I can't say that repeating positive affirmations to myself would do a whole lot of good, but the positive affirmations that I have continually received from others have been golden.
I do find the mental aspect continuously difficult to deal with. In my mind I was never as overweight as I really was. I had been in denial for years. It took a lot to get a hold of the fact that it was going to be a long hard road to get back to the shape that I was in in high school and college. Now that I have lost 75 pounds, I look like an average, out of shape, overweight 34 year old. I still struggle because I am able to hang with guys half my size, but I look in the mirror and see an overweight 34 year old. I would like to have the body to go with the physical condition that I am in, but that is going to take losing another 50 pounds.
Oh well, time to go ride 20 miles.
