Thoughts become things.
The more you tell yourself, good or bad, the more that becomes a fact.  You mind can guide you to those things you want, your mind can guide you away from things also.  The universe forgets negative things quickly and moves on, your self thoughts sometimes can keep a negative feeling much longer than needed.
Correy and I were noticing that our self image has been much better since starting boot camp and the feeling of looking better affects other aspects of our life.

Keep it up and remember

THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS!
