rather walk down the street in a slim pair of jeans.
Exercise is strictly controlled Swimming or playing with children is forbidden. And no prisoner may walk more than a few yards at a time. The penalties for breaking this rule include sweating, shortness of breath, soreness and fatigue. After a few years without any sort of proper exercise, prisoners become so soft that the very idea of movement terrifies them. If you don't believe me, go up to a fat prisoner and suggest a nice long walk in the fresh air!
Everyday life The main feature of everyday life inside Fat Prison is tiredness. Prisoners carry lots of extra weight around on their bodies, so not surprisingly they suffer from chronic fatigue. Result? After doing their daily chores, most of them slump down exhausted in front of the TV.
Even when they allow themselves a night out, many prisoners find it difficult to enjoy themselves. They feel awkward about their shape so instead of mixing with other people they tend to sit in the corner with other fat prisoners.
Prison Mentality After many years of locking themselves away inside their Fat Prison, many prisoners develop a prison mentality. They lose confidence in themselves and their ability to "go straight". They look at slim people and think: "I'm never going to be like them!" They think they are doomed to stay in Fat Prison, forever. Result? They let themselves go completely.
Bad for Health Fat Prison is very bad for prisoners health. Don't forget, the greater our weight, the greater the strain on our joints and spine. And the fatter we grow, the harder our heart has to work to keep us going. No wonder so many fat prisoners get ill!
Depressing Fat Prison is a depressing experience, not only for the prisoners but also for their families. In fact, the children of fat prisoners often grow up to become prisoners themselves. It's a vicious cycle.
Question So why do so many people end up in Fat Prison? And even more important, why don't they leave once they discover how awful it is?
Answer Because they prefer to eat cookies, chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, doughnuts, fatty meat and creamy desserts. They know that this stuff makes them fat but they don't care. They'd rather go to prison than give up their regular mouthful of fat. *Some may have other reasons
Are you a fat prisoner? Have you locked yourself up in your own private Fat Prison? If so, here's some advice. Don't waste another day of your life in jail. Get out now!
All you have to do is stop eating junk and start eating properly and you can walk free tomorrow.
It may take a few months before your weight returns to normal, but your tiredness will lift immediately and within a week you'll feel ten times better. So what are you waiting for?Get out of your Fat Prison today and start really living!
