 c33 in da house!
When I mentioned the wardorbe idea, Steve said it could backfire at me. It could if I hadn't reached a certain stage. Let me explain: when you wear clothes that are just a little small for you, looking in the mirror reminds you that you are overweight. When you are in this situation,you have two options:
1) either you go on a self loathing path and say to yourself: "I am fat" and hate yourself, which leads to you being more stressed and more proned to eat compulsively. (This is probably the backfire that Steve talked about.)
2) either you look at yourself objectively and tell yourself: "well, my previous choices put me in that position, but I am doing something about it" then visualize mentally the thin picture of yourself- and be happy that you are getting there.
I go for option number 2! I do not mind being reminded that I am overweight. That is the whole point of this experiment. Before the wardrobe experiment, I was too complacent with myself. Now, I am tough with myself, however, I still like myself, my body and what I am doing. It is quite a new sensation.
How are you getting on C33? How about the others? Is anybody else trying this?
