Mindset Monday Blog Challenge - If you can dream, it you can achieve it!!!

This is a great idea thought up by Kath over at http://courage2start.blogspot.com/

If you can dream it, you can achieve it!!!
I want you to paint me a word picture. Pretend today is not today. You are not nervous, or overwhelmed or apprehensive or excited about the next 12 weeks. You are none of those things because you have LIVED it! You are at the finish line!

Before you achieve it - you have to dream it. Put those dreams down. Make them real.

 So this is my response...


A little over 12 weeks later and I standing in the hotel suite, putting on the last few items of jewellry. My hair is done, my make up is perfect and I've slipped into the most gorgeous dress I've ever owned - and, for once, I feel like I'm actually doing the dress justice.

Today is my very best friend's wedding day, and we have slugged it out for 12 long weeks but it has been worth every single moment - the beautiful bride, along with another close friend whom is also a bridesmaid, and myself have gone through this journey together. Along with the 12wbt friends we have made, we have supported each other and inspired each other every step of the way. Together, the three of us have each lost a minimum of 10kgs each and have become fit, strong and infused with confience - and it shows.

My arms are toned, my waist has shrunk, my posture is proud and my skin is glowing with health. I'm so happy that I finally kicked my chip-binge habit whenever stress or boredom stuck, and replaced it with a healthy habit to go for a walk or be active in some way instead. It was hard for the first week, but before I knew it, the cravings, the need to binge was gone. I have gained back control in my life and it feels fantastic. I feel calm inside, I have discovered a backbone of steel that I didn't realise I had. I realised I AM worth it. My dedication to the program has infused my whole life with success. I've stuck to it, every bloody step of the way, against all the odds and despite the doubters. Now I am reaping the rewards. I still have a long way to go, but I am loving the journey. I am getting stronger every day, and building the life I have always dreamed of.
