Essentially, we are what we say:

Words to eliminate from your vocabulary. NEVER use them again!

Impossible
can't
try
limitation
if only
but
ANY word that tends to measure or evaluate others!

Thanks for this thread lee!
Never
is a word I need to eliminate from my vocabulary.

It can cut both ways...
I'll NEVER lose these last ten lbs!
or
I'll NEVER regain the weight I lost through my WLS.

NEVER is an invitation, like daring the fates. It's a word I
knock wood after saying.
I have enough experience under my stretchy belt to tell you that
it's almost like a jinx on a plan. NEVER, means,
I give up
I surrender
It's not worth the struggle when nothin's gonna come of it anyway!
What kinda thinking is THAT?!
NEVER............ hmmmmmmmm maybe ALWAYS is the next one... gotta think about it

Yes, these are words that, even though small, are really loaded with meaning.

I agree. And I think TRY is used too much and implies a lack of commitment. I laughed out loud when I saw it on your list!

If you TRY to do something, you'll never actually DO it, and, conversely, if you do it that means you did more than try! Instead of tempting the fates, using the word try in a sentence is like you're cowering in fear that you are unable to actual do the things you say you're going to try to do...

Thanks for this thread. Good coaching.

Lee, I have to share this & give you & everyone else a chuckle. Since you came back I've been trying to figure out your member name. I was reading it as "laker at lee", no it's "laker atlee", no it's "lake ratlee". It was really annoying me that I couldn't figure it out. Finally, DUH! The lightbulb went on..."lake-rat lee". She lives at a lake! I just laughed at myself.

LOLOL..... Jean you know I oughta put some spaces in a few places! I'll have to see if I can figure out how to do that.

I love your bunnies I've been trying to sendthem to my sisters all week can't quite figure out how to transfer it from the computer file on to my email where the pic shows instead of a filename. I'm not very computer saavy.

PM me your email address & I'll send them to you. Then you just need to forward them.
Jeanie

Thanks Jean!
