Okay, so the title is a pun. I thought it was clever.
So, the other night in the meeting we talked about anchors. Anchors are those things you use to help you keep on track and on plan, to stay motivated. One lady in the meeting said she used a picture of her father's diabetic, ulcerated foot to keep her motivated because she didn't want to have an amputation. If I weren't a paramedic, I'd probably be like a few people around me that said, "EWWWWW"
Then, I got to thinking. I did have my own anchors, but I hadn't been using them. Here are my anchors.
1. "Do you want to eat that or do you want to be skinny?"
2. My 10% keychain, my Stay-and-Succeed Charm and my 25 pound medallion hanging in my kitchen on a hook.
3. That picture of me I posted a while back, when I was at my absolute heaviest and I looked like the Sta-Puff marshmallow person which is now on my phone.
I wish I could say that they worked all the time, but they help at least part of the time.
So, what are your anchors?
