So here’s the thing: so far my novel is up to about 110,000 words and I haven’t lost any steam. I’m feeling so encouraged that I can actually do this, actually complete a work of fiction. This has always been a dream of mine, and now I am doing it.
So I started thinking…well, if I can do this, how about something else I’ve always wanted to do? Like finally lose all this extra weight? Success begets success, and the success I am having at writing is convincing me that I can also have success in losing weight. In the last week, with only trying a little, I have probably dropped around five pounds. It’s a start!
So I’m going for a double header: write a novel AND lose weight. I really mean it when I say “Success begets success.” I know I’m not explaining it right, but I think what I’m trying to say is BECAUSE I am writing a novel I now know that it is possible to lose weight. Sort of like, “If we can put a man on the moon…” then we can do anything else we put our minds to. That’s me. I am strong! I am invincible! I can do anything!
Wow! The power of self-confidence!
Go you! Yes! You can do anything! I will be glad to continue cooking healthy asian food for us all to eat, eh?
