The power of acting 'as if'

I've read a lot about this acting 'as if' technique. Like acting slim before you are slim, acting confident even when you don't feel it. Supposedly the more you act, the quicker you'll get where you want to be. It means stepping outside your comfort zone.

I figured I was doing quite well, looking in the mirror and telling myself I didn't mind what I saw. But then I saw these Avatar fans and realised my idea of stretching my comfort zone is, well, a tad modest to say the least...

just popped over here after i saw you on my cocktails blog - good for you for the progress. It seems like you have a sane outlook on the 'diet' process...so i definitely think you can indulge in the occassional cocktail or two! congrats on the progress!

Thanks Forest.
i think I just might. Thanks for the tip. I'm a gin fan myself so I will do some investigating.

Chill! Losing weight is hard enough!

Feel like snacking? Go pop some bubble wrap instead!
