The new moon is coming, and with it another opportunity for a fresh start...and six months to Christmas.  True story.

We prepare accommodations for a guest in our home; but what of the new version of ourselves?  When we shop, we seek out the sizes we wore in our larger pasts.  When we look in the mirror, we still expect the heavier image to greet us.  I termed this "phantom-fat" years ago; and it's a phenomenon that can haunt us decades into maintenance (mine has).

Our self-identity usually gets stuck, even when we change our lifestyle, our look, and our waistlines.  In effect, we bind ourselves to a past life we really don't desire, but won't let expire.  Let's work on this Phantom.

• How can you untether your phantom-fatter self-identity so you can make room for our hard earned fitter one?
• What security might you be finding in that sense of self identifying with your less-healthy life?
• Do you feel anxiety, a stirring, or any uneasiness in your body thinking of giving up the larger-you identity - if so, where in your body & why do you think you feel it there?
• Finally, think about the role you want to play - after all, you're writing your own script - describe the way you want to feel (not look), and be specific.
