Do the Diet WEEK 9: Task 43

DO THE DIET

This is going to be REALLY hard, but, sigh...no one said getting back to you would be easy! Make the commitment to START eating right TODAY! DO the DIET! No excuses...we learn through DOING. Don't cheat yourself by giving in to the temptation of doing what everyone else will be doing; that's what the "Old You" would do. Make the commitment to develop a plan to say "No" to your "cravings" and "Yes" to committing to yourself. ;)

Do What You Like WEEK 8: Task 40

DO WHAT YOU LIKE

At some point today, make time to do something ONLY the "new you" would do. Do something you've been planning to do for awhile but never had the time, energy or courage to do for whatever reason. It doesn't have to be anything major, it can be something simple. Asking a guy on a date, cooking dinner from scratch, reading a book, test driving that car, eating that chocolate cake, or NOT eating that chocolate cake! Whatever thing that makes you say, "I've been wanting to do this for a loooong time!"

A Friend's Approval WEEK 8: Task 38

A FRIEND'S APPROVAL

Today, write an email to your best friend explaining how much you value their friendship and want to do everything possible to strengthen it. In fact, to help strengthen your relationship, ask them to tell you all of the qualities they love about you as well as the ones that need work. Tell them to be as honest as possible because you're working on developing the "New You." Once you receive their response, don't fire back an immediate response, rebuttal or a "No you didn't reply message." I need you to pause, receive the feedback and reflect on it. Besides, who knows you better than your best friend?!

Who Am I to You? WEEK 8: Task 37

WHO AM I TO YOU?
Today, find at least 3 people you know and ask them the question, "Who am I to you?" Don't try to filter the conversation by helping them define you; allow them to answer on their own. Your job is to receive whatever response you get. If it's simply one word...receive that. If it's a long drawn out story about remembering when...receive that also. The idea is to gain other people's perspective on who you are. Oh yea...one more thing. You ALSO have to pick someone who you "DON'T" really care for and who probably doesn't care for you either. It could be your child's teacher, your baby's father, in-laws, nosy neighbor or Keisha from the 4th floor who rolls her eyes everytime you see her in the lobby! It doesn't matter...just find someone! Good luck!

3. Was other people's perspective of you the same as your own? Explain
