I was just trying to improve my health and just considered it as eating more whole foods so I d have a healthier diet lifestyle overall..I didn t have a blog at that time so I wasn t as aware of all the various labels raw foodies and people in general put on themselves and others..I didn t consider myself not a raw purist I was just a gal who was eating high raw sometimes 100 raw for months at a time with an ultimate goal of losing weight improving my health and lifestyle habits and basically finding a way that resulted in eating to live.

I think it is so important that we change our beliefs and as we change our beliefs our actions will change.

I wonder how many I’m wandering around with myself that no longer really apply? Hmm, must ponder. Thanks for the inspiring post!

One thing that has really helped me is identifying new habits I want to have, setting goals for practicing those habits each week, and keeping track of the habits. It doesn’t have to be food or exercise related. I have actually gotten these ideas from the Habit Factor (book and app), and the Happiness Project. Just a thought!

My problem is not enough exercise. Down with desk jobs!

We’re all a work in progress. Throw away all those old labels you put on yourself and make new ones…happy, healthy, fit, strong, confident, content. You just have to change your mind and make it happen. Rock on!

I’ve had strides of positively coping with stress, then I swing back into destructively using food, again. I’m not destined to be that way, I’ve learned, because I have experienced other coping mechanisms. I want to be optimistic that the strides will be longer than the swings.

Danny and I have talked about labels before when we considered having our son tested for different things to possibly explain his behavior. Danny was against it because he didn’t want his son labeled and for that label to be an excuse for his behavior and for him not to rise above it. In this case, I can see his point.

Labels and sharing those labels with others can be eye-opening. But, yeah, there comes a point when we say, “Okay, I’ve got all my info on my label, what am I gonna do with it now?” It sounds like you’re ready to move on. The label served its purpose, now it’s done. Use it as a launching pad to reach a new level.

I like the “fake it ’til you make it” concept. I should use that one, again. Thanks for the reminder.

You’d just be telling the truth. “I have said that I’m inconsistent, but I’m really not.” You’re just telling yourself the truth. You’re not inconsistent and you’re not the perfect model of consistency either. Just truth. So glad about this insight for you though.
