Hi Vansters,
I just have to say a big thank you for all the feedback I’ve had from last nights show. It’s weird talking about myself but you’ll see how my journey is one of great beams of light right through to the solitude of darkness.
I’ve only just begun.
Part one and two are available here on the site on my blogtalk radio console on the right hand side.
I’m set now to do part 3 which is all about sex, drugs and rock n’ roll – yeah really. It would have been so easy for me to be a drop out during my teens but I have this knack of pulling myself out of the shit.
Maybe there is something in my history you can relate to?
I am incredible and YOU are incredible. We are are incredible human beings who have the ability to do wonderful things.
I’ve received emails and messages a few times over the last two weeks by people who’ve asked me to help motivate them. I can do that but the first thing to know is you have to want to be motivated. You have to want to make a positive change. It doesn’t have to be even to do with your weight but I must admit I’ve been asked by people how to motivate themselves to do things despite the fact they don’t have great self-esteem concerning their weight.
Listen to yourself for a moment. Think about your goal and then go back to writing down how to achieve that goal. Then spend some time thinking very positivly about yourself. I don’t want to hear that you don’t like this, and you don’t like that about yourself. Screw that. That is for losers and you are NOT a loser. You remember I just said you are an incredible person. I don’t even know half the people that read this blog, but I know for them to even come to this site and want to read what I say they are incredible! That’s it, it’s done. I said it and I will not hear you say anything negative about yourself.
Secondly: If someone gives you advice take it with grace and either act on it or put it to one side. Do not, under any circumstance put up road blocks in regards to advice.
You hear it all the time don’t you? Someone suggests a way you can make a change or do something and all you do is say, no and but. Look, in my experience these people just aren’t ready to make the change.
How do I know? I’ve done it myself so don’t think I’ve not worn those shoes. I have and they were the worst shoes I’ve ever wore.
Not everyone’s advice is sound but they’ve taken the time to think through a problem you asked them advice about.
At least you could do is go away and think about it, even if you don’t act on the advice given. Simply put – quit making excuses as yo why something can’t be so.
People set up way too many personal road blocks for themselves. They make their lives truely more difficult than they need to be. Breath, slow down and think.
Every day we’re doing this Mantra.
Say it. Do it. Believe it. Even when you’ve feeling like a bag of crap and the whole world seems hell bent on making things difficult.
You will succeed.
Look at the people who shout their names from the biggest roof tops? They are succeeding. It doesn’t mean to say their lives are a bowl of cherries. No one has a perfect life. There is always a little glitch somewhere, but they still continue to say these words. I BELIEVE IN ME. Shout it. Sing it. Believe it.
I’ve spent way too long being the one who never wanted to shout her name from the roof tops. Now I’m going to be shouting my name out all over the place so people know who I am. What I’ve been through and in turn some people may find it gives them a nudge to be more positive.
What do you want to change?
How can you change it?
Stop blocking ideas.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Get up and say ‘I believe in me’
Write down your goals and the things you need to do to get there.
Go over and over and over them
Tick them off as you go. May take one day, may take five years the point is you made a plan.
Learn from your experiences. Nothing is a mistake, just a learning curve.
Don’t give up. Don’t be weak.
You are strong.
I believe in you.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.
Great!
We can celebrate your arrival into a new world of ‘getting up off your behind and making it happen’.
LET’S GO!
Send this blog entry to your friends. Tweet it and please know that I don’t give a flying fajita who thinks I’ve grown a big head by wanting to shout my name or telling you to do the same. They can shout just as loud as me and it would take less effort than disrespecting me and hating on me. We don’t need those negative people in our lives. Leave them behind and SHOUT YOUR NAME!

Thank you! I’m honest and blunt because I’ve been that woman who dislikes herself. I’ve walked in those shoes. So I can say I know how it feels. But I know on the other side (where I am now) there is a much nicer place to be.
Another thing about accepting ones self is to actually realize you can’t and should not aspire to have the body of someone else. Work within your limits and accept them. People may lose weight for what ever reason but they still have to love who they are as a person.
Most slim ladies I know have something about themselves ’still’ It makes me laugh they sit there saying they are bloated with out one bit of extra fat.
So you see trying to fit into the mold of someone else can be bad news so the first step is to love you for you and make goals to make you happy and fulfilled.
Of course use others and mentors and inspiration, but ladies should try and turn into that person. We each have unique qualities that make use fantastic.
It’s a harsh road and some people won’t like what I say. That’s tough. There are far too many plus-size women feeling sorry for themselves.
They need to get up move on with a ‘can do’ attitude and not ‘I can’t.’
They have to really want to do it!
‘fat admirer’ discussion is on my list of things to address. I want to talk about how it can be a blessing and a curse in general. I know you’re ready to join me in that discussion and debate. It will be interesting. I value your opinion.
Thanks

Nick, it’s easy to get caught up in just doing a job and bringing home the money. But it’s also good to have a goal in mind and plan to achieve that goal in order to do a job you love to bring home money, more effectively.
It’s easy to wonder around life aimlessly, as I have done.
Think of what you love to do. Make a goal that encompasses it and then make your plan to achieve it.
You’ve got the idea of what you need to do. Are you ready? Let’s Go!
