I’ve talked a lot about retraining the beast within me. If you haven’t read the entries, here they are:

Sometimes it’s like I’m having a conversation with myself and it’s a war within me. Having a year of perfect days is harder than I thought it would be and easier than I thought it would be. Just when I think I’ve got it down, it gets hard again and I have no idea why. This commercial from Nike is JUST what I needed right now.
Next time you find yourself face to face with the beast within you, remember this commercial and those fateful words:
I’m done with you!
Leave your old self behind.
This applies to keeping on running when I want to stop and it applies to eating when I’m not hungry or eating food that I KNOW is going to start a binge. I’m ready to retrain that beast inside of me to do what I want, not what is easy or gratifying.

Thanks for the shout-out! I’m working on overcoming that “inner voice” as well. Have a great day!

That is awesome! I had that same conversation with myself the day I decided to rejoin Weight Watchers! The old self still pops up every now and then but not for very long! So far, the new girl reigns supreme!

I love that commercial. I think anyone who watches it will absolutley relate, and that includes me. I love the end. Running off into the distance, leaving the lazy, negative self behind.
