&lt;p&gt;I found that by not using the &amp;quot;L&amp;quot; word and not using the &amp;quot;ing&amp;quot; my mind looks at a positive goal.&amp;nbsp; I try to keep a mental picture&lt;br /&gt;of myself in my mind.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t want my mind to keep thinking, I am still going there.&amp;nbsp; Why?&amp;nbsp; Then it will be self defeating in the fact the mind has seen it reach it&amp;#39;s end and &amp;quot;ing&amp;quot; is always in progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I use the example if you tell some one to &amp;quot;make me a recipe&amp;quot; they can&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp; do it unless they know what the finished project is.&amp;nbsp; Our minds can&amp;#39;t take us to a healthy life style unless the mind can visualize it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With my back injury, I am dropping weight, but not fat.&amp;nbsp; I have lost muscle tone.&amp;nbsp; I can&amp;#39;t lift (simple things) the way I was able to before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another idea given to me by my doctor, take the words would, could, and should out of your vocabulary.&amp;nbsp; They are self destructive.&amp;nbsp; You most of the time either need or want something.&amp;nbsp; He also, said they are &amp;quot;people pleasing words&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I like the phrase I heard at a lecture &amp;quot;Progress not perfection&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; Change one thing at a time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now if anyone knows how to do levitation, :- } let me know.&amp;nbsp; *giggle*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Margy&lt;/p&gt;

I somehow have put every response on an email and have found it easier to respond this way. It&amp;#39;s true what you said about the &amp;quot;L&amp;quot; word. Plus, it does sound negative. &amp;quot;Reduce&amp;quot; does have a positive tone to it.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I have been getting a few buddies. What do you think about comparing our buddy list and start e-mailing each other? &amp;nbsp;I get soooo confused in that forum. &amp;nbsp;LOL&lt;/p&gt;

I really need more buddies too! I just rejoined here after a very long hiatus. I do fairly well with me weight on my own but REALLY miss having people to talk to, discuss tips, give/get motivation, and just generally BS with people who are &amp;quot;into&amp;quot; the same thing i am (meaning out eating/exercise lifestyle!) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so anybody need another buddy? i do!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
