Honesty Highway The Truth Works
Honesty Highway! This is the road you take toward getting real with yourself. It's the place where you don't have to hide and you can drive yourself to any destination you want to reach, keeping honesty and being forthright with yourself.
So, what does driving on this road entail? It can include things like admitting your problems. Coming to grips with reasons why you keep gaining weight and figuring out why you keep repeating the same behaviors over and over again.
Admitting your problems might seem easy. "I weigh too much and I like food too much." That might seem reasonable, but we need a more specific answer. Why do you eat so much? Are you trying to fill a need? An emotional need? A physical need? Are you on medications that make you feel hungry all the time? Are you just giving in to cravings you think you can't control? This is the one most important question you can ask yourself on our road trip because it's the answer to this question that can help you plan the strategies and other plans you'll use to lose weight.
Repeating the same behaviors might seem like an endless road of guilt and fruitless efforts. How can Honesty Highway help with this? Well, being honest with yourself is going to help you stop yourself when you see a negative behavior beginning to show itself. If you find yourself going for the candy bar you shouldn't have or saying negative words to yourself, tell yourself to stop. Don't try to fool yourself, or give yourself one last binge or one more time to mess up. Don't be a self-pretender. You owe it to yourself to be honest. You're worth it.
So, Honesty Highway is our second road and it's one of the best roads to take in your life whether you're losing weight, starting a new business or just trying to figure out some new hobby to try. Give yourself the truth...it's always the best route.
