Do You Deserve to Be Thin?

Each year, I see hundreds of new faces and hear from even more voices all in hopes of slimming down, all in hopes of looking fabulous. The beginning of the New Year is a time where you too may be motivated to shed those last unwanted pounds, or the lingering “Mommy belly”, or even that tire that loves to hang around.

I want to share with you the one major difference between those that lose weight and those that don’t.

Are you ready for this?....

It all has to do with deserving.

Many men and women want to lose weight, yet as the scale lightens and as the tape measures loosens, there is a sudden pause. Suddenly, a strong jolt of fear runs through these shrinking men and women without an ounce of warning.

This fear, mimicked as your true voice, begins to ask following questions, “Do I deserve to be thin? Do I deserve the new found attention I’m receiving? Do I deserve to feel fabulous? Is it worth it?

If you are not careful, you will see your new thinner self, dramatically swell to an even larger body then you had December 28th. You’ll find yourself in the same hole, feeling the same negative thoughts, until you commit to losing weight next year.

Are you ready to transform this fear into powerful and thin generating beliefs?

Head to your mirror and look yourself right in the eyes. Look at yourself daily and say…

1. I deserve the absolute best. Each and every day I deserve to look, feel and have all that I desire.
2. I give my body the very best foods to eat when I’m hungry. My body easy and effortlessly digests every morsel of food.
3. My body and mind are magic. My body regenerates every 90 days without, and my mind can create new beliefs and practices in just 30 days.
4. I deserve a thin, powerful, beautiful body because I exist.
5. I am beautiful.
6. I am grateful for the beautiful body that I’ve been given.
7. My body tells the story of my life. Each day I can recreate a new story and my body will follow suit.
8. I am alive, my body can thrive.

Mark the statements that connect with your soul. Say those statements first thing in the morning and throughout the day. You can be one of the people that lose weight permanently. You will look back a year from now and be grateful that you took a stand for your body, you faced your fears, and you looked yourself right in the mirror and powerfully transformed your deserving a new thin you.

With love and gratitude,

Denver's Dumping

I'm sorry I haven't posted a blog in awhile.


I hope you all had a very happy and healthy holiday season!



If you haven't seen...

Denver received over three feet of snow over the past few weeks. It's like nothing I've seen before and I'm a Colorado native. We had such crazy snow drifts that we couldn't get out of the garage or out the front door without a shovel.

Take a peak...






Here's my dog, Finley, looking over the three feet snow in front of our door.




Here I am in my California sweatshirt (hardly California weather) trying to show you how high the drifts are that we had.
These drifts are over 6-feet!
So, I've been playing, relaxing, enjoying delicious foods and having a great time with friends and family. I'm sorry I've been out of touch!

Now that 2007 is here and I'm getting back into a regular schedule, I've been thinking about it...
What would make this year the absolute best year to come?
*The best health
*Added wealth
*Continued happiness
*Playing full out with my life


I have my 2007 goals written down...

Do you?
What would make this the best 2007 ever?
How would you feel?
What would you think about your life, your children, partner, loved ones?

What is one thing that you could do to totally transform the way you look and feel? That would make your 2007 memorable, powerful and the absolute best?

Wishing you the best year to come....
Love,
Marna
