Assignment #1

From Transformation.com

The assignment is to basically take a picture of what you are now... then write 10-12 words around it that describes how you feel, and who you are. Then you take a blank sheet of paper, with room for your after picture, and write 10-12 words around it that describe who you want to be.
Here is mine. Yes I know I went a little overboard, but that is kinda how I roll. Also, I knew I needed to have this OUT as a daily reminder that I am not static. That my new mantra is 'Continual Growth'. So, with that in mind, if it was just plain paper, I would not want to have it out. If it was pretty and matched my decor, well, I would be less likely to hide it, even if I do really want to hide the before picture! ;)

For my after picture, I actually put a picture of me a few months before my wedding. I was just about everything that my 'after words' describe. Also, it is not a picture of the body I had, because it is not even about the body.. it is about the mindset I had then.These are the words that surround the 'Past' picture:
Despondent
Tired
Tubby (I don't want to hear it Laura!)
Yo yo Dieter (that one really hit home)
Self Loathing
Liar (I do not keep my self promises)
Fearful
Pessimistic
Hiding
Floundering
Overwhelmed


The words that surround the 'Future' picture are:
Balanced
Athlete
Excited
Energetic
God's Daughter
Promise Keeper
Determined
Content
Goal Oriented
Confident
Inspired
Optimistic

Basically I already had the three mirrors over my dresser, so I just covered the outside ones with the boards. The middle one I titled 'Present'... I am just so clever! Oh, and even though I really don't like my handwriting, I felt that it was important that the words were in my handwriting as if I was telling myself these things. I am telling myself these things will come to pass!
