I just got in from a refreshing swim in the neighbor’s fish pond. As the fish swam around me threatening to nibble at my toes, I secretly fantasized about them performing liposuction on my butt and thighs. If I could just stay in the pond long enough I might emerge actually fitting into the size 6 bathing suit I insisted on stuffing myself into! Hey, I can have my dreams right? Don’t the gurus (whoever the gurus are!) say if you can see it you can be it! Well if they didn’t say it, I am! I’m not sure that this includes seeing fish suck the cellulite off my thighs or not, but it’s my fantasy and I’m sticking to it! If you’re going to fantasize it might as well be good! I never could understand people daydreaming about all the bad things that could happen (although I must confess at times allowing this destructive habit to destroy my peace). It just seems that if you’re going to think and imagine why not think and imagine positive, happy, hopeful images. I read somewhere that if we knew how powerful our thoughts are, we would never again think another negative thought. Even the bible says ‘as a man thinketh in his heart so is he’ and I’m sure that goes for women too. I don’t know about you but I’m not about to denounce the bible. After all, it is the bible! And who’d have thought that the SECRET wasn’t a secret after all—it was in the bible all these millennia – who’d have thought!
So in all your thinking, think lean; think strong; think size 6 (OK, OK, so I AM a dress size, and a bathing suit size, and a pant size! etc etc etc); think kohlrabi tastes like chocolate (ok so that’s a stretch of the imagination but you get my drift right!). And I got all this from swimming with the fish in my neighbor’s pond! I gotta get up there more often!
