Resistance is Futile: It will Impede Your Weight-Loss Journey Everytime

TODAY...I want to share with you how I learned to get married and how it directly correlates to the weight-loss process or ANYTHING you really want to change in life. Yes, I learned to get married...it was alien territory for me. When I was dating my husband, I actually had some  extreme anxiety and much of the time we were dating, although I really cared about him, deep down I was scared to death because I didn't know how to be in a lifetime marriage partnership.  I didn't know how to yet because I'd never done it. My brain subconsciously thought it should have been easier. My brain subconsciously thought there should be no struggle to learn to do this.

Hi Beautiful Friends, How have you been doing this week? I'd love to know.  Shoot me an email to Candy@candywright.com I'd love to hear any victories or struggles you've had this week. I want to share a story about an amazing lady whom I met back in 1992. She was a mentor to me and when we would go an do something slightly nerve racking while meeting new people, she'd say the most hilarious things to help herself and consequently me get the courage to go to them. (Maybe I'm assuming she needed the courage, maybe it was totally just me!) When we'd go to meet someone new, she'd say, put on your Wonder Woman mask. She said she liked to put on her imaginary Wonder Woman mask and it helped her laugh, lighten up & gain courage to go do the next new uncomfortable thing. She described the old plastic Wonder Woman Halloween costume masks with the slightly parted lips and she'd make her lips go into that shape. (I probably should have ask
