I Think I Can...

For whatever reason, day 4 of this calorie restricted diet is working for me. I believe that dieting is psychological. If we don't really believe it will work, we can't succeed. Belief is paramount to achieving anything. "I think I can" isn't just a popular line from a story about a train. It is the basis of all success.

I think I can....

• lose 20 pounds
• be a good mom
• improve my relationship with my husband
• sell more houses
• launch a successful Skincare business
• make you smile
• buy a truck for Zimbabwe
• give more money to my church
• read the bible every day
• hear from the Holy Spirit
• combat demons
• overcome my sin nature
• make it to Heaven

I don't think I can

• be perfect
• get everything right all the time
• scrapbook if i don't want to
• be who you want me to be
• have the body of a 20 year old
• give up watching "the Bachelor"
• eat a lot of fresh bread without "heavy" consequences
• be a vegan
• earn your approval
• give up chocolate

I think I can believe there is a God who loves us and wants us.
