Here's an exercise to try. This is going to be an acting exercise, and it will be fun and enlightening.
Pick one day, one 24 hour period. It doesn't matter if it's a weekday or weekend. During that day, you are going to be the lead actor/actress in a movie about you called, "I'm in my skinny jeans." Go about your day like any other day, but in this special 24 hour period you are going to live your life like you ALREADY fit back into your skinny jeans. Even if you are many sizes away from your skinny jeans, in your head for this one day, you are totally there. There's no more dreaming, waiting, or being afraid. You are going to act, behave, and feel like the skinny jeans dream has come true. For many of you, you have gotten back into the skinny jeans before, so go back and remember what those feelings were, and feel them again. I know for me, as an example, when I was in my skinny jeans, I never felt nervous meeting new people. I was more confident talking to strangers.
I'm going to do this exercise too, and my day is going to be this Sunday. I'll let you know what I did, and what happened. The point of this exercise is to take a brief moment and move forward. No more waiting and dreaming for a life we want to live until we get thin. Let's get a taste today.
