PROJECT ME PASSPORT

1. I admit I love food and I am addicted to it.

2. My weight bothers me, and I know it’s not healthy.

3. I am overweight for the most part because I overeat and don’t exercise enough.

4. I have blamed many people and many things for my fat, but I must admit I am to blame. I hold the fork.

5. I forgive those who have made fun of me, judged me, or put me down because of my weight.

6. I forgive myself and forget about all the times I tried before.

7. Today I will make time for myself. I will eat healthy, and I will exercise.

8. I will not ignore, hide from, or avoid food. I will face food and not lean on it.

9. I realize food has no power and will never solve any of my problems – past, present, or future.

10.I will be patient with myself and will not become compulsive and obsessed with losing weight and exercising.

11. If I didn’t do great yesterday, I will try harder today.

12. I will take a daily inventory and be truthful with myself.

13. I know now there are no easy ways to do this. I know the only way to achieve my goal is through exercise, eating healthy, and staying motivated.

14. I will use my sense of humor today, for it heals loneliness, depression, insecurity, and boredom.

15. This time I am doing this for me.

16. I am a terrific person and I like myself right now, no matter what I weigh.

17. The next time I have a craving for anything I know is fattening or am tempted not to exercise, I will think about the new me, and I will be strong.

18. I will take a look in the mirror and say, “I’m going to have a great day.”

19. I have a very positive outlook about “My Life”.

20. I am doing it! I am going all the way!

21. I am worth it!
