Catching Up

I can't believe I'm in week 12!! (aaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhhh)

I have been so so so busy lately, blogging and finishing my 12wbt weekly tasks have not made it to the top of my To-Do list....and even things on the top of my To-Do list are not getting crossed off!!

So I thought I'd go through some of the tasks that I maybe started but never finished, or perhaps never did at all!!

Week 10's Suprise Weekly Task was to make a 2 min video describing:  How is the 12WBT helping you to make the impossible possible? and up load it onto YouTube..... well I have never uploaded anything onto Youtube, I don't know how to download videos from my phone, I don;' have power point and even if I did I don't know how to use it!! The whole thing got me down because I had a plan as to how I wanted my video to go and never got to complete the task. I watched heaps of videos made by my peers and I was so moved by them I wanted so much to share my story too... So in the interest of making the impossible possible (excuse the pun) I am going to put the script and the photos that I would have made into a power point presentation onto my blog page and post it in the forums.  Better late then never I reckon!!

So Here is the soundtrack I chose - play the music and read along - hopefully it'll kind of be like watching a video on Youtube!! (yeah maybe not)


*******************************


Skinny: [skin-ee] very lean or thin; 
        emaciated: a skinny little kitten.


It seems all I have ever wanted was to be "skinny".....It was all I desired, all I seemed to ever strive for....



Hatred: [hey-trid]
to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest
 
It seems I have never known anything other than self loathing and self hate....
 

Starve, binge, purge, starve, binge perge.....telling myself every minute of everyday....

"You'll be fat forever!!"

and other terrible terrible things...


I would never speak to my children, my friends, my worst enemy the way I would speak to myself...


I always focused on unrealistic and unhealthy dreams and desires.....

a selection of previous diary pages.....


And then along came Michelle Bridges....


She taught me the importance of self love, self respect and self truth.....


She taught me to set Healthy, Obtainable, Achieveable goals....


She Taught me that I can....


And so I am....


Strong: [strawng, strong]
having, showing, or able to exert great bodily or muscular power; physically vigorous or robust mentally powerful or vigorous of great moral power, firmness, or courage: strong under temptation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now it's not all about the skinny....




And it's not all about the physical...





Michelle Bridges has helped me change my mindset and she held my hand as I turned my "impossible" into my "possible"....


Look at me now!!! and look out week 12 and beyond!!
