Weight Loss Inside Out
I sat here with my cup of coffee reading wonderful blogs this morning and just had to feel excited about being here. Wow, this site is so amazing. All kinds of people from all walks of life and every imaginable place, all traveling the same journey! Sharing our ups and downs, drawing on the experiences and wisdom of others, and celebrating a growing healthiness!
I was reading the blog of one of my Rockstar sisters, Chrisie, when it dawned on me that my weight loss is different this time because it is coming from the inside out. My mind and heart are being healed of years and years of abuse, self abuse! I keep hearing so many of us say something to the effect of getting our groove going, and things that indicate that our hearts and minds are in this thing this time and we can actually feel the difference! If you are going on willpower alone, the battle is too hard to sustain, for me anyway. This is what I have always needed and what I still need to be successful.
Imagery is very important. We need to see ourselves as what we want to be… and I hope that what we are all wanting to be is a healthy, strong, fit body, not just a thin, sexy one. You can be thin and unhealthy and unfit. So I’m going to keep getting up every morning and looking in that mirror for the thin, strong, healthy, fit Holly that is now in residence there, and invite her out to replace the Holly I see in the mirror. The Inside Holly knows instinctively how to eat and how active she needs to be, the Outside Holly is learning to be inside out!!!!
Have a beautiful Lord’s Day and be healthy and happy! Hugs from Holly Rockstar

Your blog really touched me…ok, I admit it…I cried. It means so much to me that we can all do this together! You are a blessssssinnnng to me!
We are going to be who we were created to be…and we ARE going to love ourselves while we do it!
I love reading your blogs. You are so right about the inside out thingie. I have found a difference this time around that I have not had in the past doing it alone. It has made all the difference and I feel very blessed.
Awww Chrisie, how sweet. It was reading your blog that turned the light on to what was happening within me and going unrecognized!
Tiff you and Lara are among my most favorite reads as well. You girls truly inspire me. Our Rockstar team is especially supportive and it really makes a difference in how much easier this journey is here!!!
{{{Rebecca}}} you are a constant inspiration to me! You write from a wonderful place and it shows!
Change from the inside out is the kind that sticks
YES! YES!!! You’re getting it girl, and you’ve reminded me that I’m getting it too! This is an incredibly inspired blog and I think your groove is seriously GOING girl!! Keep up the amazing work, you truly are a ROCKSTAR!! WOOT WOOT!!!
I agree Holly! Imagination is important. We need to start viewing ourselves differently. Proverbs 23:7a says, For as he thinks within himself, so is he. In otherwords we are as we think. If we think, “I can’t do this. I’m a failure.” We will fail. But if we think, “I can do this. I have the victory.” We will be victorious. The battle is too hard for willpower alone - my own strength will fail me - I need the strength of the Lord to sustain me, daily!
I love it lets all be inside out, what a great new way to look at ourselves! -Dee
Shara, Angie, Madeline, and Dee, thanks girls, it’s alwya so cool when someone gets ya, isn’t it? Its been a great day and now I’m going to go and jump in the sack and sleep to my tired old body’s delight! Night!
Holly, you are an inspirational person. I am very glad to have the pleasure of being your friend here on buddyslim and happy to be a fellow Rockstar!!! Keep up your great work. And, as always…Keep on Rockin’
Instrospection…a wonderful tool, not only on our WL journey, but in life.
People like you are making my days beautiful!!!! Thank for posting. I am glad I met you because with the group behind me I finally feel like I have some incentive and purpose. I didn’t think I could really get that online, but I am seeing it makes all the difference in the world.
Thanks guys for all the positive comments. I love this place you really do get what you need online! You can give of yourself and get what you need from others, that’s how it should be everywhere but it isn’t so I’m thankful for Buddyslim!
Wow! That is so true. And thank you for the advice. Its prolly a good idea for me to start small since everytime I try to make a huge change, nothing ever seems to go as planned. I hope you keep doing what your doing and have a wonderful day. Good luck to you! And thank you once again!
Inside out, I like how you put that!
