Change who you are in order to lose weight

A question that has come up in my reading a lot is, “What kind of person will you have to become in order to achieve your goal?” I believe I will have to become the following person in order to achieve my goal:

I am an active person. I move my body on a regular basis. I get my heart rate up for at least 30 minutes, 6 times a week. I do not eat processed food. My diet consists of lots of fruits and vegetables. I get between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night. I do not eat emotionally. I express my feelings through writing, through dance and to the people close to me. I am vibrant, positive person. I inspire those around me. I have a balanced life. I work equally on all areas of my life. I take personal pride in my physical appearance and always strive to look my best. I have a well-developed sense of my personal style. My self-worth comes from within and I am a confident person. My choices are based on my principles, which are defined by my personal mission statement. 

I cannot wait to become this person. I realize that it will not be an overnight transition, but I can move closer to it each and every day.

What will I do today to move myself closer to my goal?

1. I will eat natural, unprocessed food
2. I will exercise (20 minutes of Zumba)
3. I will look my best (and get a new hairstyle!)
4. I will sleep 7 hours
5. I will have fruit and vegetables at every meal

What will you do today to move yourself closer to your goal?
