Visualization

So, now we're suppose to be thinking positive thoughts and using visualization to imagine/remember our bodies before kids/food/jobs. (Why did I think I was fat in college?) I need to dig out a picture from the year I got married. That might have been the last year I was happy with my body. But that was when I could go to the gym every morning—before I moved to Baltimore and spent my free time commuting to DC, before four kids popped out between my 30th and 35th year, before working out slipped below, well, everything. Beata says she wants everyone to find a picture of themselves where you were either happy with your self OR you would be very happy with now *even if at the time you weren't thrilled —you know better now—and attach it here. We're to devote 5 minutes of every day to visualize EACH  of us based on our pictures not by what we might look like at the moment. We have 2 more weeks and then our assessment class and our party. I feel like I'm going to be disappointed with myself but then I think just getting to class each week has been a major goal for me. And I've done that. Even when I'm exhausted. Even when I have a bazillion things to do.
