Curves Nerves

I start my new job at Curves today and yes, I am nervous. I guess a little bit of nervousness in this situation is a healthy thing. After all, it's not every day that you start a whole new career. I will be in a new place meeting lots of new people who will be looking to me for help and motivation in losing their weight. I'm thinking this must be what Richard Simmons feels like sometimes although you would never know that he is nervous, if he gets nervous. I, on the other hand, am obviously nervous. Palms sweating? Check. Stomach flopping? Check. Negative thoughts? Check.

Negative thoughts are a no no. We will have none of that. After all, this is what I have wanted to do ever since Richard jumped into my life and helped me lose 95 pounds all those years ago. He taught me that I could do it if I just stuck to his 3 part program. Exercise, correct food portions and positive motivation. Yes, I said positive. No negative thoughts were allowed. I looked in the mirror every day and said the upbeat things that Richard taught me to say like "you can do it" and "you are worth it". Positive thoughts helped me then and they are going to help me now.

I am so going to succeed at this new job. I am going to find happiness and self confidence there. People will be thrilled to have me to motivate them and help them stay on track. I will make new friends, feel better about myself and have a little extra cash. Now that's positive stuff.

Wish me luck.
