Fat March - Half Way There
At the end of Stage 3 of the Fat March the walkers have now reached New York City … the half way point in their march of 575 miles.
Wendy walked out on the group. She just quit. The interesting thing about this was listening to her “self-talk.” It was all about how much she was suffering, how much she hated walking, how much she loathed the food. So, with all that negative self-talk it was no big surprise she just gave up.
On the other hand, as annoying as some of the other marchers are, you do hear them talking to themselves and each other more positively. They are saying things, like I KNOW I am going to make it to Washington, I know I can do it. I know if I just do “X” I can do it. And in most cases they are also helping each other as a team … cheering one another on and helping each other stay away from the temptations (donuts).
I think the most important thing I got from this past episode was the importance of listening to what you are saying to yourself.
Are you supporting what you want, with the messages you give yourself and the things you say to others … or are you sabotaging your efforts by telling yourself you can’t do it and announcing it to your friends and significant others?
